NYHSFAN33 Posted January 26, 2019 Report Share Posted January 26, 2019 I know nothing about long distance running, but this high school girl from my area is making a lot of headlines.

Lol. Ridiculous athlete. He should give the Javelin a go and try the Decathlon. He’d have some sick points tallied in some events. Anthony Schwartz best 60 is 6.59 I believe so far.

Yeah man what this kid does in track is crazy. I’d like to see what he could do in the 100 and 400 just for shits. he won an indoor 200 this month as well and has the 2nd best collegiate time this year. Might have been his first time in that event as well. Last year he beat the 2016 rio champ Jamaican Omar Mcleod in the 60m hurdles! (Set a new record too) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
954gator Posted January 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2019 @golfaddict1 you have access to flotrack? I'd be interested in knowing where he ranks in all the different events he's taken part of. We used to be able to see like the top 10 in each for free. Sucks I can't stuff up anymore. Those types of results should be free SMH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only time I’ve seen Holloway get beat in the 110h was when Devon Allen edged him out in a photo finish last year at USTAs. Very surprised he didn’t go pro.

954gator Posted March 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2019 @golfaddict1 Grant Holloway came 3/4 inches short of a historic triple at the NCAA indoor championships. Still got the double though. He ended up 3rd in Long Jump with a 26 1, winner was from LSU 26 1 3/4. Anyways Holloway ended up with 27.5 points all by himself and led the Gators to the title. 60mH 7.35 (New American record and 3rd all time world). The kid from UK once again ran a bad ass time of 7.41 (better than Holloways former NCAA record) Crazy race from those two. 60m 6.50 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
954gator Posted March 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2019 Wish we could have seen him run the 200. He has still yet to ever run the 100m also. This kid could legit compete in the 100, 200, and 400 individual events...no doubt in my mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah man him and Roberts ran the two fastest NCAA 60m hurdles times EVER in the same race. Roberts woulda beaten Holloway in any of the past runs save this one. I think they make each other run faster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
