High School Track 2023

6 foot 6 inch 245 lb Nyckoles Harbor went 6.66 in the boys 60 meter dash

Apparently he is determined to run in college, along with football. I sure wish that would happen, but once the NIL$$$ starts rolling in, I think track will be an unnecessary distraction.

In the same venue that saw a women's national 60 meter hurdle collegiate record go down to Masai Russel of the University of Kentucky at the Texas Tech Red Raider Open, IMHO the performance of the day happened later that evening when 6 foot 6 inch 245 lb Nyckoles Harbor went 6.66 in the boys 60 meter dash at the Texas Tech Under Armour High Schol Classic and wait for it, in the prelims, and even more impressive in heat 32 of 39!

Don't know if this young man can repeat or better his performance in the finals because he is running the 200 meter prelims in the morning in heat 68 of 68.

Correction - he was listed in that video as 6'5" and 225. Still wicked fast for that size.

Nyckoles Harbor committed to South Carolina, wants to play tight end instead of DE to keep his weight down for track (or so he says)

I was very busy today but thought I saw a commitment to USC from Harbor.

Perhaps you are joking, but for people in Columbia South Carolina he DID commit to USC.

Meanwhile, Roderick Pleasant, featured on the home page as the top returning HS 100m talent, signed with the Oregon Ducks, also to best continue track & field along with football.

To people there, they are either Cocks or Carolina.

I wasn't joking. When I saw a headline indicating he committed to USC my thought was the school in California. I only looked again now because of your post and realize it is South Carolina which, to me, isn't USC.

There was a big legal fight between the two schools re: the use of "USC" and their respective logos. So it *is* a big deal to both schools.

A note re: Pleasant's commitment to the Ducks - I know their coaching situation was in a bit of a state of flux, has that been resolved?

The word is that Pleasant wanted to go to USC, but his family insisted on taking Phil's bag of money. I didn't see it, but I've read that he did not look happy making the announcement.

Sour grapes?

I saw the video and he looked quite happy. Certainly his family was. And what is wrong with that.

NIL - Grab the money and run!!
