Who are some of the fastest sprinters you have ever seen?


Recommended Posts

I saw Marlon Ramsey of West Brook set a national record in the 400M at the state meet.  It has since been broken, but it still is the state record.  He ran a 45.36.  It was an awesome experience to see that live.  He was suppose to run in the 200M finals later that night, but he did not have anything left and had to drop out.

I saw three state records set at that 1994 state meet.  Ramsey in the 400M, West Brook mile relay and Jacob Davis of OF in the pole vault.  He vaulted 17-6 that year, but that was broken by Eric Eshbach in 1999 at 18-2 1/4.

Joe DeLoach, Bay City.  Saw him set 200m national record on a Friday night, 1985.  Roy Martin, 5a Dallas, broke the record the next day.

Same night, saw Jasper's Tony Allen make a near run at the national record in the 400m.

1991, saw Jasper's Brian Bronson and group set new national record in the 400m relay at 39.9 hand held time (40.07 automatic).

    • I have no issue with that however…. Rick Perry, although seemingly not really popular even with Republicans, was almost impossible to beat. The Texas conservatives just needed that tough, real conservative with an already popular voting base. Someone that has been elected to both Texas state office and federal office.  Boom! In 2010 in steps Kay Bailey Hutchison, a popular sitting US Senator and former Texas Treasurer. So she has been elected, statewide in both a state political position and nationally as a senator. A Rasmussen poll in 2009 showed Hutchison with a 40% to 38% lead over Perry. She had high profile endorsements as did Perry. Hutchison was endorsed by the likes of G H W Bush, Nolan Ryan, Roger Staubach, etc. If people are actually going to listen to endorsements, those are some fairly well thought of people in Texas. Primary day was between Perry, Hutchison and Debra Medina. Hutchison was beaten by Perry 51% to 30% and he got enough votes to avoid a runoff. Obviously, that has no bearing on today. It does show that just because a person is very popular and already elected to national office from Texas such as Kay Bailey Hutchison, it does not ensure a good showing in the polls against an incumbent. It will be interesting for sure. 
    • WOW what a game. just got home, I'm gonna sleep with a big smile all night. PNG QB passes were spot on tonight, lil #17 freshman receiver had huge catches at critical times in the game. # 44 had a couple of huge catches including the 'jump pass' on 4th down for a touchdown.  #4 made big plays at key times on both sides of the ball, he is a beast. #11 played his usual consistent game with big time catches and a couple of good punts and a good job of just falling on a bobbled kick reception. #27 probably had 125 yards or so rushing. The defensive backs did a good job, bending but not breaking including the interception in the end zone. I thought the TH coaches messed up not trying to score with the high power players they have when they got the fumble right before half with 45 seconds or so on the clock and 3 TO left, if they would have scored then it would have broke our backs. I know it was 90 yards to go but they could cover the field in 3 or 4 plays. This is one of the most exciting wins in PNG's long history of exciting wins. Oh yeah kudos to the fans for getting in to the game at key times and in my Opinion making a big difference. 😂
    • To the 41 individuals that picked TH…..🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Round 4 here we come!
