Too bad the wind was slightly too strong. Kid still burned that track up at Austin with a 10.08. I dont care if there was a little wind as his back.


Texas UIL State Track Meet:

AUSTIN (June 6, 2009)--Killeen Ellison junior Prezel Hardy ran the fastest 100 meters ever by an American male high school athlete on Saturday. However, due to high wind readings, his national record will not count.

In the Class 5A 100 meter final, Hardy blistered the track in 10.08 seconds. Henry Neal of Greenville (Texas) held the previous state and national records with a time of 10.15 seconds from 1990.

The wind rating of 2.2 at the time of Hardy's race on Saturday is too high for any record to stand. Therefore, Neal's 1990 mark will remain as the national record.

Yeah I was looking at that and thought why he didn't get the national record? I see now.

The national record is from Jeff Demps at 10.01. The 10.08 still would have tied for second place if it were not wind aided.Yeah I was looking at that and thought why he didn't get the national record? I see now.

I thought Demps had ran faster in the trials last year.

June 28, 2008 Olympic trials time of 10.01 but didn't win the race. Tyson Gay won it in 9.77 but he was in college.I thought Demps had ran faster in the trials last year.

Man, I remember watching Henry Neal run in 1990. They came to a meet at Lake Highlands and that dude was absolutely amazing.

Anyone know whatever happened to him?

Funny thing was, he had a slow start. 1st. 6 meters he was in 3rd. or 4th. The false start previously due to faulty blocks kept a few leaning back in their blocks to not jump the gun. Without the wind he would have probly clocked 10.14+. But we'll see what he does next year. The kid that finished 2nd. in the 100 and 200 is going to be wearing burnt orange next year and smoking the DB's of the big 12...;)
