One Illinois Boys’ Track takeaway….

Sprints are faster than ever.

Certainly many factors.

One that can’t be discounted in this state is the contributions of Tony Holler and Chris Korfist and the importance of sprinting.

Scientists measured cardiovascular fitness in 1.2 million 18-year-olds, then followed them for 10-36 years.

The fitter they were, the more likely they were to:
1) score higher on intelligence tests
2) earn a university degree
3) reach a higher-status job

Do your cardio.

Rising track star Gout Gout is drawing comparisons to Usain Bolt, the Jamaican eight-time gold medallist, considered the sport’s greatest-ever. Bolt recently said of Gout, “He looks like young me.” https://t.co/8UbCLkjjr9
