Alright, so there might be 4 kids(not Sylve) in the whole state, girls and boys, who could have placed in the SEC meet. What is unusual about that? Its not unheard of to have basketball players (e.g. Greg Monroe, Semoine Augustus) who could start for any college team in the nation as high schoolers. Those are the kids who end up being college stars.

You're reading way to much into my posts. All I'm implying is that there were several kids in Louisiana that would have competed in the SEC this year. Period. I said nothing about it being unusual, nor that the SEC sucks.

BTW. Sylve ran a wind aided 10.18 FAT a few weeks ago in a Texas. Are you going to sit there and argue that someone running a sub 10.2, wind aided or not, could not compete in the SEC?

My mistake. I was talking to the guy who said this

quote:
Hell, I'd say a lot of the kids at the LHSAA State track meet last weekend are better than half of this competition. It's amazing some of these teams are running/throwing kids with these numbers.

I thought you were the one who said that and were actively defending that point. Rereading your posts, what you said is true. It just isn't a knock against the SEC like the other poster in this thread said.

Jeff Demps, Marek Nitt, Gabrielle Mvumvere, Dentarius Locke, Jonathan Juin, Harry Adams, Michael Granger, Keenen Brock, Terrel Wilks.

Which of those guys is Sylve faster than? They all(except Demps and Mvumvere) ran as fast as his fastest time of the year in the SEC meet with only a 3.0 wind. His 10.18 was ran in a prelim with a 3.9 win. And it's not like he consistently runs 10.2....10.4 is far more common out of him....That's not to say he's not a college level sprinter. Just defending the sprinting powerhouse that is the SEC.
