2010 Recruits' High School Track Stats
I was introduced to the website www.milesplit.com from a track buddy. On the website, you can type in any person that has run track in high school, and check out some of there personal bests times and what not. Not all meets and invitationals are in the website, therefore some may have personal bests that are better than the ones posted. But anyways, to save you guys some time, here are some players and their times and distances.
Demar Dorsey: 100m Dash = 10.53, 200m Dash = 21.48, Long Jump = 21-4.25 ft.
Josh Furman: 100m Dash = 11.02, 200m Dash = 23.16
Antonio Kinard: Long Jump = 21-0 ft.
Ricardo Miller: 100m Dash = 12.05, 200m Dash = 23.37, 400m Dash = 53.63 (These stats are all from 2008 while he was at Florida)
Jordan Paskorz: Shot Put = 50-3.75 ft.
Marvin Robinson: Long Jump = 22-8 ft., Triple Jump = 44-5 ft. (all from 2007, freshman year?)
Terrance Talbott: 100m Dash = 11.57, Long Jump = 22-0.75 ft.
D.J. Williamson: 100m Dash = 10.66, 200m Dash = 21.64
Some Current Players:
Jeremy Gallon: 100m Dash = 11.06, 200m Dash = 23.33
Denard Robinson: 100m Dash = 10.44, 200m Dash = 21.89, Long Jump = 20-5.5 ft.
Fitzgerald Toussaint: 100m Dash = 10.74, 200m Dash = 22.65
Darryl Stonum: 200m Dash = 21.62
Terrence Robinson: 100m Dash = 10.78, 200m Dash = 21.87

speed kills, should be an exciting next couple years
February 3rd, 2010 at 9:52 PM ^
Ricardo doesn't look to have that great of sprinting speed, but he does have pretty good conditioning based on that 400.
February 3rd, 2010 at 9:58 PM ^
Although Ricardo's times aren't earth shattering, those are from his sophomore year, and he's a pretty big guy. He'd probably run in the mid to low 11's as a senior, which still doesn't make him a burner, but not bad for a guy over 200lbs.
For those non-track followers, all of the guys who run sub-11 in the 100m as high schoolers are very, very fast.
February 3rd, 2010 at 10:06 PM ^
Wasn't he a Junior when he was still in Florida?
February 3rd, 2010 at 11:08 PM ^
It says that those times were from 2008. If he were still in high school, 2010 would be his senior track season, so in 2008 he was a sophomore.
February 3rd, 2010 at 10:04 PM ^
No offense, but i'm a junior in high school and last year as a sophomore i ran a 51.48 at my league meet, and unfortunately i'm still a few seconds off of state. But for a big guy like him, yes that isn't to bad at all.
February 3rd, 2010 at 10:15 PM ^
That's pretty good, a kid from my team last year got second in state with about 50 seconds.
February 3rd, 2010 at 10:22 PM ^
wow, really? To get out of my regionals, you gotta run atleast in the 49's. I ran against one kid my freshman year, who literally just killed everyone. I dont think he got pushed once in a race, until he got to regionals. I think he ended up running a 47 at state.
February 3rd, 2010 at 10:28 PM ^
Now that I looked at it, he got a 49.51. But you're not from Michigan, are you?
February 3rd, 2010 at 10:36 PM ^
Nope i'm a die heart michigan fan from ohio haha but yeah that time is excellent. About how tall is your friend? I'm only 5'8", so my height and strides doesn't help me none.
February 3rd, 2010 at 10:38 PM ^
About my height, 6 foot
February 3rd, 2010 at 10:41 PM ^
Yeah i'm sure that doesnt hurt any
February 3rd, 2010 at 11:12 PM ^
Don't use height as an excuse. My co-captian of our track team in high school was maybe 5'9" and all legs. He ran in the 47's at the state meet and 153 in the half. He ran track at Auburn. There are short guys who excel at every track event. Stride is only half the battle, turnover is the other.
I have a 30" inseam, I get it.
February 4th, 2010 at 6:45 AM ^
Actually i am not making an excuse, i am just stating, if i was taller, it'd help some.
February 3rd, 2010 at 11:14 PM ^
That's messed up. How many people did he kill?
February 3rd, 2010 at 10:57 PM ^
my roommate who runs D-3 track runs 48.2 . I'm not saying I'm not excited about Ricardo, only that he's not going to be a burner. Holy crap those times by the rest of the guys are fast though! Dorsey faster than D-Rob in the 200 -- can't wait til Barwis gets ahold of him.
February 3rd, 2010 at 11:14 PM ^
I agree that Ricardo is not going to be a burner, but comparing a high school sophomore's time to that of a college athlete is a little silly. Some of the fastest sprinters out there can't run a better-than-decent quarter mile anyway.
February 3rd, 2010 at 11:39 PM ^
Yikes, that 100 is awful. I hope he had a bad start or stumbled or something, because I ran a sub-12 100 a year out of college at a corporate charity meet without really training. I got beat in my heat by a guy who worked the night shift at McDonalds.
February 3rd, 2010 at 11:54 PM ^
I'm 6'1'' and weighed 205 in high school and I usually ran in the 12.1-12.2 range. My friends gave me shit because there was a mentally challenged kid on our team, and he would always beat me pretty handily. I was always considered slow, so hopefully that gets 5 FAKES out of 5.
February 3rd, 2010 at 9:54 PM ^
This dude is fast! Excited to see him play this year
February 3rd, 2010 at 10:07 PM ^
I guess I hadn't ever realized DJ Williamson was that fast. I should have, but I didn't. Wow.
