Two years ago Marvin Bracy was a senior at Boone High School. His first meet of 2012 would take place at the University of Florida's O'Connell Center, home of the Jimmy Carnes Indoor Track and Field Meet. Wearing a lime green and black Adidas speed suit, Bracy was down in the blocks for the start of the 55 meter dash. When the gun fired, Bracy fired out like he was shot out of a cannon. Anticipating the start spot on, he sprinted to one of the best performances I've ever seen crossing the line in 6.08 seconds.
What a weekend! Friday saw the college and several pro standouts hit the track. Marvin Bracy had a nice homecoming winning the 55 meter dash on the same track he set the U.S. national high school record two years prior. Saturday saw the youth and future of our sport get their moment to shine, while the high school age groups showed why Florida is the most revered state in track and field, and invading the indoor national rankings including top ten national performances by Teahna Daniels (55 and 200), Kendal Williams (55 and 200), Daeshon Gordon (55m hurdles), and Kelvin Williams (55m hurdles)!
