what do you guys think about holliday victory in the mens 60m dash?
After a two-hour workout, Holliday ran the 40 in 4.28 seconds for the coaches, wearing high top basketball shoes. The time was so outragerous that the LSU coaches began arguing if they had started their stopwatches on time. “They asked me if Trindon could run it again,” Masterson said. “He didn’t even get in a track stance. He ran the second 40 in 4.27. He’s one of those little freaks of nature.”
Dennis Shaver, LSU’s track coach, can only stare at his stopwatch and smile when Holliday scorches to another win in track season. “Even at maximum speed, he seems to find another gear that you don’t know exists until he’s put into a situation that he needs to shift,” Shaver said. “I can see it when he plays football. He’ll be going along, he sees a hole and then he hits another gear.”
Because LSU is host to the state high school indoor and outdoor championships, Shaver was able to track Holliday throughout his high school career.
He knew what an explosive package was about to fall in his lap. But he still is amazed every time he watches the fuse light on the mini powder keg as Holliday blows bigger and longer-gaited runners away. “Normally when you see somebody running world-class times, that’s not the physique you associate running those times,” Shaver said. "There have been only a few athletes that small running anywhere near those kind of times. “Trindon is very powerful, he creates a lot of force into the track. He’s an outstanding accelerator. But his biggest asset is he has tremendous stride frequency.”
Which basically means the little man can pick em’ up and put 'em down so fast that even in slow motion his legs are a blur. “It was a problem for us last year when we ran Trindon some on the first leg of our relay,” Shaver said. “It’s a challenge for our second leg runner to know when to take off, because you can’t see when Trindon’s feet are hitting the mark.”
i think he has potential to set a world record at some point. i dont think his start was relatively good, and he still ran 6.60. college football has some fast athletes, with C.J. spiller running his 6.58 also, wonder what they would run if track was their only thing.
Holliday is fun to watch
cj is fast even with the old school training at clemson. Holliday and a WR would be kool.
Pretty cool to see these guys play football too. They both play really fast. I wonder if these guys plan on playing in the NFL instead of track?
Both of these guys will play in the nfl, cj will be a first round draft pick.
imagine if you are CJ, you run a 6.58 and you cant even claim the fastest pr on the football team, and i think his pr puts him third currently at clemson, yikes. jacoby ford running 6.52 and 6.53 last year was insane!
im curious how fast these guys could be if they train under cf or someone who follow a s-l setup.
LMAO i don’t even want to think about that one…
I love to know what these guys do in training…
How technically good are they or is it just raw power?
I give you a sample, try 100m sled pulls.
