I’m a sprinter and all my times are good but I don’t know if I could do 100, 200, and 400. My coach says I can’t because the trainings are different, but Xavier Carter a triple crown state champion in those events seemed quite fine doing it. But what I worry about is I also do the long jump and triple jump. I’m no decathlete, so should I limit my events or is it possible to suceed at all of them. If theres a plan for this id like to know.

p.s. I do relays

Xavier is an anomoly. Most people would be best concentrating on either the 100m & 200m or 200m & 400m.

Mike, what kind of results do you think we’ll see out of Xavier this upcoming season? Is the focus short sprints or longer sprints with him?

I have no idea yet. He hasn’t started practicing yet. Coach Shaver gave him and Bennie Brazell (Olympian 400mH, who also plays football for us) some time off before coming out to train. They both start practicing next week.
