QUINCY (WGEM) – Illini West High School’s Coleman Gilpin will be traveling north after signing with Southeastern Community College track and field recently. Gilpin shared he plans to specialize in the 400-meter dash during his college career. After only starting track his sophomore year of high school, he’s excited for more growth and new experiences with his new team.
“I’m looking forward to going to different places,” said Gilpin. “I think they go to places like Florida and Kansas City. I’m hoping to get as far as I can, honestly, and improve upon myself. Just me versus me and find out the best runner I can be.”
Gilpin still has a couple more weeks in an Illini West uniform. He’ll take to the track for sectionals this coming Friday.
