philly,
Any udpates on your son's 60yd this year as a 17 year old? I think the later bloomers have bigger jumps at the HS ages. My son's times looked like this over the past couple years, so curious what to expect over the next 2:
Summer before Freshman year: 9.5
Summer before Sophomore year: 8.25
This Summer getting ready to be a Junior: 7.4
I know the rate of decreasing times cant continue, but its interesting to see how they track. I would guess my son is a late bloomer by about 2.5 years, at 5'9, 130lb now.
He ran a 6.82 at a showcase (laser timed) on 4 June, so he is attending another one next week in the hopes of getting down to 6.7...would be nice to hit that time since he just turned 17.
7.83 was as a 14yr 8month (my mistake in the prior post)
He was 7.25 as a 15yr 2month
6.96 as a 16yr 2month
6.82 as a 16yr 11month
He's 6'1 and about 170...still has a lot of filling out to do, so I'm sure his time might get down a tad bit more before its all said and done.
