Around SBN: Interview With UMD Athletic Director, Dr. Debbie Yow

Jamaal Charles

For those who think that Ramonce Taylor is the fastest Longhorn running back.  This is what Jamaal Charles did over the weekend at the Big 12 track and field championships.

"Charles' weekend started off by posting the fastest qualifying time (10.32) in the 100-meter prelims. He was also the top qualifier in the 200 meters with a 20.89 clocking. The next day, Charles won his first Big 12 title, the 100 meters, in a time of 10.23. He had a great chance to break the meet record of 10.19, but he slowed down over the last five meters to conserve energy. Charles mixed in another 100 meters as the third leg of the 4x100-meter relay that finished second (39.65). Then, because Texas had the meet in hand, he, along with head coach Bubba Thornton, decided not to run in the final of the 200 meters."

Another thing on Charles
in his column on CBS Sportsline, Dodds named him as a heisman candidate.  That may be a bit optimistic, but speaks to his talent.

I'm no sprinter, but....
how much energy could he possible preserve on the final 5 meters? Is he going to be that much more tired for finishing out those last 5 meters which would be what, maybe 2 steps?

Like drinking a case of beer and then saying "I really shouldn't have drank that last beer".

i understand your point but that last beer usually is the difference between fun night and violent vomitting
