Have you guys all just forgotten about Erriyon Knighton?

I am as blown away as you guys are by Super Cooper and yes I was screaming at my TV yesterday flipping out when he did what he did but there's been all this talk of "never seen a high school kid ever do anything like this". Guys, didn't Erriyon Knighton run 19.49 while still in high school, which is #6 all time for 200m? I do realize that Knighton was older (12th grade) and Coop just finished 10th grade so they're not really comparable but I think EK deserves some recognition as far as amazing feats of high schoolers go.

Knighton's 19.49 was a little better than Cooper's 800 yesterday, but considering Knighton may have been using PEDs at the time means some people discount that performance.
