AUSTIN — When San Antonio Harlan's Tate Taylor shifted into hypersonic speed in the final 30 meters of the Class 6A boys 100 meters at the UIL State Track and Field Championships
there was a strong feeling he had just hit a gear no high school athlete had ever shown before in the greatest high school 100 ever run
After a few moments filled with anticipation
The scoreboard flashed 9.92 seconds with a legal wind of 1.1 meters per second
ahead of Duncanville's Brayden Williams 10.01
and the junior Taylor became the new national record holder
Williams became the third fastest 100 runner ever in a race where 10.18 was fifth (the old state record was 10.13) and 10.33 didn't score points
The old high school record of 9.93 was set last year by Florida sprinter Christian Miller
who set the national indoor 200 record in March
"I was telling him before I got in the blocks
I'm part of history already because this race was really fast.' I was telling myself to have fun
who had run a wind-aided 9.82 earlier this year
Then Taylor accelerated into a gear that that drew gasps and shocked yells from the large crowd
it truly was a gear unlike any shown in a high school race
"I know Brayden is an incredible starter," Taylor said
When he hit the line all eyes turned to the scoreboard and when the 9.92 came up
"I felt maybe 10 flat," Taylor said of what he expected to see
He later doubled back and won the 200 in 20.14
Williams was philosophical about his wind-legal personal record
"It feels amazing knowing history was made," he said

(WYMT) - Water issues fluctuated at the Daniels Mountain Pump Station over the weekend
Harlan County Judge-Executive Dan Mosley shared a Facebook live update around 4 p.m
noting that a major break had been fixed along US 119 at Fresh Meadows
which helped restore the water pressure at the station
during a Facebook Live on Sunday at 9 p.m.
the pump station at Daniels Mountain was building pressure
to locate the source of a valve leak after the pressure dropped to zero at the pump station
They discovered the leak near US 19 and Dorcas Jane Lane and successfully carried out repairs by 1 a.m
Water pressure started to return to the pump station
where a trickle of water was flowing through that area
indicating a new break had occurred between Dorcas Jane Lane and Lay Hill
A wet spot was identified 400 yards from Treemont Drive Sunday afternoon
A trench dug resulted in the finding of a valve that had been shut off
water flow improved at the Daniels Mountain Pump Station
a line at the bottom of Daniels Mountain ruptured
Crews worked throughout the night to restore pressure
WYMT is still working to see if the pressure returned overnight
but there has been no update on the current status at the station
We contacted Black Mountain Utility District who could not comment

