At Tuesday's Cardinal District Indoor Championships, held outdoors with temperatures over 60 degrees on a seasonably warm day, Forest Park junior Mustaqeem Williams warmed the track up even more with his scorching times in the sprints. Williams clocked a jaw-dropping 6.09 fully automatic timed performance in the 55 meter dash, which is only a hundredth of a second off the high school indoor national record (albeit Williams time wouldn't qualify for a national record since it was an outdoor polar bear meet). Williams later came back to win the 300 meter dash in a personal best time of 33.86, which would also be a US #1 time if held indoors. Nonetheless, Williams will likely be the top seed in both events at the state meet with those times at his district meet.
