Baylor's Jeremy Wariner Dashes to 400 Gold
Oh hell yeah!
Wariner shot through the field in 44 seconds flat to win the 400 gold. This kid has an amazing future ahead of him. 400 Sprinters don't usually peak for a coupole of years out of college. This guy could make a serious run at former Baylor 400 sprinter Michael Johnson's world record soon. It just solidifies Baylor's reputation as Quartermiler U. |

RE:Baylor's Jeremy Wariner Dashes to 400 Gold
I know him. I went to school with him from elementary through high school. I even had a chance to date him but he was trying to hook me up with his friend even though he really liked me. Damn I was stupid. hes a great guy Really nice Everyone at Lamar High School thought he would be something special and he is. Congrats to him.

That boy was smooth--ran a pretty race, although he needs to drop his Vanilla Ice impersonation and go in for a total bling makeover.
North Texas has put out a couple of pretty fair quarter milers in the last 15 years, huh. |

Do I know you? I teach at Lamar. I never had the chance to meet Jeremy though I have heard much about him. At our faculty lunch the Friday before school started, we donated over $1100 for Coach Nelson (Jeremy's high school track coach) so he could go to Greece and watch Jeremy run. From what I understand, Jeremy had high hopes of being a football star when he was in 9th grade. Coach Nelson saw him running one day and encouraged him to go out for track. He wasn't interested, but with a little persuasion, he decided to give it a shot. Now he is a gold medalist! Pretty cool stuff.

RE: Baylor's Jeremy Wariner Dashes to 400 Gold
Jeremy wanted to play football here, but when the old coaching staff failed to offer him a scholarship, he went right to Clyde Hart and the world class track program. Thank goodness for that. It's probably the only decision that the former coaching staff made that actually worked.
Also, it was great to see Michael run down from the BBC booth and hug Jeremy. I know both are tremendously excited. I can't wait until he returns to campus. Sic' em Bears. |

RE:Baylor's Jeremy Wariner Dashes to 400 Gold
Mavsfan7,
Do I know you? I teach at Lamar. I never had the chance to meet Jeremy though I have heard much about him. At our faculty lunch the Friday before school started, we donated over $1100 for Coach Nelson (Jeremy's high school track coach) so he could go to Greece and watch Jeremy run. From what I understand, Jeremy had high hopes of being a baseball star when he was in 9th grade. Coach Nelson saw him running one day and encouraged him to go out for track. He wasn't interested, but with a little persuasion, he decided to give it a shot. Now he is a gold medalist! Pretty cool stuff. Reafformvp, Im not sure. What did you teach, what grade and what was your last name. I graduated the same year as Jeremy in 2002. Knew him pretty well during elementary, junior high and the early years of high school. Let me know. Thanks |

Capitalcity, I am assuming you graduated from Arlington. I did too! What year did you graduate? I graduated in 91.

RE: Baylor's Jeremy Wariner Dashes to 400 Gold
Arlington High School Football
1997: 2-8, (1-5) 1998: 2-8, (2-5) 1999: 2-8, (2-5) 10/23/98 @ Maverick Stadium Arlington 48 Martin 28 we never did beat the vikings, but we never really cared. Raef - I could throw out some names of the class of 91 but it would be mostly older siblings of kids i ran with. Arlington High has changed a lot since i was there. How do you like Lamar? and what is it - English or Pre-AP English?
