Yeah, my 4.7 was when I was in the best shape of my life. I'd just been through 9 weeks of college football conditioning and had put everything into it. I ran a 5 flat in high school, so 4.7 was a great improvement...especially given that I'd put on about 25-30 lbs since high school. Jesus, I wish I was in that kind of shape today. It's only been 9 years ago...but nine years of no intensive workouts and drinking can do a number on you. When you go from eating whatever you want and not worrying about calorie intake to not burning any real kind of calories it's tough.
As for my brother, he ran a 10.99 100 yard dash in high school. That is stupid fast. He played football his freshman and sophomore year, but not past that. He became really focused on his wrestling/track career...I wish he'd stuck with football though.
