Apparently Chris Tyree was the fastest HS in the US

HS Sprint Records

FYI:

55 meters (indoor): 6.08 seconds by Marvin Bracy, William R. Boone High School, Orlando, Florida in 2012

100 meters (outdoor): 10.0 seconds by Trentavis Friday, Cherryville High School, Cherryville, North Carolina at the 2014 USATF Junior Championships

A high school kid in WV ran a 10.50

Thought it was fast and wanted to see how it ranked nationally. Found that a kid in Texas just ran a 9.98. It was slightly wind aided. That is really fast for HS.

Here's a video link to his sprint. It's not the one you'd

expect to run the fastest. It truly is amazing.

He made it look easy and effortless. *

He accepted Ted Ginn's $10k challenge. (link)

Wow, go Strake!

All my buddies growing up were St. Thomas guys and therefore hated Strake, but I'm happy for the guy.

9.98 is crazy fast.

Some serious speed in Houston

Not just White Lightning. I'd guess a few of the kids in the video could be state champs somewhere else.

It’s the largest class in perhaps the best track state - or

at least sprinting state - in America. Just about every kid in that final race is high D-1 caliber.

Just visually, it's incredible how far

ahead the winner pulls during the course of 10 seconds, especially given the caliber of the rest of the guys on the track.

That kid may end up being a great decathlete

His HS performances in the HJ, LJ, 400 and 100 meter are already in the 1000 pt + neighborhood.

He signed with UGA which has a good decathlon program.

His performance in the 4x400 is worth watching

He closed a 2 second gap in the last leg and I believe ran the fastest leg in the country by like a full second

Kind of reminds me of Armando Allen with a mean streak *

I will never not be p***ed at that disallowed TD against UM.

Happened on our own turf. Freaking abomination.

And the 4 PIs on Golden that weren’t called, committed by a mediocre DB who was charged with Armed Robbery a week later. Armed robbery. 18 years old.

Rant over.

For now.

Nit: That game was in Ann Arbor, no? *

You are correct. Weren’t there B1G on the field and in the

Booth? Hence the PI no-calls AND the reversed Armando Allen TD.

Think he got a 15 yarder for shushing crowd too *

Running style similar but Tyree is faster *

Armando ran a 4.31 at a camp. He was fast *

I dont know what he ran at a camp

but on the field at ND he was decidedly not fast. Not slow, but by no means did he run away from tacklers.

Also ran a 4.38 at the US Army AA combine *

Florida state 110 hurdles champion

His initial acceleration was awesome

then it's like he was on a bungee

i dont recall him having great initial acceleration

either. But maybe I've forgotten.

Was that before his devastating ankle injury? *

Worse - broken fibula.

Never seemed to regain the kind of speed he had as a HS Junior.

Regardless, I’m not sure he would’ve ever been the difference maker we expected; as mentioned below, he ran with less power than almost any back I can remember.

He posted a 4.52 at the combine

Armando had a very nice career. But other than against Hawaii, I never saw the breakaway speed he supposedly had.

Armando was lightning for about 20 yards, then

Shoeless Joe maxim kicked in

Looks like he can break more tackles, too.

Or, at least, I hope he can.

I think the broken-tackle-count from Armando’s career still sadly sits at zero.

Probably true. Rankings were very similar *
