Future Stars: Tupelo High School's Brailin Hodges

PAGES: Calendar | Rankings | Results

Tupelo High School has a new star on the track.

Brailin Hodges is making waves in Mississippi's track and field scene, and it's easy to see why. With a lifetime best of 11.73 in the 100m dash, Hodges is currently the top 100m runner at Tupelo, and he's only an 8th-grader, and he's certainly not showing any signs of slowing down. 

At the South Panola Opener, Hodges placed fourth overall with his impressive time of 11.73 in the 100m dash, taking the win in heat number three.
