Mississippi Senior Heros 2020
JaRule Melvin, Tylertown High State Championships 200 Meters 2018.
JaRule Melvin, Tylertown ran his 21.56, 200 meter run while competing for XCEL athletics so that time was not in his personal records. I have merged his profiles so that time will be added to his PR's. To think that this young man is unsigned makes me wonder about the coaches out there.
