Then there are those addicted to lying about running a 20.00 as a middle school kid despite knowing the Texas HS record is a 20.13, the recent Olympic 200m silver medal was won in 20.03, the HS record is 20.09. Depite having a sprint guru right here in myself telling him that is impossible.
This is the USA 200m list for 2016. Only an addict with no knowlege of 200m times could think a middle school kid could ever come close to 20.00.
So this addict expects anyone to buy some middle school kid could be number 4 in the USA?

See Jarrion Lawson, he won the NCAA 200m and never broke a 20.17.
Sub 20.00 wasn't ran until 1966 when the great Tommie Smith accomplished the feat. The great Bullet Bob Hayes never broke 20.4, the great Henry Carr won the 64 Olympic 200m and never broke 20.2 which was the WR.
A 20.00 would put this middle school kid in the top 4 in the world in the 80's.

As we all know the worst addiction there is is that lying about 200m times.
Tonight we will see this guy run all over Kent State, he couldn't break 21.00 at 200m.
When he was a kid he ran....
When this guy left HS he was the second fastest HS kid ever with a 20.14. This is what 20.14 speed looks like on a football field. He is now a Chief.
While at Marshall he never broke 21.00.
