He ran 10.64 and 21.46 on a wet track.

He led Warren G. Harding to their first state championship as well.
congrats
It's speed!
I know he hasn't committed,
I know he hasn't committed, but worth noting that Anthony Zettel won the shot put title as well.
In fact
His shot-out throw yesterday was the best across the board for all four LP state meets.

this is great to hear
that's two state championships in the 100 for him, and to add another one in the 200 (on a wet track) is quite an accomplishment
and it cant hurt to add that track speed to the UM recieving corps
Man, if Demar Dorsey
could just make it into UM, we would have a triumvirate of ridculously fast players: Denard, D.J. and Demar (is there something about the letter 'D' that increases speed?). Remember, it was considered an "upset" when Denard beat Demar in the 100 meter a few years ago.
Even without Demar, the offense will have two VERY fast skill players in Denard and D.J. I'm looking forward to seeing that speed unleashed on UM's foes in the near future.
We ARE Michigan....COME GET SOME!!!
dont forget tay odoms
if i remember correctly he ran the fastest 40 time on the team with something like a 4.35
And Michael Shaw. Wasn't he
And Michael Shaw. Wasn't he a nationally ranked sprinter?
For today, goodbye. For tomorrow, good luck. And forever, Go Blue.
yes sir
he was riciulously good at the 400m (46.4) and was better than DJ at the 200m (21.19)
some other noted speedsters on the offense:
Je'Ron Stokes - runs hurdles for UM (this has been mentioned in the past)
Jeremy Gallon - has run a 4.38 forty
Vincent Smith - a reported (but questioned) 4.3 range forty
Fitz Toussaint - 10.56 100m, 21.79 200m
EDIT: it is to be noted that there is a difference between the initial burst of quickness (Gallon, Smith) and those with top end speed (DJ, Shaw)
Je'Ron is a good addition,
Je'Ron is a good addition, but if you bring Vincent Smith into this category, you might as well bring in every position player on offense and defense. Another person that should be mentioned though is TRob. He ran a number of 10.8-ish 100m's in HS and low 40 times.
These guys would look pretty impressive
sprinting to the other side of the field at the end of the quarter, whoop!

common theme here......Team Speed
I am very excited to see how the season unfolds for us this year.

Michael Shaw was the National
Michael Shaw was the National Champion in the 200m - this kid's speed gets overlooked often, but he's really, really fast as well.
Also, the reason most people think DJ won the 100m title last year was because a kid named Toussaint was injured and didn't run at state. He was the favorite.
Needless to say, we've got some speed on offense, that's for sure.
Keeping with the D theme
Don't forget about about #22.
Did he throw up the Roc-a-Fella
dynasty sign at the end of the 100?
Another burner...
I just hope he can catch the ball

Here's a story...
...about the meet from the Youngstown News.
At the center of the state, at the center of the track, at the center of the podium, Warren Harding senior DeAver Williamson took the Division I championship trophy on Saturday evening and held it aloft for all to see.
His Raiders are the center of Ohio’s track and field universe.
Thanks to two individual state titles from the Michigan football recruit, Harding won its first state track title in history with a 47-44 victory over Trotwood Madison at Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium.
“To do this, and to run with this group of guys, it means a lot,” said Williamson. “I can’t put this into words.”
Williamson repeated as the 100-meter dash state champion and added a 200 title out of Lane 8 to help Harding win the crown on what was probably only a B-plus performance from the Raiders this weekend.

D.J. Williamson
What another great addition of speed. We are stacked at every skill position on offense now with guys that have tremendous speed. Just think of Je'Ron Stokes, Darryl Stonum, and D.J. Williamson on the outside with Martavious Odoms, Jeremy Gallon, and Terence Ronbinson on the inside.
Special
Just gives me the feeling that something special is brewing....
