As the debate of multi-sport athletes vs. specialization rages on, a California football and track star has added a tally to the argument for spreading yourself out.
Rodrick Pleasant, a four-star cornerback at Junipero Serra (Gardena, Calif.), proved that his dominance on the football field extends to the track. Pleasant set the California wind-legal record in the 100-meter dash at the Southern Section Masters Meet on Saturday.
His time of 10.14 seconds at the Southern Section Masters Meet broke the record of 10.25, which was set 37 years ago, according to the Los Angeles Times. For a race to be wind-legal, the tailwind cannot exceed than 2.0 meters per second.
