Some ranters they call other peopke idiots and they are just ignorant ! The other day some ranter said Mingo ran a 21.8 in the 200 meters in high school like that's a bad time?

It's an awesome time and can't be correct it would mean he ran 40 yards in 4 seconds flat in a 200 meters! By my math

21.8/218= .1 x 40 = .4 seconds in the 40 but he, Mingo, ran this in a 200 meter race if this is true he is incredible!!!

I know it's very simple math but I'm getting old if I made a mistake please let me know . If any one can confirm this time in the 200 meters by mingo please let me know.

It's true that Mingo was strictly a track guy until the football coaches at West Monroe noticed he had just a tad of raw football potential, too. Maybe as a freshman or sophomore? 21.8 would be a nice time. Maybe JJ or one of the other West Monroe guys who knows the details can chime in.

21.85 in the State Meet and check out the 400 meter anchor split.

Serious?? Mingo and might not be close.


I expect it to be very close. Lengthen it to 100, and Minter has no chance, but he might win the 40.

He played basketball as well.

Did Mingo go through a huge growth spurt as a sophomore? Did he move to town or transfer from somewhere else? I'm just curious why he seemed to pop up our of nowhere onto the coaches radar and play his first football as a high school junior.

Because he's fast as frick. Coaches are always trying to get athletes to play multiple sports. They finally got him to the field and it paid off for all involved.

Your math doesn't take into account his acceleration period. Also, running 200 m =/= running a 40. The runner hits his top speed at different times.

I am not a track expert, but this is how it has been explained to me.

And sure if you look at his splits he may have a point where he runs 40 yds is 4 seconds, but not from a standstill.