— A presidential executive order could breathe new life into Kentucky’s coal mining industry
Harlan, Kentucky, is a community built on the legacy of coal, but for decades, the industry has been more past than present. However, a signature from the president vows to rejuvenate America’s coal production
Harlan County’s judge executive welcomed the support from the president’s recent order
Dan Mosley is the son of a coal miner and has been in county government for more than a decade
“There is still coal in these hills and there’s several mining operations that are still doing business today and employing people and have contracts to provide coal to power plants
There is still coal in the western Kentucky coal fields,” Mosley told Spectrum News
The decline of coal production and loss of mining jobs has been well documented over the last 30 years
back years ago there was so much more mining taking place,” Mosley said
lost nearly 40% of its population since coal was in peak production
presidential policy played a role in pushing out an industry vital to eastern Kentucky
“This regulatory environment that coal has been in has perpetuated the loss of jobs
because it has been regulated out of business,” Mosley stated
On April 8, President Donald Trump signed an executive order removing several Biden era policies
and ensuring federal policy does not discriminate coal mining or coal-fired energy production
“You’ve heard of people refer to the ‘War on Coal,’ and it was a war on coal
Coal’s boom and bust cycles have been impacted by natural gas prices and technological advancements in coal extraction
fewer people are needed in the process of coal mining than were required 30
Eastern Kentucky native Rainbo Johnson is a local expect in the coal industry
Johnson began his career in the mines and later owned his business
Johnson spent nearly 50 years in the coal mining industry
I would run into people from Ireland and Scotland
visiting these coal companies to arrange some kind of market where they could buy our coal and our plants
our coal plants here in the United States were closing down simply because of overregulation,” Johnson said.
Time will tell if President Trump’s executive order will
It has already fired up expectations where coal was once king
“If coal companies are producing more coal
that means more people are working,” Judge Executive Mosley said
There’s a new energy that we see in coal mining.”Time will tell if President Trump’s executive order will in fact
that means more people are working,” Judge Executive Dan Mosley said
There’s a new energy that we see in coal mining.”
A transgender faculty member at Kansas State University alleged the university created a hostile environment and did not provide medical accommodations
Associate professor Harlan Weaver filed a gender discrimination and retaliation lawsuit against KSU April 28
front and back pay including benefits and attorney's fees
Weaver was assigned female at birth but identifies as male
He was hired as an associate professor within the Gender
and Sexuality Studies Department in August 2015
according to court documents and his personal LinkedIn
KSU's communications director Michelle Geering said the university has yet to receive the lawsuit
She also declined to make any further comment stating she "would not comment on active litigation."
What claims does Harlan Weaver make in his lawsuit against Kansas State University?In March 2022
This procedure requires a post-surgery recovery period of six to eight weeks
Weaver claimed he ensured his duties would be covered through the appropriate university channels
he was then allegedly pressured by his cis gender supervisor and is not named as a defendant in the lawsuit
into coming back to work before recovering
Launius did not immediately respond for comment
Weaver reported back to work two weeks after his procedure and completed the Spring 2022 semester
Weaver took a sabbatical and returned in time for the Spring 2023 semester
When he returned he found out that cis gender coworkers who also took a sabbatical were given more leniency and cooperation from Launius
Weaver raised concerns to the department about the unfair treatment he had received in a department faculty meeting in January 2023 and again in the March 6
Weaver filed a complaint against Launius to the university’s Office of Institutional Equity for the differential treatment
Weaver claims Launius' demeanor became more negative against him and that Launius refused to acknowledge him on multiple occasions
the university held a meeting to address "tension" within the department and a co-worker had an aggressive and emotional outburst directed at Weaver stating he should be ashamed for filing a complaint
The co-worker is not named as a defendant in this lawsuit
2023 to the Office of Institutional Equity for the increasingly hostile environment created by Launius and his coworkers
Weaver claims the complaint was not addressed before closing two months later
Launius was named interim department head despite Weaver's objections
In the Fall 2023 semester Weaver was allegedly the only one told he could no longer speak off topic during department faculty meetings
his submissions for discussion points were repeatedly denied by Launius
During the October department meeting Weaver used the word orgasm
which is used when discussing sex education research
Rensing did not immediately respond for comment
Launius and Rensing allegedly took Weaver off the Queer Studies Committee without his consent or input
which would impact Weaver's ability to get full professorship
He then alleged in his lawsuit that Launius withheld information about the full professorship application until after applications were due
Launius and Rensing moved to a different department and we're no longer in direct contact with Weaver

my son’s mother died of ovarian cancer,” Mr
Morgan explained while wearing his customary blue-tinted sunglasses
Morgan founded this event a half century ago
so the party started there,” he said of its roots
It has since become a staple on the calendar
landing this year’s party inside the K Club on the University of Kentucky campus
Shannon Morgan Lisk lost her battle with ovarian cancer
and Shannon’s Angels Fund will be the beneficiary of the money they hope to raise on Friday night through ticket sales and a silent auction
“We just celebrated our 10th anniversary in November
so we're really excited to have a chance to share it,” said Jennifer Higgins
and so many great silent auction items to shop through
Those donated items include UK Wildcats merchandise
despite its recent issues dealing with historic flooding
came through with a nice donation of several bourbon bottles for the auction
you should do this for charity,’” Morgan said
the charitable part of this is into its third decade
Morgan said the party has generated more than $100,000 in some years
which isn’t bad given this event’s humble roots
So let the good times roll,” he said before walking off to help organizers set up the party space for Friday night

