Casey Combest Injured in His Comeback Attempt Yesterday we wrote about the comeback of Casey Combest, the American high school record holder in the 60m, who at 27 is making a return to track and field after a long layoff. Combest's comeback is garnering quite a bit of attention (did we mention Combest is a white sprinter?) as according to this thread, PDiddy is financing a possible HBO documentary on his comeback. While published reports said Combest was racing today at Illinois State, he also was racing last night at Southern Illinois. According to a report by Mike Prizy on the t-and-f mailing list archive things did not go well. Combest had a great start but then injured his hamstring and ran 7.27: Event 14 Men 60 Meter Dash =================================================================== Name Year School Prelims H# =================================================================== Preliminaries 1 130 Worsley, Dominique Illinois 6.83q 9 2 208 Bryden, Dwain Lincoln (Mo.) 6.90q 2 3 55 Hewitt, Maurice Untouchables 6.91q 7 4 191 Fisher, Kawayne Lincoln (Mo.) 6.92q 6 5 224 Deloney, Brandon Southern Illinoi 6.93q 4 6 183 Bascoe, Gerald Lincoln (Mo.) 6.94q 9 7 215 Holliday, Justin Memphis Elite TC 6.94q 4 8 136 President, Antwane Unat-Lincoln (Mo 6.97q 9 9 174 Mitchell, Franklyn Lincoln (Mo.) 7.02q 8 10 77 Jackson, Brandon Florrisant Valle 7.03q 1 11 276 Baffour, Tony Unattached 7.05q 3 12 125 Bush, Pierre Illinois 7.06q 8 13 274 Blanks, Kenny Unattached 7.06 3 13 156 Parker, Raymon Unattached 7.06 7 15 218 Greene, Udwuan Memphis Elite TC 7.09 2 16 79 Johnson, Courtney Florrisant Valle 7.10 5 17 263 McKinney, Trenton Southern Illinoi 7.11 6 18 292 Neal, Tyyon Unattached 7.13 5 19 63 Smith, Brion Florrisant Valle 7.16 4 20 142 Mzamo, Elvis Unattached 7.16 10 21 262 Kozak, Justin Southern Illinoi 7.16 4 22 154 Patterson, Darren Unattached 7.17 9 23 65 White, Ike Florrisant Valle 7.18 4 24 148 Holman, Cory Unattached 7.21 2 25 143 Townsend, Andre Unattached 7.25 7 26 282 Combest, Casey Unattached 7.27 3 27 211 Jean-Pierre, McFar Lincoln (Mo.) 7.28 7 28 123 Johnson, Paul Illinois 7.28 8 29 300 Bastian, Rudon Louisville 7.29 5 30 281 Spalding, Shawn Unattached 7.31 5 31 14 Gwashavanhu, Farir Lindenwood 7.33 1 32 216 Neal, Justin Memphis Elite TC 7.42 7 33 176 Brown, Kevin Lincoln (Mo.) 7.43 3 34 74 Abram, Roosevelt Florrisant Valle 7.46 10 35 37 Owen, Matthew Lindenwood 7.49 1 36 6 Castillo, Michael Unat-Austin Peay 7.50 4 37 139 Thompson, Ridge Unattached 7.50 10 38 199 Hamilton, Jarrid Lincoln (Mo.) 7.58 5 39 275 Robinson, James Unattached 7.60 9 40 324 Abston, Marcus Unattached 7.76 9 41 181 Douglas, Joel Unattached 7.97 8
