Aggie track signee Wayne Davis won the Golden West Invitational track meet in California running a time of 13.56 into a strong headwind. Second place was 14.39.

Nice! Look forward to seeing him compete next year.

Wayne Davis, Wayne Davis, Wayne Davis.


His first order of business upon arriving in C.S. should be a restraining order against me.

To give everyone an idea of how this highschooler translates to college, here are the results from the NCAA's last week:

---

Finals
1 Ronnie Ash SO Bethune-Cookman 13.27 -2.0 10
2 Jason Richardson SR South Carolina 13.49 -2.0 8
3 William Wynne FR Florida 13.68 -2.0 6
4 Myles Bradley SR Stanford 13.81 -2.0 5
5 Andrew Riley FR Illinois 13.83 -2.0 4
6 Booker Nunley FR South Carolina 13.84 -2.0 3
7 Kallinka Pitt SR Florida 13.88 -2.0 2
8 Kirkland Thornton SR Nebraska 13.99 -2.0 1
9 Barrett Nugent FR LSU 14.01 -2.0

how many inches taller are the college hurdles?

very impressive regardless.

>>>>>>will he run on any of the relays?<<<<<<<<<

Davis's headwind was -3.0.

It will be interesting who will be better in the hurdles – Wayne or Gabby.
This year, in the 100H Gabby finished 1st in the Big 12 meet, 2nd in the regional meet, and 4th in the NCAA meet.

I would guess Davis. He hold's the World Jr Record. Don't think Mayo accomplished that.

Davis is lopping off .5 seconds every time I look to see how fast he is running. Milesplit has a long record of all his races and you will see he is setting a new PR about every 2 weeks.

Just wait until Henry gets his hands on him.

Even though Wayne is winning EVERY single race he enters the one word that pops into my mind when I think of him is 'potential'.

He has the chance to be our first Olympian under Henry.

Do you mean the first olympian recruited by Henry?

Fabrice Lapierre jumped under Henry at A&M and went to the Olympics last year (although not a student at A&M at the time, he still trains in CS)

How tall is he? will he have any trouble moving up to 42" hurdles?

We have a recruit coming in who has already been in the Olympics.

Plus Simone Facey was on Jamaica's 4X100 team at the Olympics last summer (pretty sure as an alternate but still part of the Olympic roster).

He's pretty small by hurdler's standards. Maybe 5'9"-"10 from what I've read. Kids can grow overnite though so that may be old info.

Here's an interesting read regarding hurdlers' and height.

http://www.hurdlesfirst.com/taller.htm

I ran the highs in high school. Not terribly well, I might add. I am 5'10" and had decent speed; however, with only a 31" inseam, I do not think I could have stepped up to 42" hurdles even if I had run great times in high school. Maybe leg length is more important than height. The two are related, but there can be significant variations in leg length among people of the same height.

HS boys = 36"
College mens = 42"
