Setting the stadium record and coming within 3/100ths of a second of the regional record in the 300 is pretty impressive for any basketball player running track, but especially as a sophomore. For comparison, Brian Hartline won his regional with times of 14.07 in the 110 and 36.97 in the 300. Hartline pretty much smoked everyone else in his regional, though....
