Yohan Blake - St. Jago High School (my old high school) @ 2008 Boys Championship in Kingston Jamaica. 2011 World Champion 100 Meters in a time of 9.92s. Now on September 16, 2011 and he ran the second fastest 200M in history at 19.26s. Unbelievable that I was watching and photographing him just two years ago in high school.
