    Smile Banderas wins Class A hurdles

    I think some folks are going to be surprised just how good of an athlete this youngman is when he steps on campus....


    Husker football recruit Josh Banderas had himself a very good day at the state track meet in Omaha.The Lincoln Southwest standout won the Class A 110 hurdles. Impressive for anyone, but especially a 220-pound linebacker.

    14.53 in the hurdles is a great time for any kid. Being a 220 pound linebacker and having that time, very impressive.

    I weighed 220 in high school, but the only records I set as a hurdler were "most hurdles broken in a race" and "most hurdles broken in a season". I can still hear the coach cursing me and complaining that his budget didn't allow for purchasing that many new hurdles.

    I think being a champion high hurdler means speed, power, agility and technique. At 220 lbs, this guy has plenty of upside as a linebacker.

    Equally as impressive is Curtis Cotton's son, Kenzo. He broke state records in the 200m and nearly the 100m and he is (in the voice of Keith Jackson) "only a soph-o-more". Lets see if his football skills continue to develop.

    He appears to be a very impressive athlete... I'm glad he is "N" already.

    No mentioning of Josh throwing the bows at the track meet yet.....It was great to see, IMO. I look forward to seeing what this kid can do the new few years in Lincoln. And Kenzo is going to be a hell of an athlete when it's all said and done. Very humble kid. Hope he stays home after high school also.
