You're gonna need a bigger box.
Props to cantthinkofanything for telling me about this kid 3 years ago. You know what you're talking about when it comes to track and field. Most people are stuck in the past but you're on top of all the hidden talent and current athletes around the world. Salute.
You're gonna need a bigger box.
29 feet
see pav... you do have a few gems up your sleeve from time to time.
You're gonna need a bigger box.
That was one of the most incredible things I’ve ever seen an athlete do
Thank you SFS for letting us know about this guy
That was awesome. Too bad about the ty music bed covering up the play by play.
Avante MIA per usual.
SpursforSix spot on with his track and field knowledge per usual
to Spurstalk's go to source for track and field knowledge
the music tho
The most remarkable leap in history is Bob Beamons 29-2 plus in 1968. Keep in mind at that time the WR was 27ish, so to make that HUGE an inprovement was.....WOW~~~ The track world was stunned.
You saw the Cuban kid jump 29 and it's a wow, now imagine this some 50 years ago.
If SFS actually knew track there is no way in he can talk a 19.5-20.5 200m for a middle school, that is humanly impossible.
A few long jump tid bits....
Silvio Cator a Haitian soccer player was the first 26 footer, talking 20's.
Jesse Owens 26-8 WR in the 30's stood for over 20 seasons, the guy who broke it was Ralph Boston, also the guy who held the record that Beamon's remarkable jump broke.
Eric Metcalf that speedy Browns RB was a 27-8 jumper while at Texas and no NFLer has ever jumped further. At least a dozen over 26 feet NFLers. His dad Terrry who was an even better NFL RB was a 25-10ish jumper while at Long Beach State (Cards)
Baseball legend Jackie Robinson was a 25-10ish long jumper at either Pasadena City or UCLA. His older bro Mack (Oregon) won the silver at those 36 Berlin Olympics,, right behind Jesse Owens.

You guys try so hard to give SFS props while booing Avante, yet everybody saw what happened in a leget trivia contest thread, yep, your boy ran.
Everyone who follows track knows about Echevarria, and I don't buy SFS does.
By the way, the kid jumped 28-11 just a week ago.

Speaking of teenagers who shocked the track world.
Betty Robinson was only 16 when she became the first female to win the Olympic 100m, this was 1932.
Baker HS footballer (avg 13 yards a carry) Houston McTear tied the 100 yard WR record of 9.0 as just a junior.
At the 1924 Olympics GB tried to get cute by using their Olympic 100m gold medalist Harold Abrahams on the leadoff leg of the 4x1, yep....get a big lead. NY HS kid Francis Hussey was only there to leadoff the USA 4x1 team, yep....he blew Abrahams away, giving the USA a solid two meters advantage, and that's what we won by.
In 1954 Alameda HSer James Jackson ran a 9.4 100 yards, that was the fastest time ran in the Nation, nobody at any level was faster.
So many interesting stories in track, so many amazing athletes.
Who knows the Stella Walsh story?
Avante has posted what.....100...posts all.....SFS how about you vs me in track trivia, now it's....MIA....hahahaha~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SFS let's do this, ok? You ask me a question and I ask you a question, whoever gets the most right....WINNER. Why are you so afraid to compete...well? , ya must know the long jump to know about this kid three years ago. So talk to me about those 27 footers in NFL history....ok?
Long jump...pit..ok? Not...box.
And didn't I just talk the current NCAA's even predicting new records in the 4x1/4x4? I said Michael Norman will do something big.....yep, new NCAA record.
Stuck in the past..???
Keep an eye on HSer Anthony Schwartz, ah......black sprinter.
I aked SFS
Dude, ya don't look for results to meets you plan on watching on TV, ok? The meet will be on ESPN in a few hours.
Now, give us your EXPERT opinion on what we can expect to see.
Do you see Houston and USC breaking the NCAA records in the 4x1 and 4x4?
What about Michael Norman?
What can we expect in the mens 100m?
Talk to us about that HBCUer who shocked everyone.
The boy posted this....
And by the way...I doubt I'll watch much of it all. I put too much value on my time than to waste it watching track and field.

Avante quit ging up a legit track and field thread.
Always wanting to talk about “teenagers” as per usual.
Yeah, bet you'd love that
Another thread derailed by Avante; always seeking validation that he knows track & field, when SFS has continuously shown his superiority in the subject. Go ahead and reply by giving us your fake resume and listing some googled statistics.
Thanks for the history lesson avante. But how about some up and coming athletes? CTOA is on another level when it comes to T&F
He'll be Googling furiously for the information you just requested on up and coming athletes.
I posted about this in another thread and you completely ignored the feat. Started rambling on about dem blues...
Beamon at al ude? How does al ude give one an advantage in the long jump? And since you might be able to answer this try the next question mr. track wannabe.
Then, why must any runner accelerate on a turn?
Everyone beat you you to this 19 yo.
You are lost.
This thread is about teenage track exploits, right?
Why ignore what I said about those NCAAers?
So I care about the history of it....only? That make any sense to you? I follow all of it and have made that very clear.
How many times have I posted HS lists showing SFS what a 19.5-20.5 really is at a young age?
Should've cleared the box. He could've Reggie Bush'd it and got about $12 M on an injury settlement.
Dude, TRACK & FIELD MAGAZINE...since 1966...ok? Been to over 1000 track meets. Can talk pre1900.
You really can't see my interest in the sport?
Dude, here are those 26 and beyond NFL long jumpers.
Bo Roberson Cornell/Raiders the 1960 Oly silver medalist, and the first speedy Raider.
Vnce Johnson Arizona/Broncos
Eric Metcafe Texas/Browns....his 27-8 the best by any NFLer
Latin Berry Oregon/Rams
James Lofton Stanford/Packers
James McAlister UCLA/Eagles
Chris Sanders Ohio St/ ans
Paul Warfield Ohio St/Browns
Marquiez Goodwin Texas/Bills
Dude, find that on Google.
SFS don't know about track.
