I strongly suspect this kid is on hgh and non steroids peds.
I lived for 10 years in Houston and was involved in the track and field scene there.. Ped use among hs athletes who want to get scholarships is the norm. Even among Lower level athletes who want to max out
His times are so freakish coming from only a sub 54 sec 400 freshman and he had been running track for years before high school combined with him coming from a gene pool better suited for endurance and strength events, all this raises suspicion of Ped use. If he were running 49 as a freshman I might believe this is natural. But my cynical upfront knowledge of how far sports parents will cheat in Houston to get their kids ahead is pervasive. One proof is that he was held back one year by his parents.
Watch him next year under ncaa testing.
Most hs stars fade in college bc they can't use peds anymore.
Sorry.
I'm sad to say I agree. I remember a rival high school of mine had a few white football players who dominated the sprints. Rumor was all were on the juice and excelled for both sports.
There was another Matt back in the 2000s who won the 100 and 200 in California, year 2003. I believe his name was Matthew Bruno and he ran against Reggie bush, and Alyson Felix also competed in the state meet that year. Bruno was one swole kid. Rumors had it he was on the juice, but it could also be due to the fact the black kids were angry and jealous a white boy was dusting them on the track. And as you said about hs stars fading in college, Bruno never surpassed his high school best marks at UCLA.
