He "looked" ok. Winning time was 10.3? The track is a trip. Plywood 5 lane in the air. Live coverage till 6pm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MA Fan Posted June 4, 2017 Report Share Posted June 4, 2017 Cole Beck, who led Blacksburg to a surprise Virginia 3A football title last year, set the all-time, all-class VA state meet 100m record with a 10.41 yesterday. Surprised that Noah Lyles didn't go faster than that. Penn State RB commit Journey Brown broke Leroy Burrell's PA state meet record with a 10.43 last weekend.

Texasball Posted June 5, 2017 Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 Kalon Barnes from Silsbee TX beat Athony Schwarts American Heritage FL head to head at the Adidas Boost Boston Games Barnes ran 10.34 Schwartz ran 10.41 Could see these two run some incredible times next year - both are only Jr's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texasball Posted June 5, 2017 Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 Anybody see the Burns kid from Florida run the 300m H this week? 2nd fastest time in History and he beat some good competition from Texas. USA Track and Field is moving in the right direction we got plenty of talent in the states to beat JAM! Bottom line is Burns was the fastest kid all year in this event and he proved going head up against the kid from Plano Tx who had the 2nd fastest time. Correct me if I am wrong 2nd place in this race was a top 10 all time performance??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texasball Posted June 5, 2017 Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 Better keep eye open for this Kalon Barnes kid from Silsbee TX - He is only Jr. and ran right with TC running 2nd fastest time in the nation - Made TC run personal best to beat him. 20.51 vs 20.54 - Beat some other good kids in this event from Florida and Georgia. Coming from small town Silsbee my bet is Barnes is only now starting to reach his potential. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texasball Posted June 5, 2017 Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 It would be really cool if in the coming years - we could have true all-star track meet - state vs states - All states welcomed I going to start using my connections to make this happen. California needs to end their season one or two weeks earlier! If Not - the rest of the nation can run without them! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cooper got to look at Barnes from 3 lanes away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same could be said about the 4x100 - Not sure how Texas won the 4x200 However, I believe if we had the best from Florida and Texas it would have went down like this. Texas - wins 4x100 Texas - wins 4x200 Florida - wins 4x400 The Burrell kid from LA has chance to be really good - only freshman now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texasball Posted June 5, 2017 Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 Remember the conversation about wind legal times. Now that all the state championships have been run.

Texasball Posted June 5, 2017 Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 I would like to see the above group healthy and running together If all healthy and on the same track - this would be incredible race. Kalon Barnes just beat Schwartz head to head - we don't know if Schwartz is still struggling with injury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe - I had some coaches tell me that many of the best 200m runners don't end up running the open 200 in Texas because of the 4x200 - Kids can only run so many events and the 4x200 is double the points as is all the relays in Texas.

Remind me does Florida run the 4x200 at the state meet? No 4x200 at any regular meets, district, regional, or state. Have seen it run early in season at relay specialty events, but it is rare. All events in Florida are 10pts for 1st place. Relays don't earn more points. In the 1960's the 4x200 was common. I ran it in junior high ('68,'69) #oldman. * Sprint medley isn't run much anymore either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan in daytona Posted June 6, 2017 Report Share Posted June 6, 2017 The old sprint medley started with a 110yd sprint (at the 220yd starting blocks from finish line), then a 220 yd sprint, a 330yd sprint, and finish up with a 440yd run at the regular finish line. #datingmyself 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While the unofficial splits I copied from online were clearly off as Burrell ran quicker... also surprising that Cooper ran the 2nd leg. Walton tore the 3rd leg and Burns cruised in nicely. If you're up for a challenge... go for it, lol. Here is the video. I tried twice and it's obviously quite difficult to do. If 5 people tried we'd get different times for sure. I got in two tries with a best of 3:03.62 So I'm .27 seconds too high. Burrell I timed off the sound of the pop that's right around 4 seconds... I came up with the following: Burrell - 46.33 (he ran a PB in the 400 earlier to finish 2nd to Cooper in 46.19) just 15 yrs old?, Cooper 45.96, Walton 44.84 (several felt he ran 44.5 split) and Burns 46.49 http://pinoyathletics.info/2017/06/usa-kids-set-world-u18-record-4x400/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least one competitor turns 19 this year so it isn't a youth record, plus one kid competes for the Cayman Islands not the US. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
