Why Quadry Ismail on your list and no Rocket? The dude was a great track athlete.
Anyway, OP, I would guess 90% of all pro football players competed in track at some point in their lives. From sprints to jumps to throws. It should not be hard to come up with names but kids these days are LAZY. It will be hard to convince those little buggers to run because its hard and it takes balls.
The best way to sell it: "there are hot girls on track and the meets are a huge meet market and you can see and meet tons of hotties at meets." That will make them show up, seriously! I used that line and doubled my number of sprinters at a high school in Richmond.[/quot
Their senior year, the Rocket won the state championship in 100 and 200, Qadry won the 110 hurdles and 300 hurdles, and they won the 4x100 and 4x400 relays. They held all the sprint, hurdle and jump (long and triple) records in the district, many of which still stand I believe.
