Trindon Holliday wins his second career SEC 100-meter title with a wind-legal 10.01, which is a personal best and Percy Beard Track record.

Hope he returns three KO's for TD's this year. That little fricker is some kind of fast.

I am eagerly waiting his combine so we can see what runs in the 40, if he does low 4.2's the raiders draft him in the first 4 rounds book it.

I think he will get an invite, just because everyone knows how fast he is.

Its gonna be a tough decision and he has to chose one or the other because you can half arse it in pro track. YOU are the team.

They only invite a certain number for every pos. He really doesnt have a position except ST at this point.

Nah... a sub-10 was needed to make the last Olympics.


He regained his title as CFB's fastest player (Demps' 10.01 was at +1.6, while Trindon's was at +1.1).

Trindon doesn't have much of future in pro track. His body type limits him from improving much, as he lacks top end speed. His start is what makes him, and the elite guys come out of the blocks as fast.

Yeah thats why I was impressed he improved his time. He is a rare track athlete because of his size and his short strides. His first steps out of the blocks are world class hands down. He spanks people out of the blocks and I think he could have a decent future in track. His time today would have qualified him for the olympics last year.

He has a good start, but for the 100m, the race isn't run in the blocks. He lacks the top end speed to be an elite sprinter.

Only the top 4 at the finals make the olympics.

Quit talking out of your arse.
