    2023 Indoor Season

    Sometimes I wonder if it wouldn't be better for Boling to train for the 400m as he did in high school. In high school he was unbeatable in the 100m, even though he trained for the 400m. Fred Kerley and now Michael Norman, have taken their 400m talents and training and moved down to the 100m...

    2023 Indoor Season

    Samuele Ceccarelli's best 100m time is 10.45. He should improve that a lot this year. And maybe he can make the Italian 4x100 relay team. Meanwhile, I wonder what is happening with Filippo Tortu?

    2023 World Outdoor Season

    Tiaan Whelpton, 10.25 with 0.0 wind. Why do his races always have 0.0 wind?

    2022-'23 NBA Season

    I also heard one of the announcers say that Mac McClung 'saved' the dunk contest. I guess that means that it was lackluster except for McClung.

    2023 Indoor Season

    Very good race for Mary Beth. The winner was a man-ish and muscular woman. Not quite Caster Semenya, but kind of in that direction.

    Brody also finished 3rd in the boys 300m at Millrose. So he has speed endurance, as well as short, explosive speed. If I can find either video, I will post them.

    Atrocious start by Hilton. Reminds me of Christophe Lemaitre, and not in a good way.

    High Schoolers

    Mia Brahe-Pederson, picks up where she left off last year, running a 22.89 in the 200m, which is new National indoor HS record! That puts her ahead of Bianca Knight, Allyson Felix, and Sonya Richards. Incredible! https://www.dyestat.com/gprofile.php?mgroup_id=44531&do=news&news_id=654903

    Pistol Pete Maravich

    Nicola Jokic and Luka Doncic would definitely be on this list now, and very high up. Meanwhile, Maravich was incredible offensive talent. Maybe the best offensive player on this list. Unfortunately he never played on very good teams. And I'm not sure whether he was, or would have been, a...

    Dickie Post of the San Diego Chargers had five 100 yd games in 1969; three in 1968; and 3 in 1967. So 11 x 100 yd games in a 3 year span.

    White RBs and 100-yard games

    Here's a video about Bobby Douglass. There are several others on youtube. Not only was he a great runner, but he had a rocket arm. Kind of like Michael Vick. But even with that talent, he wasn't a great QB. Made a lot of mistakes, and threw a lot of interceptions.

    Coby Hilton 6.51, 10.14 & 20.56

    Coby Hilton did not start this weekend at a meet in Colorado. This was supposed to be his next meet following his WL 6.51 60m race. I hope he's not injured.

    2023 Indoor Season

    Femke Bol set a WR in the 500m today at the New Balance meet in Boston. Keely Hodgkinson set a WR in the 600m about 2 weeks ago. These aren't regularly contested distances, but still a World Record is a World Record!

    2023 Indoor Season

    Whoops! But still very impressive. Let's remember, he's a 400m hurdler, not a sprinter. So #2 in the world is fantastic.
