It will either be him or Skye Green. Either way, it should be a great race. Heck, they may both break the record. If they will get into the weight room and really work their upper bodies correctly, they would see the benefits of it. Few young sprinters realize just how important a strong upper body is to be a great sprinter. Just look at the strong upper bodies of all the great sprinters from the past & present. Evidently, you have to be cocky as hell also.

How fast is Skye in the 100m? I heard that Cuero kid runs 10.1.

Cuero should be loaded in the 3 relay's . They lost one Senior to graduation from the double gold winning 4x100 , 4x200 relay's. As far as how many they can have in Austin it's hard to tell I know of at least 2 alternates fron last year that should make it this year 100m, High Jump. The Relay's and sprint's should be the strong point for Cuero followed by the Hurdles . As far as Brandon James he should qualify in whatever he want's to qualify in. He won Gold in the 200m last year along with anchoring both realy's . The 100m is a possibility but what I remember most was him running another anchor leg down in the 4x400 who had at least 100m lead .By the time it was over with he had lost by less than 10 yards *impressive to say the least*. . I know they have their first track meet in Bastrop the 25'th ---the girls start up this weekend in Ganado . We had one lone qualifier in the girls div. and will probably qualify again in the 300m hurdles .

All I know is, the Cuero kid beat Skye (Soph) by about a 1/2 step in Austin last year. If Skye builds a little more upper body strength (which he should) by the state meet this year, he has a good chance of making up that 1/2 step, and then some. It ought to be alot of fun to watch.
We also have several other speed demands that should once again put together some great relay teams, but I dont know if we will be quite as strong in the relays as we were last year.

I have a daughter that made regionals last year as a freshman. She runs the 2 mile. However she has been working on the 300 hurdles and I think we may see good things from her in that race this year. Maybe not state but I think she will do well for a sophomore. She will also run the mile relay and the 2 mile.

Vernon has had some very good track teams in the past (In particular the girls teams) but I'm not so sure this year how well we will do.

Which race did the Cuero kid beat the kid from Sweetwater ? In the 4x100 race where Sweetwater took second to Cuero here are the times ....Cuero 41.53 Sweetwater 41.98 Kennedale 42.02 . 4 steps at least :D

Thats not the race we were talking about, but since you brought it up, Skye got the baton in 4th place, and ran down the other two and just ran out of room, or he would have ran down your boy.
We were talking about the 100m.

What race were you watching ?----Cuero was in 3rd on the last leg and ran both teams that were leading down as far as your guy Green catching Brandon well let's just say I havent seen him get done that way yet not that it wont happen it's just I havent seen it yet .. Same as in the 4x200 where he tracked down that Patton kid from Jasper and to top it off Cuero had the worse draw for lanes you can have the outside .


I should know I came out 20 bucks ahead because of these races :smoker:

Sorry. I had to go back and refresh my memory. I was thinking of the 4x400 that we had to place 2nd or better in order to win the title. It was Michael Williams who ran down several guys on the anchor leg, but just managed to get into 3rd. Had he not run out of real estate, he was was catching #1 & #2 in a hurry.

02-16-2006, 04:43 PM
In The Port Lavaca Relay's when all the other Varsity kids left to go get ready for prom he stayed and ran the ran the Anchor leg of the 4x400 relay . The other leg's were ran by kid's I dont think ran the 4x400 relay all year it was a throw together type of team they did get second though .


My bad I jst checked it must have been the 4x200 relay he almost caught that kid from Rockport in .

The kid from Cuero will be the fastest kid in 3A this year I have to give him that, but he is also suppose to be a freshman in college right now.So yes the advantage goes to him.Oh yeah I know this because he got invited to the Great Southwest Track and Field Classic in Albuquerque NM. last year and I looked at the list of guys we had on the Texas Team to see how many Seniors,Juniors, etc. were invited : all Seniors a few Juniors and 1 soph.

