I have been looking at the all of the stats from the seoal and there are some increadable athletes. Who was the best in each event group, sprints hurdles, distance throws and jumps.

On the girls side I would say. F.Close Galia Academy in the hurdles. She was a beast especially in the 300's and on there relays

On the boys side I would say-counting league top top 12 starting 1980

While at Logan, the best, the very best athlete we ever had, yet shied away from success, was John Cosgrove. He was about 5'8" tall and high jumped 6"8"; long jumped 23' plus; ran the 100 in 10.7; high hurdles in 13.9; the 300's - one time - in sub 40; do not remember his 200 time. I remember him going over to the shotput and grabbing a shotput and tossing it about 45' on his first effort, he did much the same in the discus and walked over to the pole vault, had never had a vaulting pole in his hand, I gave him quick instruction, and his first time over a crossbar cleared 11' - on his very first attempt ever. I did my best to encourage him to become a decathalete in college but he refused to run 400's and thinks he would have "died" running the 1500. With his ability, natural strength, abundance of fast twitch muscle fibers and potential I think he could have competed in the Olympics in the decathalon. We had some other very, very good athletes in Dan Starner, Austin Rohr, Ashton Sundgren, and Allen Brandon but in my opinion John had the most potential of all of them. Coy Blair was hell on wheels in his two events and i think he, too, has Olympic potential.

Cosgrove was a natural

noreply - Cox in the pole vault is from Marietta.

Cosgrove was most naturally talented athlete I have seen in my years around the SEOAL. He was fun to watch.
