Offense, Defense or Olympics?

10.95 is decent this time of year. About 40 degrees at the time of this race. This was obviously not the finals based on the other runners. If he gets a more explosive start he may get down to 10.6. I bet he could be really good at the 200 and 400.

What position are we looking at him for? WR? or are we thinking defense.
I imagine we’re leaving it open. I know he’s bonded with Mickey Joseph, but I keep hearing we may be really interested in his pass rushing potential.
At least publicly he said he’s open to whatever.

They mention DB also, but I see WR / pass rusher being most likely.

We will only have a chance to land him if Frost turns it around this year and has a good season. But if Frost lays another turd I think Coleman goes elsewhere...

I mean, it's a Nebraska high school track meet. We're we expecting a field full of world class sprinters? Coleman looks like a long strider, really covers ground.

It kind of feels like that little league game you know you're going to get killed, so you save your ace for the first game of bracket play.

Saw it live. It was 50 degrees, wind at his back. A kid in the next heat from East (Miles) ran an 11.10, for second place. This was just an open meet with JV and Varsity mixed. No finals. So he was likely running against some JV kids. 19 heats of 100 meter runners! Malachi is fast for sure. Would like to watch those 2 in the same heat next time though. would have been neck and neck.

Isn’t 10.95 and 11.1 a decent gap in the 100? Not sure that is neck and neck

That's a good format for an early meet. Get a bunch of kids out there and get a time on them.

He's going to contend for a gold medal in the triple jump. The dude is a stud. Reminds me of Fant.

I’d be surprised if he wins the triple jump. Grossrode kid from Pius has already put up a 47’10” jump. That is well beyond last year’s state champ.

Wow, didn't realize that. 47' 10" is a pretty incredible jump.

VERY good time considering his size, age, time of year, weather, and such.

Side note...did 2nd place in that race run 12+? Yikes.
Hey can somebody fill me in with that kid from North Platte. Wins 220 class a wrestling, then posts 10.85 in the 100. I see he’s going to Montana. What’s holding him back from better offers? (Sorry if already discussed)

I’ll say this…he’s better than 2 other guys from Nebraska’s 2021 class from Nebraska.

Edit: 2022 class
