Darby Dominates Maryland State Track Meet!


University of Notre Dame football commitment Ronald Darby -- who's a junior at Potomac High School -- is racing this weekend at the Maryland High School Track & Field State Championship.

You'll find links below to a video of Ronald winning the 100 Meter Dash (10.37 official time) -- it's the third race on the video.  A video of his win in the 200 Meter Dash (20.88 official time) -- a video of his anchor leg win in the 4 x 100 Relay and his anchor leg win in the 4 x 200 Relay win.

FYI:  Both of these times would be among the top 50 in the current NCAA Division 1 rankings for the 100 Meters and 200 Meters this season.  Don't forget he's a junior in high school!

An additional point of reference -- a 20.88 would be the second fastest time ever run by a Notre Dame student-athlete in the 200 Meters.  Only one ND track athlete has ever run under a 20.90 in the 200 meters in school history. 
  •  2011 Big East Championship Time in 200 Meters:  21.05
  • 2011 Big East Championship Time in 100 Meters:  10.44
Ronald competed in four events (4X100 Meter Relay and 4X200 Meter Relay as well) -- winning a State Championship in each race.  Congratulations!
