    Jordan Vaughn out of Mcdonough, GA. He attends Union Grove M.S. He runs the 200m in 22.8 and the 100m in 11.3. His sister is in 7th grade (Breanna Vaughn) and she runs a 21.1 in the 100m dash. He also broke the 200m and 100m record at the 2006 AAU Championships in the sub-youth age group with those times.

    No offense, but why not a thread about who has the fastest 3 year old?
    Who is the fastest at age 13 is just about as trivial. How fast someone is is not the least bit important until they are 17, when colleges start looking seriously at them for scholarships. It is really easy to overdo the training for young kids in a quest to make them the fastest 6 or 8 or 10 or 12 year old in the city/state/country. Some really fast youngsters will go on to become really fast high schoolers/collegiates/post-collegiates, but a whole lot of them will decide to quit running because: a. they aren't getting much better, while a whole lot of people around them are, and b. they are sick of running. Just something to think about.
