Since I've talked about him a few other times on this thread...
FL NTC All-Comers : 2008 Outdoor : Southeast Region | DyeStat.com

South Lakes FL sr Jeff Demps, less than a week after his 2nd legal sub-10:20 of the year (10.19 at Pre last Sunday), ran a 10.03w (+2.2) prelim at The National Training Center Sprint/Hurdle Open, a USATF-sanctioned meet in Clermont (near Orlando) FL.
The High School record for 100 meters, according to Jack Shepard's High School Track, is J-Mee Samuels' 10.08 from 2005. The fastest wind-aided time list is 9.8 by Michael Taylor LA from 1983, which, using the commonly-accepted 0.24 hand-to-auto conversion, is equal to 10.04. Samuels is #2 on the windy list with 10.05, making Demps' mark the fastest auto-timed mark, whether you accept the "conversions" or not.

WOW. Would have been a high school national record but the wind was barely over the acceptable reading (was +2.2m/s, allowable is +2.0). |

Something tells me that Trindon Holliday better start watching his ass, and not just because donkey theft is at an all-time high.

The big question is how will his straight-line speed translate to football speed. Many programs have had very fast track athletes that don't pan out on the football field but there are those special athletes that have the ability to excel in both sports. BTW, I'm not making any assumptions regarding Demps because 1) I haven't seen his football videos and 2) I'm not an evaluator of football talent besides "He's a great player"... he obviously has talent otherwise Florida wouldn't have given him an offer. |
