It’s that time of year as the track seasons start to wind down to take a look at the football players (particularly the Gridironstuds.com members) that are getting it done on the track.\u00a0 These athletes have traded in their helmets for the tank top and track spikes and have shown their versatility by heating up the synthetic rubber.<\/p>\n
You have to start with the fastest man in the country and that’s Ryan Lankford<\/a> of Paxon Advanced Studies School in Jacksonville.\u00a0 Lankford has committed to Illinois to play football this Fall and will take his 10.41 speed to Champagne to try and help the Fighting Illini climb back up the Big Ten standings.\u00a0 Lankford’s 10.41 time is tops in the nation.<\/p>\n 2010 Miami Hurricanes signee Latwan Anderson<\/a> (pictured right<\/em>) from Glenville H.S. in Ohio\u00a0 has heated up the track in a big way.\u00a0 Anderson has moved from a very successful season on the football field to an equally as impressive season on the track.\u00a0 Anderson currently holds the fastest time in the country in the 200 with a 20.92 clocking last Saturday at the Maralyn H. West Invitational.\u00a0 However,\u00a0 that’s not all,\u00a0 Anderson also holds the fourth fastest time in the country in the 400 meters with a time of 48.42 also run last week at the Maralyn West Invitational.\u00a0\u00a0 The football standout signed a track scholarship with the Hurricanes in March,\u00a0 one month after the February 4th National Letter of Intent Signing Date.\u00a0 It was a move met with some skepticism but Anderson is proving that move to be fruitful signing for both the track and football teams at the University of Miami.<\/p>\n Yet another top performer from the Gridironstuds.com members is St. Thomas Aquinas’ Cody Riggs<\/a>.\u00a0 The 2010 Florida signee and defending Florida state champ in the 300 meter hurdles currently holds the top time in the event this year with a time of 36.51.\u00a0 He also ranks 2nd in the 110 meter hurdles nationwide with a time of 14.03 and he ranks 6th in the long jump with a mark of 23′-2.5″.<\/p>\n Other Gridironstuds.com football players turned track athletes performing well in the sprints are:\u00a0\u00a0 Shane Wynn<\/a>,\u00a0 Anderson’s teammate at Glenville.\u00a0 Wynn has posted a 10.60 in the 1o0 meters making him tied for 14th overall in the country.\u00a0 Wynn also has a 21.45 in the 200 meters under his belt this season.\u00a0 Crenshaw (California) High School’s De’Anthony Thomas<\/a> laid down a 10.67 in the 100 meters and a 21.48 in the 200 meters.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Miami Northwestern’s Corvin Lamb<\/a> who will play for Louisville in 2010\u00a0 has a 2010 best of 10.78 in the 100 meters.<\/p>\n Class of 2011 wide receiver Phillip Dorsett<\/a> of St. Thomas Aquinas (Florida) has bests of 10.79 in the 100 meters, 21.97 in the 200 meters, 15.05 in the 110 meter hurdles, 39.14 in the 300 meter hurdles and has a nationally ranked mark of 47′ 9.50 in the Triple Jump.\u00a0 Oh and by the way,\u00a0 Dorsett is also a member of Aquinas’ 400 meter and 1600 meter relay teams.\u00a0 He is the most versatile track athlete in this report.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Douglas High School (Florida)\u00a0 junior Orville Reynolds<\/a> has a 10.80 clocking in the 100 meters to his credit this 2010 outdoor season.\u00a0 2010 Florida St. signee Lamarcus Joyner<\/a> of St. Thomas Aquinas (Florida) has a 100 meter best of 10.83.\u00a0\u00a0 8th Grade sensation Sony Michel<\/a> from American Heritage Plantation (Florida) clocked a 10.82 yesterday in his district meet.\u00a0\u00a0 Yes,\u00a0 I did say 8th grade.<\/p>\n LSU 2010 signee Kadron Boone<\/a>,\u00a0 wide receiver from Trinity Catholic in Florida has a 100 meter best of 10.87.\u00a0\u00a0 2010 Ohio St. signee Corey Brown from Cardinal O’Hara (Pennsylvania) is ranked 28th in the country in the 200 with a time of 21.80.\u00a0\u00a0 Louisville 2010 signee Michaelee Harris<\/a> from Miami Northwestern is 9th in the country in the 400 with a time of 48.65.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It’s that time of year as the track seasons start to wind down to take a look at<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":44,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[6,328,469,224,5,100,228,472,422,471,341],"class_list":["post-1561","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-high-school","tag-cody-riggs","tag-corvin-lamb","tag-deanthony-thomas","tag-kadron-boone","tag-lamarcus-joyner","tag-latwan-anderson","tag-michaelee-harris","tag-orville-reynolds","tag-phillip-dorsett","tag-ryan-lankford","tag-shane-wynn"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gridironstuds.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1561","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gridironstuds.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gridironstuds.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gridironstuds.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/44"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gridironstuds.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1561"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/gridironstuds.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1561\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gridironstuds.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1561"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gridironstuds.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1561"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gridironstuds.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1561"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
