For decades, the UH men’s track and field team has not been a stranger to success, having produced Olympic greats such as legendary sprinters Carl Lewis, current head coach of the track and field program, and Leroy Burrell. A shining star of the program today is senior hurdler De’vion Wilson, who is beating and setting new records every time he is on the starting line.
While Wilson beats and sets new records, there was a time in his life when he didn’t think he would still be competing today.
“It’s kind of surreal because after my freshman year, I wasn’t sure if I was gonna run track anymore,” Wilson said.
