I apologize but I checked his records and its not a 4.22 its a 4.3 flat.

He does not run a 4.22, but he is fast. If he were in the 4.3 mark then D-1 teams would be talking to him. I have seen him run on many occasions. He could not outrun the kid from Alcoa last year or the year before. Until he runs a pro timed 4.3 he is still not even faster than a 4.4 runner. Never go by the coaches time stopwatch. Who's recruiting him?

KGP- You never know- Nobody thought any "highschooler" would bust the 4 minute mile either- and WEBB proved them all wrong!

 

I dont even know the guy- so maybe he can't run a 4.22 but- dont say it CAN'T be done- NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE!

No where in either of my posts did I say that running a 4.22 in the 40 can't be done or that it is impossible for a high schooler to do so. What I did say was that there is no high schooler right now who can run a 4.22 in the 40. And I'm talking FAT, not a 40 timed by some high school football coach holding a 10 year old stop watch who believes that his best player is the fastest in the nation.

 

And peacemaker, it was actually Jim Ryun who was the first high schooler to break 4 minutes in the mile. Alan Webb has the record, but he completed the feat about 30 years after Ryun did.

My apologies- and you are correct- It was Jim Ryan and I knew that- Your statement just sounded SO BOLD- "No high schooler runs a 4.22 40!"- Thats all I read, and thats what I got out of it- you know how it is on here- unless you "CLARIFY" you can take anything almost anyway!
