NHS’s fastest sprinter, Zack Race

NORWICH – The prototype athlete is usually what college and pro-level coaches talk about.

However, student-athletes in the high school realm can also be that prototype, and not even know it yet.

Enter sprinting phenom, Zack Race.

Rewind to two years ago and ‘Racer’, as they call him, had never even stepped on a track to compete.

Race, now just a junior in high school already is the outright owner of nine Norwich High School Track and Field sprinting records.

Race is closing in on the end of just his second year of competing in varsity Track and Field, and now owns the following records:

• NHS school record in the 100m dash at 10.7 hand held and 10.93 FAT

• NHS school record in the 200m dash at 21.83 FAT

• NHS school record in the 4x100m relay at 43.83 FAT

• REK record in the 100m dash at 11.03 FAT

• REK record in the 200m dash at 22.42 FAT
