The Dish: Walton is the top remaining sprinter left on anyone's recruiting board. A member of the Cayman Islands international squad, he made his first world championship appearance last summer and earned his top time of 44.99 seconds -- No. 2 all-time for a high schooler -- at the Pan American Junior Championships. He's gone under 46 seconds six times over his high school career and won a national title in the 400m at Brooks PR. The Miramar (FL) High junior also boasts a huge strength in the 200m and could possibly fill in on a 4x100 team at some point over his college career. Over the last few months, Walton has made visits to Texas A&M, the University of Oregon and the University of Texas.
