Tray Hurst is the best runner to go through our school... It may seem my opinion is full of speculation but if you were around the guy as much as I was you would know..
2001/2002- Ran 16:15 at the State Championships, Went to state in the 800 and ran 1:57
2002/2003- Led his team to a STATE CHAMPIONSHIP with a time of 15:39, helped his TEAM get another STATE CHAMPIONSHIP in the 4x800 which sacrificed his chances of going sub 4:20 in the 1600..
It is fact that if giving the oppurtunity to run the 800 fresh, the school record would also be his (1:55ish). Also, this kid was THIRD in CC but never had the chance to run the 3200. We will never know what kid of time he could've produced.. My guess is close to Powells record. He also possessed mad speed; more than any of the sprinters we have had in the past 4 years and I seen him jump about 19 in the long jump just messing around..
Powell doesn't compare to Tray because Tray's overall range of talent was alot better.
BUT his reign won't last past this year...
