  • Draconator changed the title to Damn. Tyreek Hill is really, really, fast.

Yes, he is fast. 

But note that this was a Master's Division race.  That wasn't Usain Bolt in the lane next to him.

Um…. Usain Bolt is 36

I don’t know who the guys are he’s racing against, but I’ll never forget what Marquis Goodwin said, who was a speed demon in his own right. He said that he always thought he was fast, but when he raced against legit track athletes he felt slow. He said as fast as he was, those guys are “on a whole nother level.” It’s scary the divide between guys like Marquis and Tyreek and guys like Usain and Asafah. And just for reference, Bolt’s split at 60 yards was a 6.32, which would’ve smoked Tyreek’s 6.70.
 

Watch Christian Coleman’s 4.12 40 yard dash.

4.12 40 Yard Dash

 

EDIT: Also for reference, Hill’s 6.7 60 yard dash would tie him for the 76th fastest guy in NCAA Division 1 track… this season. The fastest NCAA time this year is a 6.51, so he is at least in the neighborhood of collegiate fast, but not Olympic fast.

I think what you're trying to say is, can Bolt catch a football?

The reference was to a name which has become a metaphor for speed.  But thanks for the biographic details.

Maybe you shouldn’t have bothered to include masters race then.

I'm not saying he isn't fast, he smoked our secondary during the playoff game two years ago...however...I follow track and field closely, and that race was borderline rigged. The second-place dude is affiliated with the Pony Express Track and Field Club and the third-place is affiliated with the Dayton Track Club.  C'mmmmmmmmmmon. He's not racing against elite sprinters in this race, nobody is confusing the Pony Express Track and Field Club and its members with Olympic sprint athletes.

 

Just for reference, he ran 6.70 secs, and got 1st. 2nd got 7.27 secs. http://live.finishtiming.com/meets/514614/events/201/results/F/M

 

He would have gotten 8th place with that time (7th place ran 6.69 secs, 1st place ran 6.53 secs), in the 2023 USATF Indoor Championships held back in February. https://www.flipsnack.com/USATF/2023-usatf-indoor-championships-results/full-view.html

 

The WR, American record in the 60M dash was done in 2018 by Christian Coleman at 6.34 seconds (i.e. an elite sprinter). He could basically smoke Tyreek Hill the same way Hill smoked his "competition".
