American Heritage running back and hurdler Walter Tucker

[TheMatador]

Walter Tucker ran the 11th best 110h time in the country this year. He actually beat Burns this year though I believe Burns was recovering from something. Burns was second in the country last year. They are both elite fast and if you put pads on them their hurdle times won't mean much, From watching video Burns seems faster in pads and a better player over all.

The difference in hurdle height is 3 inches.

When you click through to his page, you see that he has not run an exceptional 100 meters--only 11.43. He must be strong, since he throws the discus.

It looks like he hasn't ran the 100 in a while, but the hurdles are a different kind of sprint.

When it comes to hurdles, it is all technique. A slower kid can beat a faster kid if he has better technique. Now to run the times that Tucker has in the hurdles, he's obviously pretty dang fast, but based off of his football tape, I'm also assuming that part of the reason for his hurdle times are good technique.

His discuss throw isn't very good. and either is his shot put at 45. 180's plus is good for discus to get much attention. While girls throw a ligher discuss Texas A&M has a girl that threw 192 in high school.

Yeah, but how many hurdlers or sprinters throw the discus or shotput? I'm guessing it must be guys considerably bigger. I suspect that his hundred time would be considerably better, though perhaps not elite, if he ran it more. His hurdle times are still pretty impressive. Maybe they're looking at this guy as a speed rusher. Didn't we have a DE a few years back who was a sprinter?

You literally know nothing about track and field, you've already proven that earlier in this thread.

Is his discus throw going to be near the top of actual throwers? No, it's not. However what we have is a very good hurdler that is also, at worst, halfway decent at throwing. That spells out a future decathlete. A sprinter throwing in the 150's for discus and 45' for shot is very, very respectable.

You're an idiot. I saw girls in college consistently throw over 180 this year. Yeah it is a lighter discus but they are still a girl. Shot put gets heavier in college so 45 feet would translate to less than 40 but thats ok because he is a sprinter. He probably just threw discus to score points for his team. I guess his throw is good but nothing to brag about.

You said his throw isn't very good. If you're comparing him to the top throwers in the nation, then yeah, it isn't that good...but that's not what he does. And I don't care what the top girls are throwing, it's irrelevant to this discussion.

For a sprinter, he's a very good thrower. Good potential as a decathlete.

Yes and a decathlete isnt the model you want for a football player.

Exactly why isn't a decathlete what you want for a football player? Seriously, I'd love to hear your explanation. I mean, decathletes typically are known as your best all-around athletes.

Miami Hurricanes football coach Al Golden went into last weekend pondering whether Plantation American Heritage speedster Walter Tucker will make a bigger impact as a linebacker with great lateral movement or a bruising running back with breakaway speed.

Tucker might have swung the pendulum toward toting the football by winning the 110 meters hurdles and leading the Team Florida 400-meter relay team to a nation-leading 40.11 seconds at the Great Southwest Classic in New Mexico on Saturday.

Tucker, who signed with Miami on Monday morning, said getting the green light from Golden to continue his track career at Miami played a big role in picking the Hurricanes over Clemson, Tennessee and Georgia.

“Miami said they would let me play football and run track,’’ Tucuker said. “When coach Golden told me that I had the biggest smile on my face. That is when I knew I could make my decision.”

Tucker clocked 13.95 to beat fellow Florida team member Timothy Holmes for the 110 Hurdles title and then put on a stick exchange clinic with Gibbs’ High School’s Trayvon Bromell, American Heritage teammate Jerimy Strainge and Dr. Phillips’ Reggie Glover to help the Team Florida 4x100 clock 40.11. Tucker said he ran a sizzling 9.20 split on the third leg and Strainge brought Team Florida home on the anchor leg.

“The 40.11 means a lot, ‘’ Tucker said. “Great Southwest is a prestigious track meet. Plus you’re going against 50 other states. We were talking about setting the new top time when we were practicing. We were kind of nervous because we never ran with Reggie and Trayvon. We knew we had the speed but we knew we had to put it all together and run.”
