#12	WOOT May 13 at 7:21am No offense to this guys kick, but that 4x1 you posted below was a lot more exciting and intense. reply
#11	Chris Carrington May 13 at 6:48am he was obviously tired from the 4x8 so it'd make more sense to sit and kick and use less energy than take it out hard! At a meet like this all that matters is the win reply
#10	MikeyB May 12 at 10:04pm maybe if he ran hard the whole race he could run a sub 150! reply
#9	WAXC May 12 at 5:46pm a friend of mine ran a 24 second 200m just like that. and he only plays soccer. they can get some pretty crazy speed/stamina. reply
#8	Matt Abrams May 12 at 5:11pm Check out this B 4x8 from the Florida 4A State Championships, dude closes a big gap in the last 200 of the last lap and then gets him right at the line. B 4x800 H01 Get the Flash Player to see this player. reply

#6	Swb May 12 at 2:24pm that was the kick and the tasty race all in one! you go gurl! reply
#5	Anonymous Coward May 12 at 12:37pm way to represent Hillsborough county! reply
#4	Dan Knewitz May 12 at 12:12pm A natural 1:53 is crazy unless they were doing 60 sec. quarter repeats on the soccer field. reply
#3	Mighty Porn Stache May 12 at 10:52am I had a team mate my junior year who was also a senior, who was also running for the first year, win the 800m state championship on that same exact track in 1992 with a big kick (not that big though) in 1:53. This is weeeeeeeird! reply

Kick of the Week (May 11)

Wharton Senior Sean Obinwa was a soccer player before this track season. In his last spring in high school, Obinwa decided to come out for track and a few months later he became 2-time state champ (800 & 4x800) running some of the fastest marks in the state, 1:53 and 7:49 (relay). Congrats to Sean and thanks for giving us this week's Flotrack Kick of the Week! (Sean will continue running next year as a freshman in college)
