I remember this I was going to Eastern Hills High School at the time in Fort Worth, Texas. I remember cutting the article out the FW Star-Telegram. I cried because I was supposed to go to O.D. Wyatt my older sister graduated from there but we moved out of District when coach cross was trying to recruit me in middle school from Handley Middle but my mom said no. She wanted the rest of her kids to graduate from Hills. I ran for Hills but it wasn't the same.
What’s even more amazing is later that summer the Wesley brothers teamed up with the fastest two legs (twins) from Dunbar who placed 2nd in this race to compete in USA summer track. However in 1998 jr nationals, they loss the 4X100 to Track Houston because D. Wesley was caught by Ben Gay on the 4th leg. Track Houston set a national record that stands till this day for USA summer track league. I have it on tape. It was a three team epic race that sends chills.
@@neanutzwilliams2743 I plan on uploading this year if the VHS tape still works. But Track Houston ran 39.73. Another team I believe from Oregon edged out Hallmark, Wesley’s team, for a close second. They all ran 39. You’ll never see nothing like that again from high schoolers.
Willie Rone yeah I know, them boys was smoking fast. the only advantage O.D. wyatt boys had over Port Arthur was they ran the record in lane 1, can you imagine if Wyatt was in lane 4 or 5? 39.50 's O.D Wyatt probably would have a ran.
Quincy Muhammad I saw them run under 40 In Louisiana...They barely beat our California team mainly from Long Beach Poly...We was shocked, lost money and everything smh..Poly was a handoff away from that record in state too...Not taking nothing away from you'll cause they did it ..Crazy speed that year 💪🏁🏆
What those kids from PA did at the 2017 State meet was about as good as it gets at the HS level. In the Big State, on the Big Stage, with all the marbles on the line, surrounded by elite speed! Those kids did the damned thing. Shout out to Wyatt, though. Impressive as hell from Lane 1.
Wesley came to TCU for a brief second. Spoke with his father at the barber shop. He had baby mama drama while in college. Never reached his full potential. He was being coached by coach Grant out of SOC while at Paul Quinn. Again for a second.
I competed that year in the state meet that same year and was on the field warming up when I saw that race!! Unbelievable that the record still stands to this day. What's even more amazing is the next year in 99 I was arriving at Mike Myers stadium with my coach to get ready for the 5A finals and watched the pole vault national record get beat by a kid from a 3A school. That record was broken but it stood for a very long time. I will never forget this 400 meter relay race as long as I live.
I'm here from watching WFAA news Dallas. Had to see it. Great job guys!!
Speed City is Fort Worth TX. This record is gonna be very hard to beat but teams are getting closer each and every year....39.76
Even more impressive is they were running in lane 1

Went to college with one of the Wesley brothers and we had a blast on and off the track!
Atascocita and their 38.92 says hi.

@@neanutzwilliams2743 Houston ran 39.73. Oakland from California and Hallmark both ran 39.86 but the guys from CA got the 2nd place in a photo finish.

Man I was there live in the flesh....13 years old and in awe. Them dudes were amazing. I'm born and raised in Houston and was amazed by them
Gotta give respect when it's due ✊🏾
The 3rd leg won the race, the 4th got them the record!
still the best
port Arthur boys just ran 39.80 and 123.51 in the 4x2

Willie Rone did you know that Wyatt ran under 40 point 5 times in different states that they where invited too accurate! but P.A done good job.
Quincy Muhammad P.A. speed

Fort Worth, tx👍👍
captain leerox, was it a h.s. team that beat it, because we talking about American h.s. not Jamaican h.s who is 20 yrs old and still in h.s.
Two high schools are now better that OD Wyatt. Records were meant to be broken. Impressive how long it lasted.
Passes where clean as hell

It lasted awhile... but glad the record is staying in TX. (DFW specifically)
I was there they had it from the 1st leg
Where’s the one with NWA playing? 100 Miles and Runnin!
the best split I seen 8.50 from Roosevelt hs
Who was that..Robot?
Nice tunes? Good stuff!
Unbelievable from lane 1

Nice! What is the name of song? Ty for blast of the past Track n field!
I know it wasn't ... but it almost was.
D. Wesley's form was terrible, but damn, he was quick
Wesley is fast at the 200m. In the archives of the uil apparently tory Mitchell from big spring ran a faster time at same meet in the 200
Was this the High School WR at one point?
Auburn Mann it still is the high school national record
I know. Was it ever the world record, though?
Auburn Mann its world record in hs
@@STEVEWILL27 world record my ass...lol
@@Marcking98 why are you lol for? Look it up yourself. This is a High School world record. The fastest teens in their time. Not adult time.
I think this record was beaten :/
I was watching New Balance Nationals and one team ran 39.69
that's club, it doesn't count
2022 and Wyatt still got the record. "Hail to the grand, and glorious blue and white.
