Tate Taylor, a 17-year-old from Texas, ran 9.92 seconds in the 100m to break the national high school record on Saturday.
Taylor, a junior at San Antonio Harlan High School, ran the historic time at the Texas State Championships in Austin.
He broke the high school record of 9.93 seconds set by Floridian Christian Miller in 2024, according to Track and Field News.
Before Saturday, nobody at Taylor’s age (17 years, 7 months, according to track and field statistics website Tilastopaja.info) or younger had ever broken 10 seconds in a wind-legal race, according to World Athletics.
