Dearborn Shines Bright as Sophomore Aubrey Wilson Leads Divine Child Girls’ Track Team to Glory
In a thrilling display of determination and teamwork, the girls’ track and field team at Dearborn Divine Child has just clinched their second consecutive regional championship! At the regional finals held on May 17, the team scored a staggering 196 points, proving not only their skill but also their spirit in the face of competition.
Leading the charge was none other than sophomore sensation Aubrey Wilson, a name that’s quickly becoming synonymous with success in the track world. After qualifying for the much-anticipated 2025 Michigan high school state championships back in March, one might expect a young athlete like Aubrey to take a step back and play it safe. But not her! She decided to put her skills on full display by participating in four events at the regional tournament, both to help her team and to keep honing her own impressive abilities.
Shattering Records and Setting New Standards
In what can only be described as *an electrifying performance*, Wilson dominated in the 100- and 200-meter dashes, finishing at the top in both races. But that’s not all! She also took the reins in leading her 4×200 and 4×400 relay teams to victory. With each race, it became evident that this year could be monumental not just for her but for the entire team. Her commitment to her teammates was palpable, and her hard work from last year is paying off big time.
Last year, Wilson made headlines by winning a state championship in the 100-meter dash. Now, she has her sights set even higher. Already leading multiple events, including the 100m, 200m, long jump, and the 4×400 relay, her tenacity is inspiring. But there’s more to her story than just winning races.
A Legacy in the Making
Becoming the first sophomore in Divine Child history to be named team captain is no small feat. This title adds a fresh layer to her already impressive list of accomplishments. It’s clear that track runs in her blood—Aubrey is a third-generation track athlete, with both her grandmother, Paulette Schumacher, and her mother along with aunts having blazing trails in the sport.
Her journey into athletics began at a running club in Memphis, but after experiencing some nerves, she took a break. However, after relocating to Michigan, she found her stride again at Reuther Middle School in Rochester Hills, eventually catching the eye of Coach Randy Williams—a family friend with over 30 years of coaching experience.
Breaking and Setting Records
In her very first year with the Divine Child troop, Wilson made waves by setting school records in multiple categories, including the 100m, 200m, long jump, and relays. This season, she’s broken her own records in the 100m and 200m, a testament to her stellar work ethic and relentless dedication to improvement. During the regional tournament, despite facing a hiccup with an official’s premature gunfire during the race, her team achieved another record-breaking moment in the 4×200 relay. Talk about resilience!
Looking Toward Future Victories
As the clock ticks down to the state finals on May 31, Wilson is focused and eager, especially after her second-place finish in the 200m last year. She’s not just looking to compete; she’s ready to carve her own identity in the world of track and field, aiming to make a name that will resonate long after she leaves her mark.
With a mix of natural talent, hard work, and an unyielding support system, Aubrey Wilson is not just leading her team to victory—she’s setting the stage for what promises to be an awe-inspiring future in sports. As she chases her dreams on the track, one thing is for sure: she’s definitely one to watch!
