yeah i've known people like that, it gets frustrating, especially when you put in all of the hard work and dedication to better yourself, and they still come out on top. don't worry about it so much, colleges n such don't always look at your times alone, they also check your attitude and commitment as well.

I bet he had fun getting 2 and a half weeks away from school, between NAIAs, Commonwealth Games, and spring break!

An update on Donald Thomas:

He is now in grad school at Auburn and jumped 7-6.50 (2.30) at University of Florida today, just over a year after he first started high jumping.
