Dominique Worsley out of Manchester Central High School in Manchester, New Hampshire signed a national letter of intent to run track at the University of Illinois. Worsley, who is head coach Wayne Angel's first signee this season, is a highly ranked sprinter who has won two state titles.
"I am very excited to have an athlete of Dominique's caliber on board," Angel said. "He is a very gifted athlete who brings a lot to the table in terms of his scoring potential in the 60m through the 400m. In his specialty event, the 200m, we should see an immediate impact at the Conference and National level with this young man."
Worsley owns New Hampshire state titles in the 55m dash and 300m dash and was the New England Champion in the 100m and 200m. He also was ranked eighth nationally as a junior in the indoor 200m and 15th in the country in the 55m dash (indoors) and is currently one of the top 300m runners in the country.
Angel continued, "Dominique fits the mold of our great sprinters of the past. He is highly motivated and is a fearless competitor. I envision him being one of Illinois' all-time greats before it's all said and done."
