Yes... South Fla speed is definitely "oVeRrAtEd".

Henry Parrish 11.6???
Marcus Fleming 10.96???

Is it me or SoFla speed a bit overrated? I've notice a trend over the past few years. The recruits that we consider fast arent really that fast. I've seen 10.9+ kids get praised as speed demons on the field. When I was in HS in the early 2000s a 10.9 would get laughed at.

Fleming ran a 10.67 in an event just last weekend too

I was a 10.8 100m runner my senior year and I was the 4th or 5th fastest on my squad. My county my senior year in 2003 had about 10 guys running anywhere between 10.4 and 10.7. That's not including Nassau County or the city. In my eyes 10.9 is an average HS track speed but would never get you a peep from a college recruiter.

Looks like Drew's from Suffolk County, LI.

It’s you. South Florida (and Florida, specifically) has produced the fastest kids over the last almost decade. Faster than Texas, faster than California.

The same kids that run 10.96 in February might run 10.5x or even 10.4x in May at the State meet.

Most high school kids don’t know how to run a 100m so stop equating 100m with 40 yds.

where do I equate the 2?

 

[Shizzap84]

How many elite highschool football players win the 100 meter state championships?

 

[Arehel]

Actually most 100m runners hit top speed at around 70m. It's the last 30m that come down to training and finishing.

Was a 200m runner, that was my top between 90 and 110.
Good to know actually.

10.9 is not slow. That's above average speed.

 

[TheRichtShow]

So from the Prelims to the finals he got slower? That's rare and probably shows 2 things. Inexperience and bad coaching.

You claim you ran track and you dont know the difference a change in the wind can make?

I swear every one of your posts gets worse and worse

 

[gogeta4]

I must have been faster than I thought in HS

you may have been though. But track and football speed are 2 different things...

There is a reason every college is down here recruiting...Its speed...and its here n boatloads...Best speed area of the country quite easily is south florida.

 

[gogeta4]

Lol same clown poster. He's not to be paid any mind.

@Drewny1 is usually a good poster. Not sure if its the off season effecting him or the coaching change but we may need to get him hooked up to the same psychologist thats dealing with Rumph.

Wait, where did someone mention the wind? Was the facts about the wind even presented?

Please post that video of you running a 10.8.

 

[Geddy Lee]

@Drewny1 is the worst poster on this board.

 

[Geddy Lee]

He’s really not, but when he outkicks his coverage …

No he’s brutal

If you look at the actual results they were running into a pretty decent headwind.

 

[UMFarArcher]

Start of track season is always slower times. Guys build up throughout the season. For someone claiming to have familiarity with track, you seem rather ignorant. A 10.9 would never get laughed at, especially at the beginning of the track season

My brothers and me ran a 10.9 when momma called us to supper and we were having pork chops - and we had to stop and wipe our feet before coming in.

You are complaining about 4 or 5 tenth of a second and maybe the kid had a bad take off you are tripping

Track season just started. Stop reaching. On the football field no one can stick Fleming.
