4x100m 6A Men forward to 2:35 mark

I'm a huge fan of track and field in general but this year we had multiple schools running in the 39s range for the 4x100m 6A men. Earlier in the year Atascocita 38.92 shattered the long standing record from of Forth Worth Wyatt 39.76 in 1997.

I know that Jelani Watkins, Atascocita and Caden Durham, Duncanville are both going to be LSU Tigers in the fall and just wanted to congratulate you guys on having some burners in track and football for the upcoming year.

Yep. Texas high school track and field has always had some of the top times going back to the 1980's when I was in high school.

I remember when a kid, Roy Martin, ran a blazing 10.13 100m dash in the mid 80's. That was mind blowing back then.

They are so fast as long as they get the handoffs through they will not lose to anyone.

Got DANG.

Could be wrong, but it seemed like the lead off guy was the weak link. If he gets a leg like the other dudes, they might break 39.0.

Fellow track & field nerd here. That’s insane. I coached HS track back in the early 2000s. A 42-43 usually wins state in the top division. Alabama HS state record is 40:74.

Thanks for posting. We've had some of those guys over the years, but it doesn't always translate to the football field. I guess we'll see.

6A finals were insane. Katy Tompkins ran 39.85 and didn’t make the podium. CRAZY!!!

Duncanville handoff to final leg was a bit slow. End would have been closer.
