High school kids in Jamaica is old than the typical high school American. This is due to sixth form meaning kids could be as old as 19. High schoolers in America are usually don’t at 17/18

I just looked at the video of the relay team that had the record 20 years ago. The last guy actually slowed down before the line because they had so much of a lead. And they was running in Lane 1 which is tough on the curves. And it was on a dirt track.

This ravens was crazy! Both 1 and 2 broke the National record

Damn they were moving moving😭. Them Texas high school’s are different

Imagine each of these high schools can only select athletes from their student body, in this case Atascocita has only 3,621 students. Even a college would have upwards of 20,000 older students and can (do) recruit the best from across the world.

In California they allow students to go to any high school in the school district they live in. It can result in an occasional concentration of sprinters (T&F) or distance runners (CC) in one school. Nope, that did not happen with distance runners at Newberry Park or Great Oak over the last decade, that was pure coincidence.

@@crosslink1493 Just a side note, because I work here; if you include the entire Conejo Valley Unified School District that contains Newbury Park High School, that is barely over 6,600 high school students.

Yes most Schools going down to lower D1 and good D2 schools have more students then a big high school like Atascocita. I know in mid 2000's my high school TF Riggs in Pierre (Pier) had a guy who could have been an Olympic sprinter Quincy Chrisie if his school did not beyond 💯% force spring football training once going D1. He dropped his lesser scholarship. In smaller new AFL, Areana games of his first and only season Quincy hurt himself so bad I am not sure he can even walk anymore. 190 pounds is a bit small for even arena, was fine for D1 NCAA special teams and trick play running back but he was a bit small even for a smaller New AFL/arena league and was nearly quadriplegic for life as he could not move right away and had to be stretchered off the field.

Tough to tell with the endless edits during the race, but that pass from leg 2 to 3 looked great. Then runner 3 put a move on curve and got ahead of Duncanville. Fair pass from 3 to 4, but the baton was moving at that point. Man, Texas has been cranking out great HS relays for decades.

Thank U thank U for another amazing video again!!! Also I want to reiterate that TEXAS is a haven of world class athletes. Even some of our middle school/ Jr. High athletes are competitive internationally. My Hine town just hosted a track meet named after Deion Minor 400m specialist. A high jumper from the local school broke the state high jump record and then broke his own record that same meet. Watkins is a focused young sprinter. My wife and I have enjoyed watching him compete fiercely with Duncanville, San Antonio Rebels and others. It's always a good show at any sport in TEXAS, but this young man had been progressing steadily each year. My hats off to ya Yung Watkins. Thnx for this excerpt for yet smother amazing TEXAN who is lighting the track on fire 🔥 Peace N Love

The entire top 10 list is Texas schools. 8 from the Houston area and 2 from Dallas/Fort Worth

That is a crazy time. I remember back in the day, running it in 41 seconds was extremely fast and would place in a State Meet. They must have atleast 3 runners running 10.5 or under in the 100 meters.

Perfect handoffs.

EXACTLY! Was looking a comment like this. For a very fast Relay time - ALL 4 handoffs need to be great or perfect.

To break a record like this, not only do have to run like the wind, but you also have to have nearly perfect exchanges. Amazing!

I went to high school in Texas in 1990. Things may be different now, but there are two things to note. They can be as old as 21 and still compete. Many schools get away with illegal recruitment. My school got caught 😂.

Selective Androgen Receptor Modulators. Easy to take orally, easy to source online and cheap. Basically steroids but likely less healthy. Probably lots of high school kids taking them for sports and whatever also likely to cause a rash of health issues down the line. High school kids don't get tested for this stuff.

I live in Atascocita. They are NOT a prep school. They are a public high school.

I want to know what the last leg time was. He exploded!!

Hell the 3rd place team also tied fo the 9th best time all time. So, you had the 1st, 2nd, and 9th best time ALL-TIME in one race. Thats nuts

How much have the Jamaicans upset American sprinters? They've given them a 10 year depression .

seeing TRP talk about these guys is getting too close to home man 😂 Houston putting on like they always do

last leg was 8.98 apparently 💀

Alltime-athletics lists this as tied for the 2357th best. Scanning the names of some of those teams tied with this over history you see a virtual who's who of sprinting. Don Quarrie (who I got smoked by about that same time), Ron Brown, Donovan Bailey, Tim Montgomery (yeah he was dirty), Ato Boldon and Christian Coleman.

Superstar😂. These athletes should be paying this guy for the amount of hype he applies to them.

Better check between them toes

you are wrong. the record is 39.0 set by Calabar at Penn relays. These guys would have to run a perfect race again at Penn relays to beat the Jamaican teams. the Jamaicans are faster foot speed and will match any handoff that this high school guys did. So match up they would have a hard time beating the Jamaican teams. See the Jamaicans high school run in two sections. under 17 and under 20. Some of the school fastest runners do run under 17. SO when they combine their fastest teams it will be much faster than their high school champs . So expect these guys will run sub 40sec. if the weather is right. Jamaica high school I don't see running sub 39. but I don't think this team will run sub 39 at a Penn relay into the weather condition in Philly either. One thing the Jamaicans are very good at is baton change, they will match those change over very easily.

By the way the “cita” is not pronounced like it is Spanish 😂

Was an anti-doping test performed?

Weren't they recruited for this team, most high schools just have to work with what they have. Not taking anything away from their achievements, just asking.
