Devon Achane ran his personal best today at the NCAA West Region Preliminaries. His time is the 2nd best time out of 45 runners. He also also ran a 20.56 200 meters. The finals are on Saturday and the twelve top times will advance to the NCAA Finals in June.

Fellow Aggie runner Emmanuel Yeboah ran a 10.09 100 meters, so our guys are peaking at the right time. Looking forward to what our other runners will do this weekend.

Achane is really amazing and continues to improve his times. His 10.04 probably makes him the fastest college football player in America.

he prob could've competed for the backup spot at Tascosa

That's called " he gone speed"

He's so fast he makes fast people look not fast.....

Did anyone see the 200 run? He won his heat but I heard he was pretty much coasting the last half as top 3 automatically qualify. I won't be surprised to see a low 20 in the finals.

Post your Texags 100m best times : )

I unfortunately never ran 100m as things where still yards when I was a kid.

5.12 here

Have to respect two-sport athletes that work as hard as Devon does. Bringing times down in a sprint means accepting coaching and executing on training. I've heard upper body strength is extremely valuable for the pumping of arms for more burst especially off the blocks. And similarly there is an emphasis on training fast twitch muscle responses. All this and running efficiently can spillover into football. But regardless it demonstrates Achane's willingness to work hard to represent Texas A&M!

Got ya beat on the 5.2ish as a skill player

easily becoming a guy that's fun to root for. seems real humble especially when he was forced into the spotlight as the Orange Bowl MVP and had to do the interview as a true freshman.

Ran a 4.5 here, borrowed some spikes from a track guy and there was a stiff tailwind that day. Work smarter not harder

I was so slow my coach used to tell me I couldn't run out of sight in the middle of the night.

Any videos of his races?

At 10.4...I was about half way to the finish line and starting to "kick it in" for last place.

Soooo, I got to run the 800 meters instead.

As long as no one helpfully told you the 800 is a marathon not a sprint.

Personally I liked the bowl announcer against NC...

"...and NOBODY is gonna catch him!"

10.04 is probably the point I stop running and start walking.

My best 100m time? I'll let you know when I finish.

5.7 here. Slower than molasses. That's why I ran distance in high school. Made it to state in the mile my junior yr, where I placed 8th, err, last. My best mile was 4:38.

5.5 50 yds, 10.00 100 yards, 48.7 440, 1:55.2 880.

Relays: Mile. 2:18.2 ; 4X110 42.1 : State meet places but no first. We won all at regionals.

I gave up at 20 yds.

It's all about the codes.

The 800 is a god awful race.

I have no idea what kind of times I would have run, but my baseball coach used to tell me that he didn't mind that I pulled a piano behind me running the bases, he just didn't like when I stopped to play it.

2:02 880 yards as 16 year old in 1976. Not sure what that is in meters, like 2:04 maybe. 52:05 quarter, 4.6 40. I'll have faster times in 5 more years..., isn't that how it works?

I ran a legit hand timed 4.5

(collapsed at around 20yds)

4.6 here. Loooong time ago.

Is 4.33 good?
