One of the shining stars of the West Liberty track and field program during the mid-1970s, Steve Gilson made his mark at the conference and national level. A four-year letterman and two-year co-captain who never missed a practice or meet throughout his West Liberty career, Gilson was a 4-time All-WVIAC honoree.
A two-time WVIAC champion in the 220-yard dash, Gilson set the school record in the 220-yard event and also ran a leg on the school’s record-setting 440-yard relay unit. The 1974 WVIAC Co-Track Athlete of the Year, he led the Hilltoppers to the 1974 conference title and qualified for the 1974 NAIA National Championship meet in the 220-yard dash.
After graduating from West Liberty, he worked in the local area for several years and served as head coach for the Hilltopper cross country team during the 1991 season.
