That, plus the fact the time was taken off from the end of the 30-40 segment means that sprinters would run more like 4.15-4.20. I’m not sure reaction time was factored into Coach Boyle’s analysis.

I guess your doing something right if Google likes you enough to put you on the first page of a non related search. :) Strange this post is totaly unrelated to what I was searching google for, but it was listed on the first page.

I've seen very mediocre college sprinters run electrically timed 40s under 4.2 without blocks. You can't take a 100m split and assume the first 40m is the fastest 40m that particular sprinter can possibly run. I totally agree that football players need to be much more realistic with their sprinting times, in every way. Thanks for the article, Coach.