February 3rd, 2010 at 10:19 PM ^
but he won the Ohio state 100m last year and was pretty much his claim to fame so yeah you whiffed on that one. I would have thought you had 22pts based on that comment had I not seen your avatar.
February 3rd, 2010 at 10:28 PM ^
Yeah, that's fair. I mean, I knew he was fast, but I guess it's more that I hadn't looked at his film or recruiting profile in so long that I'd just forgotten. There are a lot of players that we have had locked for a long time that I just haven't paid any attention to recruiting-wise in a long time (e.g. Williamson, Miller, Jackson, etc.). I'm also studying for another bar exam right now, so that could also explain it...
February 3rd, 2010 at 10:13 PM ^
One guy that i am fairly suprised with is Terrence Robinson. I figured he'd have to be pretty quick to be at the slot, but i didnt know he had that elite speed.
February 3rd, 2010 at 10:14 PM ^
That is a fast group of guys. Denard may just be caught from behind for the first time in his life.
February 3rd, 2010 at 10:37 PM ^
1). The scouts who said Fitz didn't have breakaway speed were clearly full of shit. 10.74? That's faaaasssst.
2). MRob had a 22-8ft long jump as a freshman? Damn.
3). Hopefully that 12.05 100m has gone down for Ricardo or was with wind resistance. I'm thinking he's a TE at the next level.
4). No info on high jump?
EDIT: Nope.
Also, as a comparison, if these kids ran their best times at the Big 10 Track & Field Championships, here is where they would have placed:
Denard = 2nd
Demar = 2nd
Fitz = 5th
D.J. = 4th
Of course no one can top Adam Harris and his 10.39.
February 3rd, 2010 at 10:54 PM ^
FWIW no one would have placed at the SEC Outdoor Track and Field Championships.
Trindon Holiday from LSU won the 100m with a 10.01 (!) and not even Adam Harris would have placed.
On the bright side Jeff Demps, the uber-hyped "fastest player on UF" ran an 11.26
February 3rd, 2010 at 10:25 PM ^
Troy Woolfolk's personal bests from the same site are:
100m 10.52s
200m 21.46s

February 3rd, 2010 at 10:32 PM ^
If accurate that is very fast...as was his old man...very fast.
February 3rd, 2010 at 10:31 PM ^
Just Checked Demetrius Hart's times..alright..but i thought they were going to be better.
100m Dash = 11.19
200m Dash = 23.28
Long Jump = 22-3 ft.
February 3rd, 2010 at 10:37 PM ^
Those are still very good, I view him as a faster Vincent Smith, who is not very fast at all.
February 3rd, 2010 at 10:43 PM ^
Yeah good point, but he sure does have one hell of a long jump. Him and half the guys i listed up above
February 3rd, 2010 at 10:51 PM ^
some of those long jump stats are impressive. anything in the 22 range is good
February 3rd, 2010 at 10:53 PM ^
our school's record holder in the 200 missed out on some of those times by more than half a second
February 3rd, 2010 at 11:10 PM ^
this is why RR will take us to another level - watch out Big Ten. Here we come...
February 3rd, 2010 at 11:45 PM ^
I ran a 10.81 in the 100, 21.93, 200 and a 49.19 in the 400 i also long jumped 22'1.25...so i find it hard to believe that josh furman who runs a 4.3 can only run a 11.02 cuz i only run a 4.49
February 3rd, 2010 at 11:55 PM ^
First of all, Furman does not run a 4.3. He's fast, but at last year's NFL combine there was one guy who ran a 4.3. Secondly, just because he's faster than you in the 40 doesn't mean he's faster than you in the 100. He's not huge, but Furman is a good size guy, so he could be very explosive but not have top end speed.
February 4th, 2010 at 12:05 AM ^
yea i know that he isnt faster then me on the track because he has a faster 40, but ive seen in many articles and on gobluewolverine that he runs a 4.3 but seeing he runs a 11.02 i know for sure he doesnt run a 4.3
February 4th, 2010 at 12:13 AM ^
Don't get me wrong, if your times are accurate, you are a fast guy, faster than the bulk of any D1 football team, M included.
February 4th, 2010 at 12:14 AM ^
Denard Robinson: 100m Dash = 10.44, 200m Dash = 21.89, Long Jump = 20-5.5 ft.
Demar Dorsey: 100m Dash = 10.53, 200m Dash = 21.48, Long Jump = 21-4.25 ft.
I dont buy these either, I follow and know track very well, and anybody who runs a 10.44 long jumps MUCH farther than 20'5.5 and 10.53 to a 21'4.25. The long just should really be called "run fast, jump high" because u run as fast as u can and jump as high as u can and your speed carries you to a long distance. i ran a 10.81 and jumped 22+ so these guys can jump alot farther than the times listed
February 4th, 2010 at 12:50 AM ^
Bad form and technique, especially of they don't often do that event? Just a possible guess...
February 4th, 2010 at 12:04 PM ^
U can say form, but i didnt have great from and apparently i can long jump farther then them. These guys are way to fast and have 35+ inch verticals they are to explosive to not jump 22+
February 4th, 2010 at 12:19 PM ^
Long jumping over 20 feet for a high schooler is not bad. Like Beeks said, maybe they just didn't have a lot of LJ training and practice.
I had a buddy on our track team in high school who ran a 10.7 100m, and the coach would throw in to LJ in a handful of meets. He would jump around 20 feet or so, no more. He never practiced it, but the coach knew, depending on which teams we were competing against, he could have him long jump and he'd place.
Could be a similar situation.
