QUOTE(WestTNtrack @ Apr 30 2007 - 07:05 PM) 826448614[/snapback]I just wanted to add that I'm nearly 100% sure that Gilreath's 47 and his 21 were both hand timed so they could be up to a second off. The common thing is to add the .24 seconds. Even with this he may be the fastest still in TN, but It does change things, him vs. Adrian Bentley, Chris Vaughn, or Lee Moore would all be very tight in the 400 or 200. James is an amazing 800 runner, and I hope he gets the state record.

 

don't forget about dickenson (or dickerson i dont remember) from hamilton. he went 48.6 fat in the decathlon. you gotta think he can probably go under 48 fresh. if i remember correctly the 400m is the final day 1 event so he probably wasn't completely exhausted or anything but he wasn't fresh by any means. someone correct me if i am wrong because i am no dec. expert

wow were they counting in their heads or something. no kid is going to just come out of nowhere to be one of the top 5 sprinters in US high school history i mean until 05 the national record was 10.15, this kid is probably an 11.2 fat runner at best but thats probably even a stretch. i'm going to hope this was a relay split because if someone is actually that slow with the stopwatch theres something wrong

but why?

 

Byron Massengill from franklin county runs the 100 in 10.2

 

 

That's total ########. I'm sorry, but if you are dumb enough to believe that, then I have already lost all respect for you and I don't even know who you are.

i am pretty sure the fastest sprinter in the U.S of A is none other than Cody Abshire of Coalfield he has some nasty speed that no one in the state of tennessee has ever seen before. he is about 6'8 and will out run anybody in the state.

um im pretty sure the fastest in the nation are guy and nellum but im sure being 6'8 automatically makes an incredible sprinter i mean look at michael johnson and jeremy wariner and maurice green, they're all super tall arent they?

Being tall actually would make you a slower sprinter. I'm not saying that all tall people are slow, but the fact that he is so tall does make his acceleration a lot slower, making it much harder to win a 100 or 200 meter race.

    • What you are saying is true about high school athletics being a privilege and not a right, but NO ONE ever knows what will happen if a case goes before a jury.  Again, I have been in a couple of jury rooms and it's always a little crazy.  That is why my prediction is you will see a settlement before the case goes to trial.
    • What rules does everyone not operate by?
    • So you want a have and have not split? Sound like the perfect ramp to elitism. Tell those rural kids that they'll never be able to compete with those urban kids. They're not good enough right? Or we could just do what travel baseball does and have tournaments every weekend and give kids big fake rings for winning a few games. The suburban public schools are typically the ones with more funds. Urban and rural schools have more in common in finances than they do with rural schools. I've taught and coached in all of it. The difference is attitude. But if you're jsut going to say you can't compete because you don't have the money then that's an excuse. Especially in basketball. The balls are the same size, the rims are the same height and size. The ball dribbles the same in some rural gym in mountains as it does in the FedEx forum. Charters come and go like a fart in the wind. They are no real threat to anyone. Magnets could be but rarely do they win either. It just hasn't been seen in Tennessee.  
    • That’s a good line. Wins would be Soddy, Howard, and Ooltewah. Maybe East Ham again or Knox Central. Tyner maybe but being that late in the year it’s hard to say. I don’t think we get by Red Bank this year.    Rhea could be anywhere from 2-8 to 6-4. 
    • I agree with the Farragut and Bradley claim. Those will both be wins. Bearden like you say is depending on when you get them in comparison to when the wheels fall off.  As far as West goes I’m 50-50. They have been able to reload so far so until they show me they haven’t I can’t count them out.
