[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can go to the PVS site and look up the top 10&u times from 6, 8, 10 years ago and track how those same names fared over time.  I scanned the 2014-2015 list of top 10&u times and noted a lot of the familiar names; kids who stayed at the top of the pack locally as they aged up and were highly ranked college recruits (e.g., Katherine Helms, Sophie Duncan, Erin Gemmell, J. T. Ewing, Aiken Do, Andrew Bolz, Landon Gentry).  People don't like to admit it, but sometimes the fastest kids at 10&u are the fastest 18 year olds too. [/quote]

OK, but most of those kids you named (maybe w/ one exception) were not particularly big at 10, so they are not pertinent to the OP's question. In fact, I don't think any of those boys is particularly big even now. So those kids were not fast as 10 and unders because of their size. They were fast because of their technique, hard work, etc. [/quote]

Maybe the OP should define a lot of success.  I haven't seen any young kids rising to the top of the PVS top times list or winning summer league all-star meets just because they are bigger than their peers.[/quote]
