Great effort in Class C Boys High Jump. Carter Nelson, Ainsworth and Landon Olson, Battle Creek both go 6’10” today. Nelson wins on less misses.

Great effort!

How about the Class A 100 meters:
1, Jaylen Lloyd, Omaha Central, 10.54. 2, Malachi Coleman, Lincoln East, 10.58. 3, Vince Genatone, North Platte, 10.63. Those kids were flying.

Were those times wind-aided?

Impressive, nonetheless.

I think Eric Crouch and Ahman Green's best times were 10.4.

I know there were some wind aided from the state track meet that weren't allowed to beat records but not sure any of these times were deemed wind aided

FYI- Those 3 ran in the same district. Their times that day were 10.43, 10.46 and 10.50. Same order of finish.

The Crouch Swiney times in 97 look really slow. Guessing there was wind against them. Crouch ran 10.82 in qualifying (swiney 10.84) and then Swiney won with a 10.78 to Crouch's 10.96.

It was wet if I remember correctly.
What we’re forgetting is these guys get faster in college.

As an example: BJ Lawerence from Northwest ran a 11.03 as a Junior in 2006. In 2007 BJ ran a 10.78. As a senior in college, BJ ran a 10.12. 12th fastest time in the world that year.

Weren't they comparing HS times? There is lots of "forgetting" in this thread.

Some get a lot faster. Others do not. I think that's why the good programs stay away from kids with an injury history or guys who haven't gotten a lot better since their sophomore year.
