Wariner easily won the 200m at the Drake Relays. Kudos go to Jared, who was 3rd despite running the 4x100m relay just before running the 200m. The two white college guys held their own against the pros. Darn wind screwed up the times. Event 70Men 200 Meter Dash Special...

Here's the ironic part, how does Kiper keep his job? It would be interesting to go back and review all of Mel's top picks and see where they are now. In most jobs, people are judged on their ability, yet Kiper does a crappy job of judging talent and keeps his job.

Unfortunately, when it comes to breaking down the caste system, we have to think in increments. Last year we had Matt Jones, who had a good rookie season. Next year he must break out. This year, Hass and Anderson need to get on the field and be productive. Next year, Samardzija needs to go...

Yes, I laughed when I saw that too. I saw an article in one of the papers about him. He said that he was running his 40's in the 4.38 sec range.

Ronalds is having a good year. He is a foreign exchange student from Latvia. I think that he has run as fast as 10.38 and has a number of times under 10.50. I have been following the Texas HS track season, but I was going to wait to post until the state meet. Here are some notable...

Next weekend's Drake Relays will have some very interesting races. The one I am looking forward to is the 200m Inv. Here is the list of participants: Event 102 Men 200 Meter Dash Special ======================================================== Saturday 4/29/2006 - 3:50 PM...

Way to go Aaron! I also see that Domenik Peterson was third with a 46.11. He is also having a great season.

Good job Domenik! That should put him in the top 10 nationally. We have Jared Connaughton, Travis Picou, and Domenik all in the top 10. Wow!!

I agree, with the exception of James Lofton. He was a guy who was considered fast since he was a 4 time track All American in college. Lofton is still tearing it up as one of the top ranked Masters Track athletes in his age division.Edited by: SteveB

Bill O'Reilly has been beating the illegal immigration drum hard for the last 2 or 3 years too, but Dobbs has more style than O'Reilly. You would think that the politicians would be listening, since these men in the media have influence over the public.

I wonder what their assessment of Jerry Rice (4.6 speed) and Anquan Bolden (4.7 speed) would be.

There are some new names on the rankings list. After a strong start, some of the guys from the original list have slipped a bit. 4/12/06 Rankings: 100m - 11. Trey Hardee, Texas, 10.35; 21. Trey Griffin, Texas, 10.42; 24. Daniel Varnado, SE Louisiana, 10.45; 30. Domenik Peterson, Az...

I wonder if anyone will compare him to a bigger version of Reggie Bush? Probably not.

I attended the Maroon and White Spring game today. One thing about a spring game is you get to see alot of the walk-ons and backups play (which are alot of white kids). The White team (fitting name) won and had 4 white skill players starting on offense and 2 white players in the defensive...

All of the times in the 100m were slow. The winds down here are really blowing right now and I think the athletes are dealing with cross/swirling type winds in the stadium. It doesn't look good for Griffin as the weather forecast is for a 20mph North wind today. Edited by: SteveB

Now the Longhorn sport site is reporting the Hardee really ran a 10.35 in the 100m and has in fact broke the collegiate record. http://www.texassports.com/index.php?s=&url_channel_id=22&ur l_article_id=3895&url_subchannel_id=&change_well_id=2 Maybe he had a little homefield advantage...

Hardee dominates the field, sets a new personal record, and misses the collegiate record by only ONE POINT! He must have been tired going into the 1500m since he ran it more than 20 sec slower than his PB. 110H - 13.83 sec, 1st Discus - 158'3", 1st Pole Vault - 17'0.25", 1st Javelin -...

Trey Hardee is running away with the Decathalon. Check out his first day events: 100m - 10.36 sec, 1st (collegiate Decathalon record) LJ - 25'3.25", 1st SP - 47'5", 1st HJ - 6'6.25", 4th 400m - 49.11 sec, 1st 4399 points The guy is a stud. He is on track to smash his PB of 8041...

It seems that there is some inconsistencies in the timing at the USC Pro Day. Makes you wonder if there is some foul play going on: http://www.dailynews.com/sports/ci_3673241 Tailback Reggie Bush and safety Darnell Bing drew cheers for their 40-yard dash times during Sunday's Pro Day...

If he can run that time this weekend, it would rank as the third best time in the nation at the college level. I hope he pulls it off.

Here's a good article on University of Washington sprinter Jordan Boase. Just goes to show what some natural talent combined with determination and belief can accomplish. http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/collegesports/20029111 71_colleges05.html State Colleges Report: UW sprinter...

Lee Humphrey was the second leading scorer for Florida with 15 points in the national championship game. He also, was playing tough defense on Farmar all night. Good job Lee.

I agree. He should have tried to run because if he can't get in the 4.3 range, he is toast. He has too many strikes against him (he hasn't played in 2 years, has very little WR experience, and is small).Edited by: SteveB

Well, here how I see it. I know that in high school, Bush was a 10.6-10.7 100 meter sprinter. Based on past times, that would indicate a 4.4-4.5 second 40 time. I can't really say one way or another since I wasn't there, but yes, I am skeptical. Maybe he got faster in college, but I am not...

This was posted on NFL.com: Finding the skier Former Colorado wide receiver Jeremy Bloom, who gained fame for competing as an Olympic skier, worked out April 1 with Velocity Sports Performance. The workouts took place at El Camino College. As expected, Bloom did not run his 40s, and he also...
