“A highly recruited football prospect, the three-sport standout scorched his way to a time of 10.15 seconds in the 100-meter dash at the Texas Relays. Gatlin concluded a junior season in which his personal bests in both his events now rank in the all-time Top 20 for prep boys.”

Athletic Excellence

The 6-foot-2, 195-pound junior broke the tape in the 100-meter dash at the Texas Relays with a time of 10.15 this past season, a state-record clocking that ranked No. 5 in the nation among boys prep competitors in 2023. Bair swept both the 100 and 200 titles in Class 4A at the state meet. His personal-best 200 time this spring 20.41 ranked No. 3 in the nation among prep boys in 2023, and his top times in the 100 and 200 both ranked among the top 20 clockings in U.S. prep history in those events.
