Lawrence North senior Traquincey Wilson is a dual threat for the Wildcats track team. The defending state long jump champion (23-feet, 6 inches) can fly on the track as well, his 10.75 third place finish in the 100-meter dash finals as proof. HSSTM quizzed Tra, his mom and his coach to see who knows him best, because life is not a short sprint.

"Tra is a talented young man who has yet to reach his full potential," says LN boys track coach Ken Browner. "Once he develops that mental drive to not let up he will be very hard to beat."
