WR Davonte Neal

Quote:
He ran the fastest 200 meters in the country for his age group at the Phoenix Invitational April 5-6, where he blistered the track in 22.74 seconds.
A little more than a week later broke the Kyrene Middle School conference records in 100 meters (10.95), the 200 (22.02) and the 400 (52.02) erasing the 54.12 record he set a year earlier.
His 200-meter time is the best in the country this season for 15- and 16-year-old sprinters. His 100-meter time is the third best in the country and his 400 ranks him ninth in the nation, according to the National Elite Youth Ranking System.

Neal has obviously qualified to join the field in this season's U.S. Track and Field Junior Olympics in Omaha, Neb., but had decided to skip the event this year so he can concentrate on preparing to make the varsity football team at Chavez.
He also plans to attend some football camps at Ohio State University this summer and, "just be a kid," his father said.
