It’s been a while but I was watching a HS meet in the DFW area and the finals of the 400 m or 440 yd (can’t remember) runners warming up. One guy in an outer lane looked pretty confident. By the time he hit the finish line the rest of the pack were just barely coming out of the last turn. Saw the same thing happen a couple weeks later - Jeremy Wariner.

Thanks CCTX. Noticed in the 100 meter CJ Guidry. Wonder if he is related to Charlette Guidry from Houston? Got to see her compete when I was coaching in Houston and she was something to watch. Had a girl in the jump that was going to push her but the event got a rain delay and my girl lost her composure.

We didn’t have a track team in high school but we competed in track meets. Our baseball coach would ask who wanted to get out of school for a day to go to a meet lol. Then we would just pick something that sounded fun. I guarantee you wouldn’t be bored at any track meet we ever competed in, it was a competition to see who was the most pathetic and who would have the worst injury. Except for Johnny Ray, he was one of those generational athletes, he ended up playing pro ball for 12 years mostly with the Pirates. He won every track event he ever entered, with zero preparation. He weighed about 180 and got in the shot put, never picked one up in his life, and set a state record for all classes.

I do see that CJ (Carlton) Guidry signed with the Houston Cougars football team at WR.

I know it was windy that day, but 9.98 is flying. 9.98 would have won the Olympics 100m up until 1968 (Jim Hines) and was faster than Carl Lewis’ 9.99 in 1984
