All these running gifs are taking up so much space there may not be any left for Emma gifs.

Everything was going fine, then his balance gets off a little bit.

He tries to catch his own balls at a full sprint. Never tried it myself, but I figure I'd probably end up landing on them as well.

He is VERY fast

For skill players, depending somewhat on size, anything in the 6.75 (fully automatic timed) range is solid and under 6.6 FAT is outstanding.

Also, he's fairly new to track.

So does this translate to a 4.28, or so, 40? Asking for a friend...

It's pretty good, but probably more like 4.42 - 4.50. In Virginia's 2016 meet he would have been fourth, although the 1 and 2 guys in the finals (6.21 and 6.24) from TC Williams are future Olympians. So keep that in mind.

BTW, 4th at the Virginia state meet in the 55m would be really, really good. It's game-changing speed. :)

2016 6A VA 55m finals

I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was. Now what I'm with isn't it, and what's it seems weird and scary to me.

Those TC twins can fly! Man, high schoolers at that. That is insane. Also surprised to see Grant Holloway finish 3rd in such a quick race... Hes world-class in the 200 +/- hurdles. To even be near those times lets me know Watts is a great athlete though. Fuente wasn't lying when he said the goal was to increase team speed this cycle. Future looks bright and fast!

Mathematically, this equals a 4.273 40-yard sprint although at 2/3 of the race length, he could probably push harder to shave a couple hundredths off.

A decade on TKP and it's been time well spent.

mogwaiaredangerous's picture mogwaiaredangerous | 9 years 4 months # ^

Other way around, at 2/3 the race length a larger proportion is spent accelerating then at full speed, would probably add tenths to his time.

So all things being equal, they're not equal.

Either way, it sounds like we're looking at sub-4.3 forty times

Take the shortest route to the ball and arrive in bad humor.

I'm guessing by your linked Twitter you're related to Bryce (dad maybe)? Either way welcome to TKP and have a leg!

Glad to have you and glad to hear it. I just want to forewarn you since I'm not sure how long you've been reading TKP before joining... You're going to have to tailgate pretty hard to get on jreynolds06's level.

If you play it, they will win.
