a few years back when Snyder was still HC the team was broken up into groups to compete against each other in different events during off-season conditioning. During that competition Jordy ran against Figurs in a 75 yard sprint...Jordy won it.
Figurs has a better 40 time but Jordy is a horse.
Yes, Jordy is much faster than given credit. Like some posts in this thread stated...Jordy pulled a sweep of the sprints at the state track meet and broke records for his division at the state meet in the 100 and 200. He also ran a 48-something quarter mile. I think he may have won the long jump too.
KSU head track coach Rovelto begged Nelson to be a decathlete as he believed he could be an olympian in the decathlon. Rovelto, for those who don't know, is world reknown as a coach of the multi-events (decathlon, pentathlon, etc.). In track the better college coaches are not just working for the University...world-class athletes often train under them and the coach supplements what they make as a collegiate coach w/ funding provided by sponsors, international govt, etc.
