he still slow and fat
Could a distance runner become a sprinter. Or vice versa? And could this guy be the next Jim Browne. So finesseful matching strength athleticism and technique. The mace windu of football. Speaking of the goat football talk and Tom Brady there was that young big fat guy out of the south who was quick and sacked Brady like five times. They both are young, they should lose weight, do cross fit and endurance sports and become a running back, maybe medium length receiver. More lateral passes please!
Different skill set and development than say basketball players, 400m or decathlete type athletics etc.
He looks pretty slow, exactly how I envisioned a lineman running a 100 would look. He blew a fairly big lead. Let me guess: the coach asked you to post this to generate even more attention for the kid.
They need to try him out in the shot put. Size plus explosive speed could make for a 70+ performer.
Guy looks like he'd beat my behind. Be like running from a Grizzly bear, and he is gaining.
He's only a sophomore, how is he a commit already? Guess I didn't realize you could do that.
This is a disgraceful example of fat shaming. The poor kid who you are trying to make a laughing stock out of should think about suing you
That's great for him! However in my state the team would be DQ'd for having all those guys running beside them on the infield.
he's disgusting
Who's managing that track meet, the Three Stooges?
And why does the coach tweet that the other team cheated?
Wow, he really moves. His power must be incredible.
In high school there was one relay meet each year that had a weightman's 4x100. It was fun to watch, plus the throwers loved doing it each year.

I'm not that impressed. The kid is impressive for his age, but not for his size IMO. Hopefully he can grow into some more strength.
What the hell is the "Laboratory School" it says he goes to?
for everyone confused about the infield and tweet it looks like it was a throwers relay. plenty of meets have them and they are usually not scored sometimes not timed and just something for fun. the competitors teammates probably were pretty excited to see their throwers run and the coach was probably joking that the other teams had some smaller faster athletes that didn't fit the mold of a typical thrower.
don't sleep on the speed of big guys who play football, we had some 11 high 100m runners messing around with our throwers so the throwers hoped in their workout and blew their doors off in 60s and 50s
The dude lost the lead and blew the win for his team...are we supposed to be impressed with that?

Aw c'mon, he won his weight class.
This team is in my region and they won state last year... Wtf are they doing with a 330 pound anchor? They have plenty of athletes to choose from!

Dang it, I posted this over a day ago as a "Fat Man Relay" and got to replies and buried deep in the message board.
It brought back great memories of high school track dual meets where we distance runners would challenge the field guys to run the last event of the meet as a 4x440, often just after we finished the 2 mile. We would actually do this as part of the meet's last event, as I recall.
It was always hysterical because even if they were fast they would fall apart the last 100 of each leg.
It was also fun because we had to every time convince them to field a team, like Lucy talking Charlie Brown into kicking the football (excuse my dated references). They weren't the brightest bulbs on the team, so we would drop casual comments before the meet about how well they were running their sprints in practice and build up to a challenge.
They never won of course.
We called it the Fat Man Relay, this is prob not politically correct.
