Gilmore Takes Her Talents to Truman

Liberal’s Audrey Gilmore is taking her talents to Truman.  Gilmore announced on Twitter Wednesday night that she will attend Truman State in Kirksville, Missouri.  Truman State is an NCAA Division 2 school.  She will compete in the track and field program there.

“I am excited to announce that I have committed to Truman State University to further my education and running career,” Gilmore said on Twitter.  “First, I want to thank my family for always supporting me.  Thank you for going to my meets, sitting in the rain, and watching me run in circles.  Thank you to all my teammates who have pushed me day in and day out to be the best version of me.  Lastly, thank you to every single coach who has pushed me along the way, encouraged me, and never stopped believing in me.  I want to thank coach Schwegler for this opportunity.  I can’t wait to start a new chapter at Truman State University.  Go Bulldogs.”
