Fastest boy in the country left without track team

The fastest boy in the country is going off to school at a college with no track team.

[@blockededited8280]

I missed the part where he was "left without a track team." Sounds like he chose to attend a university without a men's track team, that has pledged to help him continue in track. This station really needs to have higher standards.

Samething I was thinking 🤔. He picked a school for football that does not have a track team. Track came around and he got more offers and decided to stick with his first pick. "The school with no track team"

[@kujichaguliaself-determina7388]

He chose to attend SMU before his breakout T&F season. SMU can promise to help him all they want, but who will coach him, attend T&F meets with him, pay for travel, etc., not to mention no 4x100m relay team. He should transfer to University of Houston or Baylor after his freshman season because both offer better football teams and competitive T&F teams.

@@kujichaguliaself-determina7388 All he needs at SMU is a good coach with a track and field background that'll be committed to helping him be prepared for track season every year. If he gets that, all he needs to do if focus on the 100m, 200m, and whatever field events he's good at. He doesn't need a relay team.

'The kid' isn't trapped at that school, and could easily switch if he wanted to pursue exclusively track, and he isn't obligated to do so. There's nothing wrong with doing things your way. He made his choice to continue in both sports, and there's nothing wrong with that.

[@theraplawyer]

I bet he transfers. SMU will less relevant in football and track on his own will not work.

[@TheGuyCalledX]

Much more money in football than track. The world championships just happened and virtually no one is talking about it. When I bring it up in competition I get blank stares, and people don't recognize the biggest stars like McLaughlin, Mu, Warholm, Lyles, Kerley. And it's much easier to be one out of 1600 NFL players making on average several million a year, or one out of 5-10 notable track athletes who make a couple million at most from sponsors.

[@CaneFu]

@@TheGuyCalledX WRONG, WRONG, WRONG.... most pro football players don't end up making much as their careers are very short with an average of only 3 years because of injuries. You cannot look at a handful of top football players and point to them for their success because I can also then point out top sprinters like Usain Bolt with a net worth of $90 MILLION. And FYI, the average pro football salary is $860,000 per year, NOT "several million" so quit posting misinformation. Do a little more research and you'll see that most pro football players end up BROKE after they retire from the game. But let's put the money aside for just a minute....the lifetime of disability this kid will likely suffer from knee and shoulder injuries as well as traumatic BRAIN INJURY from football makes track a MUCH better choice just for that reason alone. Not to mention, the likelihood of this kid getting injured in college football before he even gets to the pros is VERY high. Do you have any other misinformation that you want to post?

Someone failed this talented young man with this choice of college that he made, and the decision to continue playing football. At worst, he should attend college just on an academic scholarship and join a well known track team. He could get sponsorships, appearance fees and endorsements, without the chances of getting injured playing football and a lack of having a yearlong track teams support. This move is great for his academic future. But not so much for his track future. I hope that I’m wrong.

USA sprinting is about as fast, young, and competitive as it's ever been, sweeping both the 100 and the 200 at Worlds with 6 different athletes

[@seetruth8775]

10 3 is not impressive I ran track in 2002 and we were running 10.25 or lower South Florida

[@saugabwoy]

How can a school help you continue in t track if they have no track team?🤷🏾‍♂️

[@dariusechols751]

What's with the boy term? They Couldn't say freshmen, graduate, or his name? anything else?

[@Alpha-db4jo]

There is a sophomore in WV who ran a 10.45 into a -0.1 headwind. I think come his Senior, maybe even junior year, he will have the title of fastest highschooler in the Nation.

[@urweird4629]

he competes on my aau team

Hope he does well

[@mattk8810]

Obviously wont with his decision-making skills.

[@redeemedone7457]

Outstanding character and talent

[@CjsJustChilling]

Now why in the world would they call this young man a boy 🤦🏽‍♂️. Shameful.

[@sportsfan4765]

Because he’s a teenager.

[@CjsJustChilling]

@@sportsfan4765 you aren’t the brightest are you?

[@sportsfan4765]

@@CjsJustChilling I obviously understand what you meant.

[@jamess3493]

horrible mentality and biggest mistake of his life. He owes the college nothing and should go wherever he can have the most success.

[@FoxXi3]

The fact that they called him BOY make me feel uncomfortable

[@bowhunter8532]

SMU seriously doesn't have a track team!?

[@Dead_Goat]

They cut it for woke points in gender equity.

[@bowhunter8532]

@@Dead_Goat That is pretty messed up. Texas is a hot bed for track and field. Unfortunate for all the kids who could've went there on scholarship.....

[@PBRstreetgang88]

He got that fast running from the cops, he s probably a drug dealer.

[@deezel3176]

He needs to work on that drive phase though. All that speed and my guy popped straight up out of the blocks and still ran a 10.3!!!! I salute, but he needs some good coaching and he just might be great. I wish him the best and nothing less.

[@israelkeyzer9617]

This kid could be a valuable player for tha packers.

[@milesthekid9830]

He isn’t the fastest in the country tho. That goes to Pleasant who ran a 10.14 this year, wind legal at masters for the California state championships

[@cpy]

I mean, that's not a national championship meet. Nike Outdoor Nationals was. That's like saying for the Olympics they should just give the medal to the best time on paper.

[@henryc1000]

After hearing the word “boy” used over and over I’m still waiting for Jesse Jackson or Benjamin Crump file a lawsuit🤷🏽‍♂️

[@cedrica.9438]

Should drop SMU. I’m confused lol he’s not going to excel in track if he’s not apart of a program.

[@emotionalintelligence776]

The fastest kid in the Country who obviously won't be running in College yea that makes sense.

[@charquiawright5386]

He should go pro like Allison Felix did while attending college.

[@abone2pick]

He's not good enough to be pro yet and even if he was he'd get smoked. Mens 100 is the most competitive event ,can't even compare that to the events Allison was running.

[@A1._.-_-]

He's not ready maam. Felix was making qualifiers at that age and had prior experience with the big boys. Pierre isn't ready yet for that yet.

[@cperkins5050]

He need to be running at least consistent 10.1 or 10.2 at this point to jump to pro level. A 10.36 is great, but it’s just OK at the pro level

[@marlonbeckett8793]

For what NIL now

[@supernewb1000]

He could get a full track scholarship and play football as a walk on. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

[@TexasSausage]

Anybody else kinda weirded out that they kept calling it “boys track team” not “Men’s.” Makes it sound like a middle school race lol

[@TheIcemanthomas]

It’s still called boys in high school

[@hahafalseflag5090]

10.3 at 18 and he's choosing football?

[@kinggadm1234]

I understand going the football route. Hopefully can continue running if football ends

[@jorgequintero2189]

I wish I was that kid father. I’ll tell him to get out of that backwards school.

[@Fucyallfr]

Bro said he hates seeing people in front of him!

[@jeanineruby]

you can always switch colleges - sheez

[@thatguysstuff15]

He can shower in my locker room anytime !!!!!!!!!!

[@SheffKane]

This kid would be a PERFECT fit at University of Oregon.

[@octaviakf]

Sounds like he’s trying to play football

[@Sarnt_T]

Erryon Knighton already has a team.
