Demus, a 2001 graduate and two-time Olympic hurdler, said Wilson is where she learned how to build — and be part of — a team.“We might've not hung out together during the school day, but when it came to our team and doing team activities, we were all together, all together,” Demus said.“The more I did it, the more I just noticed how much kids are malleable and you could really impact them and kind of set them on the right path,” Demus said.
“When you have something tangible to put in front of them, they're more likely to listen to you,” Demus said with a laugh.“No one can beat hard work,” Demus said. “I want them to see how hard work equals success.”
