Say hello to L’equan Chapman. He’s an openly gay college track and field star hoping to take his athletic career to the next level.
Chapman recently graduated from Shippensburg University, where he was a standout jumper and sprinter. In 2015, he was named Athlete of the Year by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association Atlantic Region.

How about we take this to the next level?

As soon as I saw “track star”, I scrolled right down to see if there were pictures. I LOOOOOVE track star physiques…. lean torsos and thick legs. And he brought friends, too… more to ogle.

L’equan, keep pushing forward, and I hope you get to the Olympics too. And you and fellow tracksters are cuties!
