He has a better shot of becoming famous and somebody by picking a different career with less pressure like a zoologist.
You mean the woman who won a bronze medal at the Olympics? Girl, get outta here.

Most people don't get just how many NFLers were HS/NCAA tracksters. Try TONS, hurdlers, long jumpers, weight men, sprinters, decatletes,
Don’t forget Robert Griffin III - the man made the final in the Olympic Trials in the 400 hurdles.
Also, RG3 placed 3rd in 2008 NCAA 400H. He had graduated HS early and would have been a senior in HS at the time.

Are you kidding, the zoologists are going nuts atm with all the genome sequencing proving them wrong.
Probably a good chance for a young up-and-coming zoologist, what with all the suicides among the old guard. But definitely not low-pressure

he's very good but not as good. it's the difference between 44-or 45-low splits and being unbeatable, an olympian, and a threat to pros, like one of the best HS kids ever, and being like 45 or 46 and coming back to the best of a normal HS year. which is beatable.

Sounds like the football player ups his game for relays, while Wilson is becoming known for the opposite.

Clearly it’s time for him to move up to the 800.

Way too much is being put into that ............ONE...............race, come on rookies you should know better.
It's 1952 Manhattens Lindy Remigino takes 5th in the NCAA 100,
Later in the season.....Remigino out leans Jamaican Herb McKenley to win the Olympic 100m.
I can go on and on and on....
Allan Woodring was just an alternate he'd only compete if somebody got hurt or sick, guess what?
Charles Paddock had already won the 100m yep....WORLDS FASTEST HUMAN. guess who wins that 1920 Olympic 200m, the WORLDS FASTEST HUMAN or the sub?
Slow down gives things some time,

Why are we acting like this kid is a football player who was just convinced to run his first track meet and thrown into the 4x4?
He ran 45.76 in the open 400 last year; he is a defending state champ in the 400; he has track results from a range of events dating back to when he was a second grader.
Nobody said he was a bum. But he destroyed a guy who is advertised as the best thing ever in HS 400 and has a gold medal. Its crazy. mano a mano he took him out easy.
But a 4x4 is, by definition not mano y mano… in the open 400, which is head to head he trounced this guy by a good margin.

I'm pretty sure they still run relays one person at a time.
Do your 4x4 teammates have the opportunity to push and shove your opponents while you run? No.
They were running mano a mano.
And one mano lost.
