Previous record 7.62 held by me(Wayne Davis), Terrence Trammell(2004 Olympic silver medalist 110 hurdles)

Current record 7.60 held by me WAYNE C. Davis II YAY!!!!

Imagine if I had broken this record without a sprained ankle. Hmmmmmmm. 

Ladies and Gentlemen witness yet another record, but this time w/ a twist and a long story leading up to the moment I broke this 14 year old NATIONAL record. In short I was playing basketball in school I slam dunked and I came down and landed on my ankle and twisted it 9 days before my race day in Boston. Luckily I sprained it and I was on spring break. I went through 9 grueling days of just laying in bed elevating my ankle with pillows and icing it every 30 minutes to get the grapefruit sized swelling out of it. To this day Sunday March 22, 2009 the swelling isnt completely down and it still looks a little enlarged and feels soft. Especially since I hurt it more by running on it soooo fast, like 7.60 fast! IT was 1000% worth the pain, because I won and received more press coverage for it :-) WHOOP!!! IT WAS TRULY A BLESSING!!!! Here are some links to my interviews with the full story, and the first link is of some pics of the race.
YOU CHECK OUT THE PICS, BECAUSE I FELL IF U DIDNT C IT LOOK AGAIN! THE LAST FEW PICTURES FALLING PICS R REALLY FUNNY LOL!

IN CONCLUSION..........

  • ha! Kaydo110 u speak with pure ignorance... im just a smidge taller than david payne the 2008 110h OLYMPIC SILVER MEDALIS... We measured ourselves when I talked w/ him in the warmup area in Eugene. Most people dont realize height is only a big factor if u dont know how to adapt to it. COLIN JACKSON was only an inch taller than me also... 12.92... DO YOUR RESEARCH before u speak.
