Did not see much of Destrehan's Kristian Mosley this spring, but can't forget his state runner-up finish last spring in 5A in the 200 meter dash with a 21.29 clocking. We did see Mosley this past indoor season for his senior year when rolled to a 7.04 clocking in the 60 meter dash at LSU High School Classic. He was a state qualifier and finalist in the 200 meter dash from his freshmen to junior year of high school and broke 11 seconds for the 100 meter dash in several meets over the years.
