Harold Krull was a key ingredient in Quincy High's Varsity track team in 1941. As a junior, Krull was an outstanding sprinter, capturing high honors in most every event he entered.

At the Geneseo relays his senior year, Krull won first place in the 100 yard dash and was a member of first place winning 880 and mile relay teams. He and his teammates Lee Haney, Jack Flacks and Ken Seiz captured the 880 and mile relays at Galva. At the Ft.

The Quincy High team continued to roll, placing first in the State District Track Meet. There, Krull placed first in the 100 yard dash, turned in another first place finish in the 220 and still another in the 880 relay. At the State Finals held in Champaign, Krull won a gold medal in the 220 and as a member of the 880 relay team. He finished second in the 100 yard dash. As a team, Quincy finished second, losing the state title by just one point. After graduation, Krull attended Kirksville Osteopathic College and later Iowa State University.
