"3. 400m tells you NOTHING about how good of a football player someone is. I would say the same for the 100 and the 200 as well. There is no track conversion for football ability. "
Same as for the 40, vertical, power ball,etc.
Mike Harley in his last year in track started running the 400m to build stamina and endurance as he already had HS national elite speed with an official 100m--10,.78 and 200m --21.52.......best 400m was 48.64
Nigel Bethel coming this summer also did the same after reaching national elite HS...
