George Hill stood on the infield at Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium on Friday afternoon and was breathing heavily. It was understandable, of course, as Hill had just run a 100-meter dash in 10.85 seconds in his preliminary heat at the OHSAA Track and Field State Championships.
Despite that time, one many would deem as a quality one, Hill wasn’t entirely satisfied.
“I’ve gotta get a better start,” he said. “I know I can run a better time.”
He’s done it before, too. Hill’s top time in the 100-meter dash is 10.74 seconds — a number which he clocked one week ago at a regional meet.
