guess he left HSI and is now with Bill Carson at ECU?

3

Looks like a fairly weak 100m/4x100m team by USA standards.

Why would Leonard leave the man who got him 9.9?

4

Chill dude… :smiley: Doesnt that just mean where you’re from in the US? As far as I know Torri hasnt left HSI yet it has Corona,CA next to her name. From my sources he hasn’t left.

5

No because Kerron Clement is from Trinadad & Tabago then texas then he ran at UF, and Jeremy Wariner is from Arlington, and J-mee is from one of the carolina’s, mark jelks is from St. Louis, and im pretty sure bernard lagat is from kenya or something like that, and im pretty sure a few more of the peoples are not from the places they have listed, im pretty sure those are the places they train at. Also didnt Wlater dix beat j-mee and so did home boy trinden holliday from LSU? Finals
Finals
1 Tyson Gay 9.84M -0.5
2 Trindon Holliday 10.07 -0.5
3 Walter Dix 10.09 -0.5
4 Mark Jelks 10.13 -0.5
5 J-Mee Samuels 10.22 -0.5
6 Leroy Dixon 10.25 -0.5
7 Leonard Scott 10.26 -0.5 [10.251]
8 Darvis Patton 10.26 -0.5 [10.255]
And this is by far tfaster then any one eles 100m mile relay group.Not meaning to hate on j-mee but i dont think he’s broke 10.2 all year…(not sure on that though). Could someone explain to me how they picked the guys for the 100m except T. Gay.
P.S.
I feel that if Dix gets his starts he will beat Gay. Look at film of the championship race…but i might be going out on a lim saying that…

corona is still in CA.

if it listed where you were from gay would be lexington KY, samuels would be winston salem NC, ect.

just wondering if his loss of form was due to a split with HSI or not.

as for holliday and dix, dix publicly said he was shutting his season down after USA T&F nats, and i presume Holliday has LSU football duties.

7

I dont think he has left. it could be a typo? Leonard was born in LA!

8

Interesting twist…

Just checked HSI website…under Scotts profile it says - To be Announced…

!! Has he really left John Smith?
