What's next, bench press reps to determine football superiority?   Athletes will be athletic.   Speed is one attribute.  So is weight... and the skill set

What Leonard Fournette thinks about the little Texas kids that ran the 4x100......

 

 

[DevilDog]

That HS Kyoto-Rakunan Has the fastest kid in Japan in the 100m with a 10.49 and the fastest kid in the 200m with a 20.9.  That is why they ran a sub 40.00 and with their handoffs.  If the kids in TX and Fl could master that I believe we would have a few sub 40's.  People don't understand how crucial that is when you are talking seconds. For instance Valodosta running a 42.5 could easily beat a 41.8 school on any day of the week.

Great story no doubt.  And here it is to relive:  A freaking 3:09. Got damn Goosebumps watching this race. Best damn Spectator sport in the World. GOAT 4X400 .

 

[DevilDog]

Another view. Crazy Poly's 3rd leg had the slowest split but ran the most incredible leg IMO.   I wish the best of Ca, Fl. and Tx could participate in this meet. In Texas we are having the Regionals and Cali runs the latest Track Schedule.  Great Job Poly a beast of a Program.  Know to play a lil football as well.

I read that as well.  I didn't realize Blake was a 400m guy.

I think that the Texans do really focus on the handoffs in the relays.  Texasball does a great job of keeping us all informed on all of the relay times.  The Jamaicans have more than a few high school squads that dip under 40.00 every year and will this week at the Penn Relays.  That is why I know they aren't going anywhere even when Usain hangs up his spikes.

We are surely a minority here lol... I thought the same thing initially.  I do recall Bolt running the 400 well, looks like on IAAF he ran a 45.28 once 10 years ago.  Can you imagine his kick if he trained for the 400?  Shit.   

The Penn Relays will have an excellent 400 field, but not Van Niekerk (yea, Wayne is easier lol).

I dig these sports science vids... just very cool presentation with wow factor.  Cook and Kamara coming up.  Watched these last night   Yup, there's a Bolt mention lol.  

[golfaddict1]

Kamara is freaking superman...  watch his interesting high jump move lol.   Just craziness with athleticism these kids.  Cook's stock went down for the draft I read perhaps?   Watch this vid, lol.  If the Giants take him I won't be sad.  OT preferred, but their running game sucked for too long.

If Bolt trained to run the 400, 200 like I though he would as a youngster, he would have that 400m record looking ridiculous.  I feel very confident in saying that.

Yea, hard to put anything against Bolt...  The World's this summer setup the dates ideally and on purpose to set up 200/400 double attempts for the men and women.  

Bolt, Wayne, de Grasse 200 final this summer?  We can hope!   

[DevilDog]

Great stuff here lately.  Man L.B. Poly ran a helluva 4x400.  That 3rd leg handled his business and I never new Blake ran the 400m in H.S.   Looking forward to the Penn Relays will tape it I will be at the 6A region 1 and 5A region II Finals here in Arlington this weekend.  Should be some great times and yes NPTB17 we have had some crazy winds here the last week. Again good stuff from both of you and TexasBall.  I will give him a call soon and hopefully we can watch some T&F together this weekend.

[DevilDog]

I wish Japan sent their kids to the Penn.  I know that is a helluva trip but damn did you see their 4x100 times.  18 teams under 41:00 and a sub 40:00.  They are not going away either.

The Penn Relays would be a great meet for Japan to send some of their schools to.  It has become a pro Jamaican crowd which makes it a blast imo.

[golfaddict1]

We are F'd with the USATF.TV  being a paid site for the live stream.  I do see NBC Sports listed so I will check some times for the TV airings of the Penn Relays.  I will edit/add here. 

OK, looks good...  NBC Sports will air live tomorrow from 5:30 - 6:30 EST and Saturday from 12:30 - 3:00 EST also live.  Afterwards, NBC Sports will air the Drake Relays (Iowa) from 3 - 5 EST.

I was asking a couple of weeks ago about a strategy in the 4x400.  I was mainly asking you and golf.  Do you think it would be good to put your two fastest 400m guys 1st and 3rd in the 4x400?  I was thinking that your top guy could get out to a nice lead and your second guy would just hold the lead.  I would have my fastest guy going third to really open it up and let my 4th leg coast.  I'm talking about the really good squads and not the b and c teams.

I like my 2 fastest on the 1st and 4th.  I like the 2nd leg as my weakest.   The 4x400 is such a mental and more strategic.  I feel just the opposite I need my Anchor to be a horse.  Interesting.  I would have set mine up like the L.B. Poly coach went more times than not.  Who are the best U.S. Teams in the Penn this year?  T.C. Williams did not embarrass us last year.

I like you usually like the beast 1st and 4th but I have been thinking about different strategies.

Tell me more sir... I have a feeling I am missing out on this gadget.   Kodi we are using often.   I see a lot of potential though, perhaps PM is best.  Thx!
