I'll have to correct myself on that. I ran 11.5 in 10th grade, not 11.0. I ran 11.0 in the 11th grade.
That year (10th grade) my school sent me to Track and Field champinships in Toronto Ontario and I got absolutely obliterated. Here I was thinking I was hot shit cause I was schooling everyone in my city (I beat everyone in the 200m race too), but when I got to Toronto that really made me realize how much better the competition was at the championship level, and that my natural talent wasn't enough.
Not to toot my own horn but Im very gifted naturally as an athlete (well not height wise. I'm only 5'7). I'm the very definition of wasted talent and I kind of regret it now. Had I taken things seriously I honestly think I'd be playing a pro sport somewhere.
