I hope I am not boring everyone with all these posts...
Here is a HS speedster from New Mexico, Jacob Roper.
His best time is 10.53.
He looks pretty built, and apparently he's a pretty good WR too.

Not boring at all. Great job of identifying these young track athletes.

Didn't want to start a thread but was wondering if anyone(jacknyc) had info about a fellow named Chip Rish. He was California 400 meter champ in '85 running 45.7. Beat Danny Everett in final by several meters.

Chip was a super stud at the 400 in high school!
Unfortunately, he didn't do much at all in college. I am not sure why.
You can watch him win the State Championship and beat Danny Everett in the process at this link:
