I’ll try to stay up for the women’s 400 final live. I won’t last until the Men’s final. 😂 😴. Cologne city center visit is planned tomorrow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ga96 Posted June 24 Report Share Posted June 24 Like what I'm seeing from the miller kid. Hopefully he can keep it up as he gets older. We've seen a lot of promise in the past with young runners that end up not reaching their perceived potentials. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My hometown has 5 d1 basketball kids and none of them are seniors. They all train at a gym that has about 12 other d1 athletes of various sports. They eat right and train hard working on explosion and muscle recovery. They haven't had any crazy injuries in their sprorts either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nptb17 Posted June 24 Report Share Posted June 24 Boling got in on time easily. It's going to be a very good and fast final in the mens 400. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great for this kid. Texas had the Legendary Johnny Lam Jones 3A Lampasses who played football at UT. There were 2 more Jones' non related known as Ham, Lam, and Jam. He accomplished this as a 18 yr old HS kid. #TexasSpeed. Before enrolling at the University of Texas, at the age of 18, he qualified for the 4 × 100 metres relay, becoming the youngest athlete from Texas to earn a berth on the U.S. Olympic track and field team. In the 1976 Summer Olympics, he won a gold medal running the second leg of the 4x100 team that set a world record with a time of 38.33 seconds. He also replaced an injured Houston McTear on the U.S. team and finished sixth in the 100 meters. He returned home as a national celebrity. He ran the anchor leg on his 440yd relay at State that has gained mythical status in Tx. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

golfaddict1 Posted June 29 Author Report Share Posted June 29 Might see a new WR in the women’s 200 meter tonight. Will also be interesting to see the 3 men who comprise the USA 200 in France, tonight. Lyles is likely a lock, leaving 2 spots open for Kenny Bednarek, Christian Coleman, Erriyon Knighton and Courtney Lindsey. Coleman didn’t qualify for the 100. Will he qualify for the 200?
