Locke, Lamar, Earn Preseason All-America Honors


Chamberlain’s Dentarius Locke and Hillsborough’s Lindsey Lamar have been named to Track & Field News’ preseason All-American team in the sprints.

Locke, the defending Class 4A state champion in the 100-meter dash, is ranked sixth among returning seniors for that event with his personal best time of 10.43 seconds. Lamar, fourth in the 3A 100 state finals despite stumbling out of the blocks, stands No. 11 in the nation with his wind-aided mark of 10.35.

Locke also made the preseason team in the 200 with his personal record of 21.01, the time he ran to earn second in the 4A state meet. Locke went on to win both events in the AAU Junior Olympic Nationals and last week moved to the No. 2 spot in the nation for 55 meters indoors with his time of 6.35 at the Jimmy Carnes meet in Gainesville. Locke will sign his National Letter of Intent for track with Tennessee on Thursday at Chamberlain.

Lamar recently signed a football scholarship with the University of South Florida but says he still plans to run track for the Bulls.
