Thats not the 400m relay, you clown. Its the 1600m relay ir the 4 x 400m relay.

He ran a 9.98 100 meter earlier in the year but I believe it was wind aided. The kid is extremely talented.

Martini•60 months

Yes he did and it was fast. Going to Georgia.

He also ran a wind legal 10.13 100M, which set the official HS record.

Poor kid with the lead. He had 99% of the stadium against him and had to listen to the announcer.

The announcer was extremely unprofessional in that race. He should be put out to pasture. To make the entire final leg all about the one kid is disrespectful to the other athletes who are trying just as hard as the the Jesuit (just obviously not as talented). But 100% effort is 100% effort regardless how much talent someone has, and to dismiss everything every other one of those athletes is doing is a shame. I am all for the announcer getting the crowd hyped, but make it about the race, not one kid and the last time we may ever get to see him run... until he goes to college and runs again.

Had to mute because of that stupid announcer!

That announcer is a microcosm of what sports reporting and color commentary have become. Feel bad for the kid and his family that was in the lead to have to listen to that. Just terrible.
