          I heard he's going to school in the US, but not running 🙁

          Sorry, mike.

          Wow, what a slap in the face to whatever school he does go to. You got one of the top 5 200 runners in the world at your school and he's NOT running for you.

          He is going to school in Jamaica. He has decided to remain in Jamaica. I haven't heard any talk of him going to the US. He is also a pro so can't run in NCAA. He signed with PUMA last year at World Champs.

          You've already got it straight. 19.93 at either 17 or 18 years old. That's Obea Moore territory right there….and then some.

          What would running for a school do for him? He's already fast enough to get paid so why run for peanuts when you can get steak instead? I'm not knocking any of the schools in the US, but it would help him about as much as college basketball would have helped LaBron James-nice, but not all that necessary.

          400..or anyone…

          Whatever ended up happening with Obea? He dropped off the face of the earth so to speak.

          Good point, I hope he has or finds a good coach that will enable him to continually improveand won't overtrain and burn him out. Btw, did anyone see those Puma commercials that Usain and other Jamaican sprinters are in?
