Boys 4x100 -
Team Texas (Eisenhower Houston) lives up to US#1 rank
Results - Marc Davis Video - John Sullivan's Story - Pete Cava's Story
Houston Eisenhower TX (Team Texas) ran US#3 all-time 40.05 to win its state title and had high hopes of eclipsing the 39.76 national record at this meet. A 40.82 prelim effort on Friday, with very safe handoffs, kept the hopes alive.
It was not to be. Running a strong race, just not record-caliber, Eisenhower was an easy winner in 40.84, followed by Illinois state champ Cahokia in 41.43.
The foursome of sr Randy Johnson, sr Otis Johnson, sr Frank Eugene, and anchor jr Brandon Myers were pleased, but a bit disappointed afterwards. “It’s been a long season and we’re kind of tired. We wanted the record, but this win is satisfying.” Myers will be contesting the 100 at the US Jr Nationals next week.
With the eyes of Texas – and the nation – upon them,
Eisenhower High School of Houston, competing as Team Texas, blazed to another
victory at the Nike Outdoor Nationals.
The Texans, national high leaders at 40.05, teamed up Saturday for a 40.84
clocking. Team Texas had a great start, thanks to excellent handoffs on the
first and second exchange.
But Cahokia, Ill., High School kept within striking distance through the first
three legs. On the anchor leg, the Texans – dressed in black for Saturday's
final – put the race away and Cahokia had to settle for second with a time of
41.43.
Team Texas won with a lineup of Randy Johnson, Otis Johnson, Frankie Eugene and
Brandon Myers, the same foursome who won Friday's 4x200.
“we came out here and handled our business,” said Myers. “We didn't run like we
wanted to, because we were running all year so we were pretty tired.”
Third place went to West Des Moines (Iowa) Valley High School in 41.68.
