Are Florida High School Players Still the Fastest in the Nation?

Of course not all high football players run track but the fastest should. Florida may still be considered the state with the fastest teams with overall speed. Are they? I don’t know. Here is a list of the top 10 fastest football players that run track on the nation. Here are how the leaders ranked with the state they are from.
1. Georgia

Nation's 10 fastest high school football players on the track

You're looking at individuals, I could easily see on any given year where one state might have more athletes with sub 11 second times in the 100 over all other states. If you're going to base it on single athlete time, you'd do better by looking at a list like you posted over a say ten year period....to get a better idea where your speed guys are coming from.

Like that year when Mike Bellamy and Ace Sanders ran against each other at the Regional Meet in Punta Gorda and Stephen King was there to watch. I got him to sign my copy of Duma Key.
