As a boy's track coach, he is a three-time MHSAA team track and field champion, and his school has also twice been the MHSAA runner up.〔 In his role as a football coach, he is the current MHSAA Division 1 champion and a former ''Detroit Free Press'' Coach of the Year,〔 who once convinced Vernon Gholston, the 2007 Big Ten Conference Defensive lineman of the year and 2008 NFL Draft sixth overall pick, to try playing football and to return to the sport after quitting. His 2010 and 2013 teams advanced to the MHSAA semifinals and 2011 and 2012 teams won back-to-back Division 1 championship games. ==High school== At Detroit Central High School, in track and field, he was a four-time All-American,〔 ten-time MHSAA champion (three-time team, four-time relay, three-time individual) and Michigan High School Track and Cross Country Athlete of the Year award winner in both 1981 and 1982.〔 He led Detroit Central to three consecutive state MHSAA Class A championships as a team from 1980–1982.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Boys Track and Field Champions 1925-2007 )〕 As a sophomore in 1980, he was the anchor of the Class A state champion 4 × 440 yard relay race team. As a junior in 1981, he won the MHSAA Class A high hurdles, as well as participated on the 4 × 440 and 4 × 110 MHSAA champions. As a senior, he won both the low hurdles (300 m) and high hurdles (110 m) as well as participated on the state champion 4 × 100 meter MHSAA champions.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Boys Track and Field Individual Champions -- 1980-1989 )〕 His time of 13.5 in the 110 metre hurdles was the state all class record from 1981–1986 and continues to be tied for the second fastest time in state high school history. His 1982 time of 13.6 seconds continues to be the fastest 110 meter hurdles time ever run at the MHSAA state championship meet. Although not officially recognized as a record due to metric conversions from yards to meters, the 1982 time of 41.7 in the 4 × 100 is considered indistinguishable from the official record and is described as a notable performance according to state records.〔 Nationally, he was the number one ranked scholastic high hurdler as a junior as well as the number one ranked long (low) hurdler as a senior and was undefeated by high school athletes in both years in the respective events. As a junior, he won the 1981 AAU Junior Olympic Games in the high hurdles (By some accounts he was an AAU Junior champion in 1982). As a senior, he won the International Prep and Golden West low hurdle races. He was timed as fast as 13.48 seconds and 13.28 (wind-aided).〔 In addition to his track accolades, he was an All-state and All-American tailback and All-City swimmer.〔 Some sources regard his 13.2 time in the 1982 AAU Junior Olympic Men 110 Meter Hurdles Young event a national record as of May 2013.〔 As of 2009, the AAU considered it to be the national record.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=2009 AAU JO Games - 8/1/2009 to 8/8/2009 )〕 However, as of 2013, AAU regarded Booker Nunley's July 27, 2008 13.41 time to be the junior Olympic record for the newly named 17-18 division (which was said to be formerly known as the Young division). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Thomas Wilcher」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
