Aldrich Bailey runs 45.18 to break Jeremy Warner's record

[E-Vol-ution]

The National record is held by Darrell Robinson 44.69...

A quote from Bailey.. "I'm just a kid trying to run grown men times"

That's not an official time due to it being handheld.
Handheld = pushing the button when the line is about to be crossed
Handheld = pushing the button as the line is crossed
handheld = pushing the button after the line is crossed

See? That's three different times by a guy who most likely doesn't play video games well.

Being a former 1/4 miler, I would love to see video of that race. What
A great talent this kid has. Could end up being the greatest 1/4 miler in history. Will be a thrill to watch this youngster develop ! Wow 45.18, that's just SILLY speed ! ! ! !

I would love to see a video of it to. That is unbelievably fast for a HS kid!

After watching this clip, seeing him in London this summer doesn't seem that far fetched. The ease in which he ran this time gave me goose bumps and with NO competition pushing him...

Oh my. He smoked the field and that is not something you see too often in Regional Finals. I can't wait to see him run in person at the State Meet.

Amazing!
Thanks for posting link.

And to think that two other kids ran under 48 in that race while in the other 3 regions combined only two more kids ran under 48. That puts it into perspective just how fast this young man is!

[trainin' the game]

so who wins it all next week?!?

Mile Relay. Timberview behind at 8 places & Bailey gets stick and runs a 45.48 and starts passing the field for a 3rd place finish behind winner Duncanville and Converse Judson. Bailey is special and can flat out get after it. Remember that name for Olympics. Awesome athlete.

Saw Abraham Hall blazed a 10.19 to win the 100M...

We could see 2 Texas kids make news at the OT's new month

[theartfuldodger]

He and Mansfield Legacy's Shelby Vaughan will compete at the Olympic Trials in Eugene next month. It's been a huge year for Mansfield ISD athletics.

tell me about it

This weekend's results from the USATF Junior Championships. This meet is typically dominated by first year college athletes (up to 19 years old). With six guys running sub-47, a 0.4 margin of victory if pretty dominate in my book!

Men 400 Meter Dash
Finals
1 Bailey, Aldrich Dallas Gold TC 45.37
2 Hall, Arman Unattached 45.77
3 Okezie, Chidi Unattached 46.55
4 Downing, Quincy Lsu 46.68
5 Chambers, Marcus Seatown Expr 46.98
6 Newton, Michael The Heat Track Club 46.99
7 Page II, Champ Track Expres 47.40
8 Washington III, Philip Michigan 47.59

Another Texas High schooler who completely dominated their event was Shelbi Vaughan, from Mansfield Legacy. Folks, that 60.59 meter mark equates to 198 feet 9 inches!!, which broke the 17 year old American Junior mark held by women's discus legend, Suzy Powell, by 8+ feet. Last I heard, Shelbi had committed to A&M.

Women Discus Throw
Finals
1 Vaughan, Shelbi Mansfield Hi 60.59mM
2 Collatz, Alex U S C 52.18m
3 Ewen, Magdalyn Unattached 52.12m

Lot of truth in this mornings article in the Star-Telegram.. USA track does need some new hero's, but when you have to search the web to find results, it's hard to create a new generation of fans
