Again.. track speeds have to do with quick starts from the blocks. It has to do with weather and conditions.

Edit to add: people run different on grass, on concrete, on rubber, indoors, and outdoors. Some athletes have surfaces that they perform better relative to their peers than other surfaces.

Do you disagree?

You seem to be proposing that some or all of those factors have worked to allow Carter to run a faster top end speed than all of the other track guys on our team. I'm saying that those factors are not to enough to outweigh the track speed differences that are obvious here. And it's mathematically unlikely that Lorenzo gains a significant enough advantage from any particular set of conditions to overcome those differences vs an entire group of much faster runners. But if he does have a faster top end than Mecole and company, his 40 at the combine will probably suck.
