No disrespect for Lam Jones' remarkable feat, but at what level would that Lampasas HS team be competing in 2019?  It appeared to me that the other anchors were running in the :48 range in the video above.

Apples to apples, Boling ran a 44.74 split and Jones’ split converts to a 44.8 when changing from yards to meters.

Odessa Ector was the second place team when Lam won.  They were pretty fast, especially the anchor.

If Boling wins, he can't accept the $10K payment because it would be an NCAA violation right? I mean, he's using his athletic ability to make money so that's considered going pro

So just saw a link he took up ginn on his race offer. Gotta say This is what sport is about. Fuck the money. Just try to out duel the Motherfucker opposite you, and leave it on the field. Don’t know if it’ll happen but would pay to see their race

why is the media saying the 10.13 set a national record when that mark was achieved in 1986 by Derrick Florence of Galveston Ball?

also, anyone remember Robot Roy Martin of Dallas.   These 2 speeds are National records to this day.

high school rules. However, the wind was legal under USATF rules which allows for 4.0 m/s
wind in multi-events. Unfortunately, high school rules do not specifically address multi-events.

wow, just noticed a few things

UT's Brian Robison owns the Texas HS Discus from 2002

Michael Carter, one of the best college NT ever, played at SMU and the Joe Montana 49ers IIRC still owns the National Record in Shot Put from 1979!

UT's Marquise Goodwin owns the Texas long jump, 26 -10 is the national record ! damn!

RG3 owns the 300 Hurdles.

If being fast and able to catch a football was all it took to be a football player, Bullet Bob Hayes would have been a damn good one. Damn, now I have to see how this kid compares to Hayes on the track.

What a terrible comparison.  Bob Hayes WAS a good football player.

I believe the Ball kid's record came during an invitational after he graduated from high school, but before he started college.  Depending on where you look some entities count it as a high school record while others don't.  Jeff Demps record took place under the same constraints (after high school, but before college).
