I may have missed it but has anyone mentioned that Dallas Burroughs of Rocky Mountain, Idaho, was Idaho's 5A state champion in the 100 and 200 in wind-legal times of 10.34 and 21.06, which ranks him #6 nationally in the 100 and #10 in the 200. These are spectacular times anywhere in the nation but especially in Idaho, which has had a cold spring. I can't imagine what times he'd be running in a warmer clime. Other than Joe Fisher of Kansas, are there any other white high school sprinters who can run with Burroughs? Burroughs is a wide receiver in football. Despite his blazing speed, great hands, and many breakaway TDs, he had exactly one football offer--from Boise State.
Dallas Burroughs' time of 10.34 in the 100-meters is actually
the fastest wind-legal time in the nation this year
according to athletic.net's rankings.
coming inright behindBurroughs with a time of 10.35 in the 100, Joe Fisher is tied for the second-fastest wind-legal time in the USA. that is awesome news!

if i'm not mistaken, John Patrone's 10.58 is the fastest 100-meters in the state of Tennessee this year.

earlier (possibly in another thread), i had mentioned that just 5 runners in the state of Arkansas dipped under 11 seconds in the 100 this year. i was mistaken, as 10 runners ran sub-11. there were four 10.8s andthree10.9s. (most of which i missed). i was correct, though, in that the fastest time of the year was only a 10.71. that being said, sophomore Ethan Bly of Heber Springs looked to be the top White sprinter this year, narrowly missing a sub-11 100 (11.01) while also finishing in the top-10 in the state in the 200 (22.27) and the 400 (a non-spectacular 50.10). like i said, it was a slow year in Arkansas sprinting.
one name i didn't mention was Chance Tanner of Waldron High School. he posted the state's second-fastest 200-meters (21.66, a mere .01 off the top mark) and the third-fastest 400 (48.63). unfortunately, Chance was a senior, and i don't know if he'll be running in college.
