White dude dominates sprints at LA state meet

And he is gonna have a hard time getting recruited by colleges.

Good luck, kid.

At the Louisiana state high school meet yesterday, class 4A, a white guy from North Vermillion won state in the open 100, time of 10.47, 110 hurdles in 13.72 (t. third best in nation), 300 hurdles in 37.3 (hitting hurdles too), and then pulled out of the open 200 cause he strained his groin. Almost forgot to mention, he is only a junior.

You must have thought quite highly of him -you didn't even bother to mention his name or link to a site for everyone to review his accomplishments.

What was Mr. White's first name?

Barrett Nugent from North Vermillion. It's actually a 3A school.

Whats sad is that at the state meet, if i read correctly, nobody broke 10:10 for 3200m, and 11:03 scores you a point at the state meet for guys in the 2 mile? ridiculous.

I'm from florida, and this weekend we had a girl who would've just finished second in Louisianna's 3A State meet BOYS 2 mile. She actually probobally would've won with competition in the race.

He's a NUGENT, and from the Deep South.....Great Name, and Great RUNNING!!!

Wishing him all the best...

If all the white dudes are sprinting, who is running the distance events? Ain't many kenyans in Loosiana.

Who knows? Maybe it was tactical...

10.97 gets 5th place in that same classification. Talk about a difference in levels of competition.

Between 3A-5A, 17 people broke 11.00 in the 100, while 8 broke 10 in the 3200. I wonder how many of those sub 11 high schoolers will run in college?

The naggas?

Same reason guys like Andrew Rock went D3.

Is it the same reason Jeremy went to Baylor???

Wariner was a BEAST in high school. Rock was nowhere near as good, but still good enough to get a scholarship to a D1 school. And guess what? He didn't get recruited. I wonder why? He had potential but being white a lot of schools turned away. I bet a lot of schools that were interested in him while he was in high school are sorry now.

Is this what happened to Mitch Potter and Adam Steel?

... and 5:00 placed 7th in the 3a mile. Wow.

Three guys don't make the rule an exception.

You can make the letters bold all you want and it isn't make a difference.

Well, I would assume that Rock being from a rinky-dink town of Stratford and competing in the smallest division didn't help him in HS.

True. Very hard to get recruited as a white sprinter no matter how fast you are. In point of fact, Wariner was not heavily recruited for a kid running 20.6 and 45.6. It's like actually watching ALL of the NFL combines, reading all of the results, and then seeing how many white guys are ignored - by teams and especially by the media.

Was he doping?

Just goes to show you what an A$$ backward state Louisana is. All the blacks had to leave b/c of Katrina.

Don't sit there and rip on LA distance guys. Look at all the stats. There were some nice (4:20) 1600's and one dude ran (9:30) for 3200 and I saw a (1:56) 800 as well.
