Sounds like our new RB is quite the athlete.

What was it, a dual meet with a small school or the Texas state championship?  To say that he 'placed first' doesn't tell the full story.

His uncle put the 100m on twitter, there wasn't any other runner in the picture when he finished.  He looks the part.

Texas schools don't do duals, but it may have been a small meet at a lower division school.  The 100 meter time is solid, but not earth shattering by Texas HS standards, but it is early.  48'8" in the shot, for a RB, is incredible.  That will score points at most meets he attends this season.
He was a beast.  First meet of the season, he beat me in the shot by 1/2" at just under 50', beat me in the Discus by right about a foot, don't remember the distance, but I was just ok at Disc, so nothing great, then anchored the 4x400 relay and made up 150 meters, caught and passed our anchor guy to win the event and barely pass us to win the meet.  This was a varsity meet at his home track in Fairfield, Texas and we were the only two freshmen there.  He was just a plain beast.

His relay team probably would have had a faster time if he would have ran two legs of the race

To better understand his 100 meter accomplishment, look at the following comparison:

Devwah Whaley of Beaumont, (Texas) Central placed first in the 100 meters on Saturday with a time of 10.67.
Which is a 100yd dash time of 9.7566 ... if I converted properly.   :razorback: :razorback:

DeAngelo Williams still holds the state 4A record in the 100-meter dash with an electronically-timed 10.81 seconds, in 2001.
