RECRUITING: Sterling Galban commits

I hate to say this, but you are a liar. Lol
I'm guessing Central Nebraska isn't Class A.
So did your best 100 runners not compete in the individual 100m dash?
Or did they all run a 10.68?
I hate to say it but you're wrong. I didn't remember exact splits so I tried to find it. Their time at state was 41.91. That's a sub 10.5 split average.

Districts they were a bit faster than that. I want to say 41.79.
To answer sarcastic question #2, correct none broke the state record that year in the actual 100, which was higher than 10.41 at the time.
Hope your crow is tasty.
A 4x100 relay split =/= 100m dash. 3 out of 4 runners in the 4x100 have a running start. They should run a faster time than a straight 100m dash runner coming out of the blocks.
Taking splits from a 4x100 isn't really a good way to judge someone's 100 meter time. Each leg besides the first runner starts there split at a run already as opposed to the blocks. This should result in a faster time since they are already near top speed and also it's hard to judge how far they actually run. Usually, the fastest runner runs closer to 110 meters due to the exchange zone, so the person running the shorter distance will obviously have a very good split.
You are comparing splits with starting blocks...I'd hope the guy who has a running start could beat a guy getting out of blocks.
I agree totally. That wasn't the point I made. In fact the only point I am making now is that I wasnt lying. And provided the link to prove it.
10.6 would have placed Sterling in the top 5 in Class A in Nebraska. Your high school had the 4 fastest guys in the state? Impressive!
You are wrong. See message below.
Correct. For example, we didn't have a single runner who could break 11.5 in the 100m dash in high school, but we ran sub 45 (or an 11.25 average) in the 4x100. Not the same at all.
Example: Epworth WD won the 4x1 in Iowa this year with a time of 42.00. One of the runners on that team was 6th in the 100m finals running 11.31.
Sorry fella, I'm not eating any crow.
Edit: I'm sure Sterling could hit the 10.5 range in a 4x1 split.

A general rule of thumb to get a ballpark idea of converting 4x100m split times to average individual 100m times is to add 2 seconds to the 4x100 time and divide by 4.
So 41.91 + 2 = 43.91
43.91/4 = 10.98 average
(And I'm assuming that 41.91 time was FAT. If it was hand timed, you are looking at avg 100m times of around 11.04)
Still pretty fast for a midwest HS team to have 4 sprinters run around 10.9-11.00.
But, 10.69 FAT is pretty fast for a HS athlete.
Holy ****, enough with the dog pile. This site is ridiculous sometimes and unforgiving always.
Ok yes I was comparing 41.91 divided by 4 to 10.69. Yes 10.69 wouldve been on my HS 4x100 team.
MY ACTUAL POINT AND WHAT I SHOULDVE JUST SAID WAS...Im surprised that 10.69 (even out of the blocks in a 100m race) is worthy of 3rd place in Texas.

Someone hereabouts posted that Kene Nwangwu ran 10.71 in Texas high school state meet. So, Sterling Galban is faster (in this comparison, at least) than Kene. Glad we've got them both.
I DIDN"T COME HERE FOR ANY GODDAMN MATH.
Just had to get that off my chest.

couldn't wind be a factor? running with head wind vs tail wind can make a pretty significant difference in the 100
Just say you were wrong and move on. The guy is fast. You don't know what the conditions were that day, or a lot of other things.
I think it was 3rd place in 4A though, right? I'm sure there were some good times in 5A and 6A.
That said, the two guys that went 1st and 2nd in 4A (ahead of Galban) ran 10.22(!!) and 10.34(!). Those dudes can fly.
Edit: Sterling would have been 7th in 5A, and also 7th in 6A. So that's 14 dudes who are faster than 10.69 in Texas high school track. Wow!!
He would have had the fastest time at the Iowa State Track Meet. Even faster than Trousil, who can fly.
