Thomson signs with WSC track team

Wayne State College men's track and field coach Marlon Brink has announced the addition of four student-athletes to the 2023 signing class. The quartet of Trevor Thomson of Page, J'Dyn Bullion from Bellevue West, Ty Dingman of Omaha and Mason Weickum from Casper, Wyoming, join Jaxson Ninete of Elkhorn as members of the 2023 signing class for the Wildcat men.

Thomson is a sprinter from Summerland High School where he was a three-sport standout in football, basketball and track and field. As a junior in 2022, Thomson medaled in both sprint events in Class C, taking fourth in the 100-meter dash, running 11.18, and sixth in the 200-meter dash, finishing in 22.67. He was also a state qualifier this year in both events. In football, Thomson rushed for more than 1,000 yards three different seasons, including 1,400 yards his senior season when he was named Class D1 All-State First Team, helping Summerland to a 6-4 record and the school's first-ever football playoff win.

"Trevor is a versatile sprinter who has a great start out of the blocks," Brink said. "He has the potential to come in and contribute to our sprint squad right away."

Bullion is a thrower from Bellevue West High School and is also a Wayne State football recruit. He was a three-time Class A state qualifier in the discus and shot put and at this year's State Track Meet was the Class A runner-up in the discus at 181' 10, while also finishing 11th in the shot put at 50' 3.

Dingman is a jumper/sprinter from Omaha Westside High School where he was a starter in football and track and field. As a senior he was a Class A state qualifier in the long jump and ran the third leg on the third-place 400-meter relay team.

Weickum is a hurdler/sprinter from Natrona County High School in Wyoming where he was a four-year starter in indoor and outdoor track and two years in football. He won the Class 4A state title in the 110-meter high hurdles as a junior and senior.
