As a two-sport athlete for most of his high school career at Coral Glades and Marjory Stoneman Douglas, Sheldon McCullum has signed with the University of North Florida to run track.
The decision was based on several reasons: wanting to stay close to home, conversations he had with Coach Pigg, and visiting and meeting the team.
“I like to thank my parents who always supported me in my sports and helped make this possible, McCullum said. “I’d also like to thank Coach Bob and the MSD coaching staff as well as Coach Eddy, Coach Gonzalez, Coach Cam, Coach Frasier, Coach Carr, and Coach Dan.”
He began running track as well as playing football at Coral Glades in 2019. He won the District Championship in the 800 meters. He went on to States and finished in second place. He returned after the pandemic for one year at MSD, where he shined.
After setting a personal best 1:53:55 in Districts, he ran a 1:53.69 to come in first place in Regionals. Once again, he came in second place in the State Competition, where he broke his time at Districts to set a new personal best. He also finished in second place in the 4 x 400 and third in the 4 x 800.
McCullum will run in the ASUN Conference. UNF sent three players to the NCAA in 2021 after finishing fourth in the conference tournament.
