All the girls knew I was in for heavy petting on the first date.

Second date, I was angling to let my fingers do the walking.

Fastest white guy. Still not fast enough to be on the track team


Was the only white kid in school but was the fastest.

Only briefly did I have a school mate that was faster than me and he went off to Santa Monica or something. He still holds state records from the 80s.

4.6 40 in HS (small Catholic HS) at 5' 9", 140 lbs. Fastest straight-line runner in football, but there was a guy quicker on cut runs.
I would've just been average speed at the local public high school.

I was the slowest 155# kid on the baseball diamond. Had everything going for me to be a good stereotypical 2-hole/leadoff second baseman except for speed. I could field well, hit for contact well, etc., but only way I was stealing a base was if the catcher threw the ball out of the field of play. Like not even overthrow to the center fielder, cuz they still had a shot at getting me. He better throw that fricker over a fence.

At field day in seventh grade I ran the fastest 50 yard dash at park forest junior high. I was not surprised . Fact, medals and ribbons out the arse for this fast white boy.

Never all that fast in straight line sprinting, but I was pretty quick and could jump well. I was a decent basketball and football player until high school for (at the time) a little guy.

Went on a growth spurt when I was about 14 or 15 and could run a nice 800M after that (2:00 - 2:05), but that was about it. Played in some leagues and knew guys who are legit NBA and NFL players (still in the league, actually, and playing well) when I was pretty young and realized I was never going to be anywhere near that class athletically.

Fastest in my school. 4.6 40, 11.3 100, and 22.8 200. Suffered from horrible shin splints. Wished they would have had the shoes then that they have now. Also wished I would have hit the weights, especially squats and cleans. Probably would have maxed out at a 10.9 100 if I had been healthy and worked harder.

Bottom quartile. I am also in the top 5% for size though.

I was small and pretty fast; also a very good long jumper, 18-20 ft and that was usually always good for 2nd or 3rd place. I ran a 17:30 3 mile run on inventory my PFT in boot camp and got that down to 16:40 when I left PI. I was always able to keep my 3 mile time below 18 minutes. I tried running not too long ago, got about 500 yards and had to walk back to the house.

Probably was around 15th in the 40 on the football team in high school. Had a couple of future NFL players in that group.
