People don’t know how talented he is. He hadn’t ran the 100 since the 8th grade and at his first meet ran not just the best 100 time in the USA for high school kids... he ran the fast 100 time in the ENTIRE USA this year. He also is the top 200.... 400 ... and long jumper in the nation in high school. He is the best high school track star in at least 40 years and he doesn’t have an excessive amount of experience either. He also is strongly considering playing football at UGA next year.

I don't get why people are making a deal out of his race. Why does it matter if he's white, black or mixed? Also it's insulting to insinuate that he must be doing PEDs in order to beat the African American runners.
It's probably been decades since anybody that wasn't of African descent made the olympic finals in the 100. If he grows on this and actually competes for a medal at the olympics he will be quite the amazing outlier.
Tied for 24th in the world. 9th fastest American. Tied for fastest Under 20 time and would be the fastest U18 time by 0.19 seconds. IAAF 100 Meters men 2019
I attended Strake a couple years. Pretty cool a guy from there is doing big things. His race is extremely notable similar to Barack, Linsanity, Bird, or that HS female (sex in this case) dunking.
