One of the WPIAL’s top track and field talents is headed to Florida. WPIAL champ Colton Dean of Canon-McMillan, who last month won a national title in the decathlon, will finish his high school career at IMG Academy. This dude has a bright, bright future☀️‼️
I am excited and honored to announce that I will be continuing my high school career at IMG Academy in Bradenton Florida. Thank you @IMGATFXC for giving me such an amazing opportunity. I look forward to competing for such an amazing program. All glory to god ✝️
