Thats pick'm up and putting them down.

I wonder why he didn't run the 100m

[kaorder1999]

i bet they are trying to get his legs ready for the 100....its a big change going from the 60 to the 100 and i bet they are working on his endurance

[crzyjournalist03]

wow...winning a race by a good couple seconds is impressive! Doesn't look like he's having too many endurance problems to me!

[kaorder1999]

though that seems like a fast time....that would have ranked him 132nd in NCAA Outdoor last year in the 400.....hes just running it to work on endurance....and he didnt win it by 2 seconds....thats the 6th place time listed beside his...those are only OU people....

and if im not mistaken....i think the second place finisher, Bryan Kelly, is from Emory Rains....

[crzyjournalist03]

oh ok...now I see...I guess that makes sense.

[vfunk]

Bryan Kelly is the same guy that beat DaBryan in the 400 at state Blanton's freshman year. I think Kelly was a senior though. As a matter of fact...thats about the same time Kelly ran while in high school. Guess its good enough to pay for his schooling though!

[vfunk]

yeah...im an idiot...all that is wrong...i was thinkin of justin youngblood from goliad. Thanks for the correction KAORDER

[kaorder1999]
