Jamaica/Trinidad
It started in the late 40's when the island had...
George Rhoden Morgan State
Les Laing Fresno State
Herb McKenley Illinois
Arthur Wint all 6-5 of him (have read 6-4 to 6-6) guy was tall.
That group would win a trunk load of Olympics medals from the 100 to the 800. In 1952 that gang broke the WR in the 4x4 with McKenley running the first ever sub 45.00 split with his 44.6. One season Rhoden, McKenley & Wint were the top three ranked 400m sprinters in the word. McKenley is still the only sprinter to run the Olympic finals in the 100-200-400.
In the late 50's Dennis Johnson Bakersfield JC/ San Jose State was running a world record 9.3.
In the 60's/70's they had Lennox Miller and Don Quarrie both USC Trojans. They would both win a couple Olympic medals a piece.
Trinidad had it's jets also in that time period I mentioned above...
E.Mcdonald Bailey
George Lewis
Mike Agostini Fresno State (white sprinter)
Edwin Roberts NCC
...all among the best in the world. Lewis a 100m WR holder, all but him running in Olympic finals. Bailey and Roberts medaling.
Between back then and 2000
Trinidad
Hasley Crawford..Eastern Michigan
Ato Boldon...SJCC/UCLA
Wendell Mottley...Yale
Jamaica
Bert Cameron...UTEP
Ray Stewart...TCU
Mike Fray..UTEP
Percival Spencer...TCU (on that NCAA 4x1 record team)
Ben Johnson, Linford Christie & Donovan Bailey were all born in Jamaica.
Since 2000 those island have expoded as far as sprinters goes.
Trinidad
Marc Burns...Auburn
Aaron Armstrong...Barton/Florida
Richard Thompson..LSU
Keston Bledman
Jamaica
Michael Frater...TCU
Steve Mullings..Barton/Miss St
Asafa Powell
Nesta Carter
Nikel Ashmeade
Usian Bolt
Yohan Blake
Soooooo much speed, from small populations. Then there's the brothers...
Mal and Mel Spence Jamaica ASU 400m guys
Asafa and Donovan Powell Jamaica
Ainsley and Aaron Armstrong father and son Trinidad
Michael and Lindel Frater Jamaica
Steve and Dwight Mullings Jamaica, Dwight a 400m guy.
But at no time have both islands been as potenially potent as they are right now. Very realistic to think...
Jamaica wins the 100 200 and the 4x1 in WR time.
Trinidad medals in the 4x1, has two sprinters in the 100m final. The 100m final could have 5 lanes with those isanders in them. The Jamaicans could sweep the 100. Take 1-2 in the 200m.
If we ran the All Time born in Jamaica 100m it would be stunning.

Only the mighty 300 mill plus USA compares to all that above. As we know a lot of the Jamaicans are staying home now as opposed to when they were always off to some school in the USA. We can't argue with how that is going.
Then we had the female sprinters.
Unbelievable.
No, but neither are you, B....
How about...

....at USA schools.
Andrew Riley was more of a hurdler yet he can win the NCAA 100m, he's a Jamaican. Makusha was a long jumper yet he can win the NCAA 100 in record time, he's from Africa. What is going on with Ameican sprinting, no it's not football.
All these schools had a foreign athlete as their best (alumni) ever sprinter.
inson...Derrick Atkins..Bahamas
UCLA..Ato Boldon..Trinidad
Eastern Michigan..Hasley Crawford...Trinidad
Oregon...Harry Jerome..Canada
Illinois...Herb McKenley...Jamaica
TCU...Kim Collins..St.Kitts
NCC..Edwin Roberts..Trinidad
UTEP...Oba Thompson..Barbados
BYU..Frankie Fredericks...Namibia
Azusa Pacific..Davidson Ezinwa..Nigeria
Fresno State...Mike Agostini..Trinidad
Westmont...Jean Louis Ravelomantsoa...Madagazcar
LSU..Richard Thompson..Trinidad
Missouri...Chidi Imoh..Nigeria
Andrew Riley is the fastest Big10 sprinter in ages, and he isn't even a sprinter. That's how weak the Big10 is when it comes to speed.
I 'll give it to Charlie Paddock as the best USC sprinter, but won't ignore Jamaicans Lennox Miller and Don Quarrie.
The first great UCLA sprinter was Lloyd LaBeach out of Panama. Both TCU/UTEP loaded with foreign sprinters.
The fastest college sprinter this year would be FSU's Kemar Hyman who just ran a 9.95, he's from the Cayman Islands.
What if Bolt, Powell, Blake and Carter had ran for some USA schools like all those other Jamaicans had? Too bad Darrel Brown from Trinidad didn't, he needed it. Who remembers Seun Ogunkoya (spell?) from Nigeria?

that's sbm, who uses that account to discuss track.
one wonders if that's actually so given the uberfat physical appearance of sbm though
hmmm
now we need facebook accounts
You are so wrong it's comical. Does SM know pro wrestling, how out football?
Dude trust me on this, you couldn't be more wrong if you worked at it.
Kind of got schooled didn't ya? Want more track?
Picked up an harmonica at 10 instead of 40.
So where is SM? That should prove we are not the same.

...what would you have done differently?
I would have played linebacker instead of runningback.
Picked up an harmonica at 10 instead of 40.
Picked up a guitar at 10. Can fake some slide.
Would have paid attention in English class.
Would have stayed in the military.
Would have stayed away from the acid.

A question for the ages...
Gonna give the nod to Avante. DiscoGary is probably better at what he does but I feel like he struggles to troll successfully outside of political matters.
Avante is a modern renaissance man!
Now how old is SM?
This guys is as disliked there as he is here.
Check out his rep bar lol
