Arguably the best Track meet I've ever attended and you know I have seen many. Elite HS, College, Olympians and so many Out of State kids from D.C. To Arizona. Got to see Coleman, Abby Steiner, Jenna Prandini these are 2 of the 4 that beat Jamaica in the Olympics. Also our Dallas Girl. Sha'Carri Richardson ran on one of the relays. I was texting from my phone during the relays so apologies on the spelling and wording. Watching LSU Boys and Texas Women in the 4x100. Texas women ran a freaking 42.00 flat the fastest in the world then the elite 4x100 dropped a 41.87 Records were being set left and right. Arch Bishop Carroll from D.C. for some reason ran kids in both Divisions. Don't think big Privates should have ran against the DI small school races. 4A Gilmer got some horses. I can see them being a handful for 4A in football. Including a 10.4 100m winner who smoked 5A Warren Easton kid for some reason ran with the small schools. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warren Easton is a 4A School and the Easton kid won the 100 meters in 4A. He would have been 6th or 7th in 5A. But, whatever. I think people should know how you roll by now.
