Totally agree.

This kid is only lacking experience. When he gets it - and hopefully he keeps his head on - then he will be a force. A major force.

[Marlow]

Clearly he is a mess. 10.06 in high school. He should probably switch to the 800.

Yeah, because, like, y'know, he certainly has NOTHING left to improve upon . . .

[26mi235]

He does not have to lean in any of his high school races so he has little experience with that 'fine point' of sprinting.

Is he competing this weekend?

Top 4 in at the District meet go to Region.
Top 4 in Region go to State.
There are 4 classes of 16 districts (4 regions). About 10 teams in a district.

Apropos of nuttin - My (2A) District meet was yesterday - great fun. Taking 17 kids (8 in relays) to Region; expect to take 3 boys (3 event entries) and 5 girls (8 event entries) to the State meet.

Good work Coach!

Good work Coach!

Yes, as I frequently point out to them, it's all ME; they have the easy part of just going out there and doing what I told them (which is . . . jump higher and farther and run more quickly than their opponents).

From the video, it wasn't a great start and he was running into the wind. I am not sure I still see 9.9x this summer but a legal 10.0 won't surprise me.
