Is there a ranked white triple jumper as I have never seen a nationally ranked white jumper in my life, eventhough most of the foreign jumpers are white........

As of right now, all of the top 10 for 2006 are black.

John Biacofsky is ranked #1 on the NCAA Division III list for the 100 meters.
His time is 10.27, better than all the Div I guys listed above.
Also Louis Corominas is similarly ranked #1 for Div III in the 400 meters - 47.04
Div II sprinter Joel Duffield has the #3 ranking with a time of 46.79.

Does anyone have a picture of John?I would like to see what this kid looks like.It's too bad he got stuck running for a small school but he can still make a career of sprinting if he can improve a little more.At this point,he needs some better coaches to probably help him get over the hump.That last 3/10ths of a second to get down to a sub 10 is very hard to achieve.Many have come so close but failed.Good luck to him the rest of the year.

 

[Don Wassall]

Couldn't find any of him running

 

[white is right]

I suspect he was a late bloomer or he would have gotten a D1 scholarship. Maybe he has alot of upside and can get down to 10 flat in a season or two... Rock is the patron saint of DIII late bloomers......

Mount Union has one of the best football programs in the country! at any level, they are the most winning program over the last several years.

they are almost always all white, and have even produced one of the best corners i've ever watched play: Chris Kern. he got to smell the NFL for a couple of weeks in Detroit as a rookie free agent, i guess before they realized he wasn't a light skinned brother and sent him packing.

now they've got a standout in track as well, awesome!it's nice to see them giving opportunities to our young men, even if it is at the DIII level.

Matt Scherer ran a 45.90 in Oregon today.
That puts him in the top 10 collegiates this year.