:rolleyes:Eligibility for Athletic Contests

The sole purpose of eligibility rules and contest regulations is to keep competition equitable and to maintain activities in proper perspective. It is the responsibility of each school to see that students do not compete unless they comply with all eligibility rules. It is also the responsibility of the student to observe and obey these standards. According to UIL standards, students are eligible to represent their school in interscholastic activities if they:

* have not graduated from high school,
* are full-time, day students in the school, and have been in regular attendance at the school since the 6th class day of the present school year, or have been in regular attendance for 15 or more calendar days before the contest or competition,
* are in compliance with state law and rules of the Commissioner of Education,(see TEA-UIL Side By Side)
* are enrolled in a four year, normal program of high school courses, and initially enrolled in the 9th grade not more than 4 years ago nor in the 10th grade not more than 3 years ago,
* were not recruited,
* are not in violation of the awards rule, and
* meet the specific eligibility requirements for academic, music and/or athletic competition.
* meet all the requirements above,
* are less than 19 years old on September 1 preceding the contest or have been granted eligibility based on a disability that delayed their education by at least one year,
* live with their parents inside the school district attendance zone their first year of attendance (see your school administrator for exceptions),
* have not enrolled in or audited a postsecondary athletic or physical education course,
* have not moved or changed schools for athletic purposes,
* have not violated the athletic amateur rule, and
* were eligible according to the fifteen day rule and the residence rule prior to district certification.

Schools may adopt stricter standards for eligibility to participate in extracurricular activities



Seems eligible to me ;)

My question to you is--How many way's does a rule need to be written so that you can understand them ?

This is a trend that im sure many people on here have seen *parent's holding back a kid* for whatever purpose . Does that make it wrong ? -no- The rules are written by the UIL for a reason and any kid that obey these rules shall have that opportunity to participate in such contest. You nor I should be calling anyone out for any reason if these rules are obeyed<That my friend is my point

I rest my case :rolleyes:

This is all confusing me!

I have a friend whose son was held back in kindergarton because the teacher felt he was not ready to go on to first grade at that time. His second year in kindergarton he was sufficiently caught up to move up to the first grade.

Fast forward several years down the line.....he played on all sports teams for 4 years of high school and was 19 his senior year.

So....as far as I know he was eligible all that time because nothing was ever done or said about it.

Does that fall under the rule of a "disability" or where does this come into play?


* are less than 19 years old on September 1 preceding the contest or have been granted eligibility based on a disability that delayed their education by at least one year

If you really want to talk about something let's talk about steroids, I heard that's a big issue in your part of the country.

To settle the issue the kid from Cuero is fast as heck and is most likely the fastest kid in 3A this year. I guess I was just wishing he was in college this year where he belongs. that's all

Why does he belong in college when he hasn't graduated high school? And this was brought up a few months ago, if I remember correctly. It seems there's a problem here. :thinking: :thinking:

I agree, it is a great time. We run into the alot of same folks each year, many of them are just fans that go watch the kids participate; they don't know any of them personally.

My poor husband..he loves the state track meet and his days off have NEVER fallen on that weekend since we have been married (almost 10 years).

I just went and looked at his days off after I got the date....he is off May 8 - 11 this year!:(

Dan Schmidt should go to state in discus this year to defend his title and possibly the shot as well. After looking at the region leaders in pole vault, Pecos McCool could very well make state w/ 14'6"; his best ever it 14', I believe. We also have a foreign exchange student, Henrick Geshonke from Germany, who ran a 1'50-something in the 200m the other day. I love it that he's fast and doesn't even realize it.

chill ladies, just relax,
all these times are bogus, yes they may have ran them but, you have to factor in many things, most of the meets in texas are hand timed, most have plenty of wind which was the case in austin, and everyone knows that the UT track is the fastest one down south,, i don't care about these times, neither do college coaches, all they care about, is if these cats run these times consistenly and how they do at the texas relays, which has far more competetion than does the state 3a meet,
so ladies just chill and don't get to caught up on these cats, many things can happen, grades, work ethic, INJURIES, and just bad coaching, which a lot of track coaches in texas are football coaches coaching track on the side and they don't know a lick about the sport,
track is my speciality, so brothers no brash comments,
until next time.......................

Chief you need to lay off the pipe man, seriously get some help.Unlike most sports, in track you compete against the clock not the individual.I teach my son to run for his personal best in time, and not to worry about what place he gets, that will take care of itself.
