Charles Fischer Administrator No. 1 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Khamari Terrell is a three star on Rivals, but he is the fastest quarter-miler on the track in the nation. Raw with huge upside; was offered by Clemson, Baylor, Florida, LSU and USC as well. 3 Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
30Duck No. 2 Share Posted January 28, 2022 It's looking good for Florence lately. Could the Ducks lock down both sides of the field now? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Ducky No. 3 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Can’t teach speed, this kid seems to have it along with stamina. The 400 is one of the toughest to run in track. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Fischer Author Administrator No. 4 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Oh, that would be a contest to me as to which I hated worse...the 400 or the 800! Of course that was 49 years ago, and I did not exactly have the right body profile. Both were a struggle... 3 Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it's basically a long sprint! I ran it a life time ago...that and the 800. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
30Duck No. 7 Share Posted January 28, 2022 I preferred the 400 to the 200, and actually the 800 over both, more time for a kick at the end. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The post Pete Carroll era where they wanted to put DAT on defense. What a joke putting that much talent on the defensive side of the ball. This is what has made Oregon great for decades, put the speed on the O side and let the D try and keep up. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucca0923 No. 20 Share Posted January 29, 2022 I was on the Oregon track team as a freshman (javelin) and was around our sprinters for some workouts, The guys who ran the 400 always seemed to be the best all around athletes on the team, next to the pole vaulters. It’s a gut bomb race. Years later, my daughter was about to run her first 400 in a middle school track meet. I joked to her before the start that in the 400, if you don’t puke at the end of the race, you probably weren’t running hard enough. She went wide eyed. And then she went out and torched the field by at least 20 meters. Didn’t puke though. She still brings that story up. Sometimes, it’s just fun being a parent. 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LADuck No. 21 Share Posted January 29, 2022 Here is my speed story ... played all sports but primarily baseball growing up. I was no track star but better than average speed. Long story short I run into an old friend from school. We were both 40 years old at the time. Anyway, he tells me he is playing in a hardball league down here in Long Beach and asked if I wanted to play. I was better than him back in the day so thought if he is playing no big deal count me in. First game I get lucky and hit a line drive in the gap. Remember how when you play baseball you know when you hit it in the gap hard it is an easy double. My brain thinks that very thought. Problem was I am now 40 and not quite as fast. I swear it felt like it took me five minutes to get to 2nd base. I kept thinking when am I going to get there...lol. The outfielder missed the cutoff man or I would have been out by a good ten feet. My friend had a good laugh. At least I didn't pull a hammy. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudslide No. 22 Share Posted January 29, 2022 (edited) I'm old enough that there was no 400m when I ran track. We had the 440 yard run...long before the metric world came to the U.S. My last run almost killed me and left me with lasting heart problems. No sirree. That long sprint isn't for the weak of mind or body. And I think I must have been both. And now that I'm a really really old grey beard (mustache that is), I can see that old age isn't for amateurs...or former, crappy 440 athletes.
