Could’ve gave 39.78 a scare if the anchor hadn’t gone so early. Still amazing time though Edit: 39.76*

[@spinninforbax4156]

Tbh they wasn't going 39.7 anything. But they could of went faster than 39.98

[@cabralwilliams9812]

Obviously there is no way to know for sure, but I agree that they could have given 39.78 a scare. At the paces they were going, 0.2 seconds is around 2 meters - about 6.5 feet. It certainly seems realistic to me that they lost 6.5 feet or more with the anchor taking off too early.

[@spinninforbax4156]

@@cabralwilliams9812 no they wasn't. 2018 39.80 was a actual scare. 39.98 is not. Qith a better handoff ot would of been 39.90. Or 39.89

[@cabralwilliams9812]

@@spinninforbax4156 First of all, whether a time constitutes a 'scare' of the 39.78 is completely subjective. One viewer is free to consider this 39.98 performance a scare of 39.78. There is no textbook definition of what it means to scare 39.78. Secondly, neither I nor the original poster claimed that this performance was a scare of 39.78. What the original poster said, and what I agreed with, was that had the anchor not gone early, the team could have given the 39.78 time a scare. Could they have gotten within 0.1 of the record? Maybe. Could they have gotten within 0.01 of the record? Maybe. Could they have beaten the record? Maybe. We will never know because the anchor took off too early. That's why I said 'Obviously there is no way to know for sure, but I agree that the could have given 39.78 a scare.' There is no certainty implied in anything that I said.

[@spinninforbax4156]

@@cabralwilliams9812 didn't read that. Us in Texas know 39.98 not a scare to a 39.76... lol

[@dominantdaddy6939]

That is a competitor. Anchor knew he F’d up. Win is a win is a win, but when you know you likely cost your team tenths of a second it can get to you. We all mistakes. He’ll remember this. Excellent race overall.

[@tjmckenzie4048]

Thank you!!! I was going to say the exact same thing. For a guy who left way too early, he did kind of keep his composure and never gave up. So many kids panic and end up giving up on the whole race. Amazing time for a pretty bad 3rd exchange.

I must say it was a great race as always the crowd wait on 6A to run relays, but if you look at the video Duncanville anchor leg got out to soon, but the coaches choose not to contest the race.

[@tjmckenzie4048]

He did go out too soon, but he definitely got the baton before the end of the zone. No reason to contest the race.

@@tjmckenzie4048 Exactly, as long as the exchange is done in the zone it doesn't matter when the anchor started running. It did cost them some time though

[@Jwalkin2]

@@dwightanderson8331 its just one state meet. all classes run at the meet. there is separation in classes because of the number of kids that attend each school. dville has over 4k students. some years its closer to 5k. it is a MASSIVE school. there are over 3200 public and private schools in the state, and their enrollment varies from less than 50 kids to over 5k kids. not fair for lil schools to compete against bigger schools. there are actual football teams whose rosters are larger than some schools total population.
