You didn't answer my question. What was my plan that I "bailed" on?

The 100 yd dash one was that fastest ever high school time period, wind aided or not. Previous was 9.99, also wind aided.WestTexasCrude wrote: ↑Sun May 12, 2019 10:05 pmThanks. I heard he broke the record earlier wind aided. I thought the video was from yesterday. Much oblige on the correction.
Actually there is a back story I wish they would cover. They never do. This kid broke a national 29 year track and field record. We know when, now how about who and where. Pretty amazing seeing a T&F record last for almost 1/3 of a century. May be obscure to 99.8 % of the population, but there's some guy near 50 (if alive) that this was the highlight to his younger days. I think it would make a great story.FSchmertz wrote: ↑Sun May 12, 2019 11:23 pmThe 100 yd dash one was that fastest ever high school time period, wind aided or not.

not to be racist or anything, but i think the bigger story is that the fastest kid is a white guy.WestTexasCrude wrote: ↑Mon May 13, 2019 8:21 pm Actually there is a back story I wish they would cover.

un fuck ing believable!
It will be interesting to see what he decides to do after HS. You would assume sports related (football, basketball, try out for the Summer Olympics), but they say academically, he's near the top of his class- may decide to do something totally different. And I really want to see his HS GF. Let's get her in the picture here so we can all relieve our HS years.

P.S.I don't know who's picture that is in the article, but no, it wasn't another fast white dude who held the record. Here he is in 1990
P.P.S. That's the writer of the article apparently, Sports Editor David Claybourn

/ I thought he didn't look track worthy 29 years later. Hey, thanks for your time researching that. That could not have been easy finding info and videos from 29 years ago. Surprised it was also Texas. Could have been anywhere.
