TxGirl Posted March 18, 2007 Share Posted March 18, 2007 10.40, Rynell Parson, San Antonio Stevens (prior to spring break) 10.32 is great improvement in a week or two. should put him a full second ahead of the rest of the leaders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
626 Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 that's pretty fast. I'm guessing that they're both in 5A schools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NBQB3 Posted March 20, 2007 Share Posted March 20, 2007 It has to be a 5A school. That kid can fly if he's running that fast and his only a sophmore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The simple fact that the 5a schools have 3000 kids to pick from...compared to the 700 or 800 a 3a and under have = a big difference...some of the best runners in the world might not ever run track just because they are in a huge school. and vise versa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanielLions23 Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 What I am trying to say is that a 17 year old kid is the same no matter what size school he attends. In track and cross country I am amazed at kids from smaller schools that get excited beating a kid from a larger school. Running is running and kids are kids. This kid could have easily gone to school at a 1a or 2a school. I can understand relays and having more kids to choose from, but if you label yourself as a 3a runner you will only be a 3a runner. It's a good thing David Overstreet who went to school at class B, Big Sandy didn't think he was just a class B running back, he might have never made it to the NFL where a lot of 4a running backs didn't make it.

Texashurdler Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 True talent is talent. In running your point makes alot of sense...but in other sports there is a big difference in teams in most cases...just because the number of athletes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why does it have to be a 5A school. There are fast people in all classifications. I saw a track team back in the 70's that only had 2 pople finish 2nd in state. They won the 100m, 200m, 400M, 800M, 1600m, 3200m, place in a couple field events. Yes there were a very small school. In the NE Texas area you will see results from some small high school meets that have faster times than some of the larger schools. Larger schools have an advantage in overall team scores and a lot of times with relays due to overall numbers and the law of averages. However, one on one may not be the case.

Eagle Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 I thought this guy ran a 9.99 indoors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedCreek49 Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 Denis Johnson from Arkansas High, Jr., ran a 10.35 (100m) this year. This is not as fast at the the 10.32 guy but it's still moving. Arkansas High has about 1300 students. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrackJack28 Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 Originally posted by EagleI thought this guy ran a 9.99 indoors? Not sure how anyone could do that considering that indoor tracks have either the 55m or 60m dash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
68Hornet Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 Dennis Johnson's time was wind-aided. That was the first week and since then his fastest time has been 10.64. In fact, he ran 10.9 last week and got beat by teammate Fred Rose, who is definitelky faster than Johnson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedCreek49 Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 I've seen very few running events that were not wind-aided or ran with wind resistence. The wind blows most all the time, either from the front, back or side. I guess we would have to know how many MPH the wind was blowing D.J. ran and was their some devive wind that only blew when D.J. ran? Seems like other runners should have had some of the benefit of the wind as well including Rose. Indeed, Rose may be faster, I've heard that he was, but until he runs a fast 100M time, I will say that D.J. has the fastest time. Also, when looking at other runners time around the sate, I'm sure wind played some part in their times as well. I know when State meets are run, the wind speeds are listed in the results for several running events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
