Oklahoma High Schooler runs 10.10

[richxx87]

He's now the current high school (and probably World Junior - not sure of BOD) leader, but has anyone ever heard of him? That NWI makes it a bit suspect.

any surprise sprint time (partic. at prep level) that ends in 0 virtually always means hand, but....

With a previous PR of 10.36 it's reasonable he could go 10.10, especially if it was windy(as Oklahoma is known to be occasionally). A shame no wind gauge.

[gh]

Even if windy, looks like Del City has the makings of a pretty decent 4x1.

[richxx87]

aha...
According to WeatherUnderground.com, there were gusts up to 11 meters per second much of the day on May 9.

[gh]

Jack Shepard says the best auto time he can find on Robertson is an nwi 10.62.

And Del City has no 4x1 of note.

He guesses those are hand times.

More on Oklahoma:

<<....Very little in Oklahoma is FAT timed. Some meets in Norman, sometimes a few in Ardmore, and things like the State meet in Tulsa. One year at the State meet they turned a race around to run with the wind, but
forgot to move the FAT camera. So we have a picture of the sprint
start with the camera at the start line and timed the race by hand.....>>

Another OK schoolboy ran 10.16 at a different regional on the same day! Also NWI, but has somewhat better credentials with what appears to be a legal FAT 10.58 at last year's state meet.

NWI - Not Worth Crap (poetic license in use)

[guruof track]

I can never understand why you even bother using electonic timing if you neglect a wind indicator.

Even buying a used system isnt significantly more when buying a wind indicator.

HS times - ya gotta love 'em! :P

NWI is kind of like giving a baseball score without saying who the teams are.
