Freshman runs 33.7 in the 300m. Future Olympian?

If it's high school, I'd say 9th grader.

Freshman makes me think college.

Well the winner of the VA Showcase ran 32.7 so no, not impressive enough to be future Olympian. More likely a 48 second 400 meter runner.

The best high schooler at the VA showcase was a senior running 34.8. This FRESHMAN ran more than a second faster without competition, wand after barely training.

Thank you for the correction, but I still believe in this kids talent, and he’s still one of the best high schoolers in the country with very little training and race experience. He’s 33rd all time in his first race, and he’s still growing and will continue to get faster with his training getting more serious and his body developing

Went on just in time racing, saw the results of the freshman 300m race. St Anthony’s freshman runs 33.7. I decided to go back to the 2019 winter track season and he’d be tied for 3rd place in the whole country for high schoolers and he’d be 15th for college runners. For more comparable michael Norman ran 33.6 as a junior! If this time is legit we have maybe the greatest prodigy in American track history.

It sort of depends on if he is 14,15, or 16... As far as greatest prodigies, look up Obee Moore with his 45.14 as a sophomore. This kids needs to (and might) improve a bit to hit that level.

Nobody runs the 300. The kid who ran the 33.98 has PRs of 21.85 and 48.08. That is about what your guy can run right now. Those are solid times but the 400 would rank only 150th in a typical year.

33.7 F.A.T. 300m with a sub-10.3 F.A.T. 100m or 33.7 F.A.T. 300m with a sub-1:50 800m? Does the lad have an outstanding 100m or an outstanding 800m?

Does this mystery freshman have a name?

I agree but 48 as a freshman is still really fast especially for January. But note how Tyrese Cooper ran 45.23 as a 9th grader and hasn't gotten faster. Most people mature in that 15-20 year range and depending on prior training, you can run fast at an early age if you are one of the ones at the early end.