We met Harlan many years ago a Husker Wrestling dual
One year we made a last minute decision to go to the Big 12 Baseball Championships in Oklahoma City
We arrived in before the doors opened and went to purchase tickets
I heard a voice shout out “Aren’t you at the wrong sport?” It was Harlan
We spoke often during Husker sporting events
We also would see him at the grocery store and always had a short conversation
I have the pleasure of calling Harlan my friend
Before Harlan became a parent he was so kind to my children
Harlan was my neighbor and such a kind soul
My dogs loved him and the treats he would give
I enjoyed walking down the street to visit with him whenever I could
May he rest in peace ❤️ So sorry I wasn’t able to go to the wake
Harlan and Joba would come over to our house during the summer
You held such a special place in our hearts
Our family is all praying for those left behind and mourning for Harlan

The year-long competition culminated with finalists Miles Kim ’25
and Akesh Shah ’25 arguing before a panel of judges
but no one made a sound as Nicole Morote ’25 walked up to the podium to present her arguments to the three distinguished judges sitting before her
Students who enter the Harlan Fiske Stone Moot Court Competition face an intense
three-round elimination competition to test their appellate advocacy skills
66 students participated in the qualifying round
briefing issues on behalf of either the appellant or the appellee (students are generally assigned a side throughout the competition) and presented their positions in oral arguments
Sixteen competitors advanced to the spring semifinal round
The two teams with the best overall results advanced to the final round
District Court for the Southern District of New York.
Written by the competition’s student co-directors, Shreya Agarwala ’25 and Robert Kreklau ’25
the case dealt with complicated jurisdictional questions: J.M
and his father (who sued on J.M.’s behalf when J.M
a social media influencer with more than a million followers
emotional distress through her social media posts over many years and by sending J.M
to an all-girls boarding school with extreme disciplinary measures
additionally claimed that Morgan defamed him in a public online response to his college personal statement (which had been leaked) by calling him a drug addict and alleging he lied about being transgender on his college applications
Park argued that New York law should apply to the IIED claim because most of the relevant conduct occurred when J.M
She also said the mother’s actions would not meet the high bar of “extreme and outrageous” conduct required under that state’s law and that New York never intended for IIED claims to cover the parent-child relationship
Abudu asked how the panel should treat the fact that the plaintiff’s father “had a completely different response” to J.M.’s gender dysphoria
“Now you have two parents of the same child handling the situation very differently,” the judge said
why New York courts don’t consider these kinds of intimate
private parent-child disputes in the context of even tort claims generally but especially in IIED,” Park said
adding that “those disputes are better resolved in family court or divorce proceedings.”
Representing the plaintiff on the choice of law issues
Shah argued that the mother’s conduct—including a “decades-long campaign of gender conversion therapy”—was outrageous under either state’s laws
But he also said the most egregious harm to J.M
Kim argued on behalf of the mother that she makes her living “selling a sensationalized version of her life as a parent on social media.” As such
no “reasonable juror” would believe she was sharing facts rather than opinions
But the judges pointed out that the mother had prefaced her posts by saying she was going to tell her followers the truth
Morgan lays down the marker when she says it’s time to clear up what’s happening
and she wants to tell the truth,” Karas said
“She even talks about how her brand is all about being honest
That speaks the language of ‘I’m about to share facts about my child.’”
Kim responded that “a reasonable listener would understand those types of statements to be commonplace promotional efforts from savvy content creators like Ms
Kim also argued that New York’s anti-SLAPP (Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation) law bars J.M.’s defamation claim because the mother’s posts involved matters of public interest
Morote said that “when a reasonable listener is repeatedly told that what’s about to follow is the truth
then a reasonable listener is likely to take it as exactly that.”
“How do you answer the argument that this is a broader discourse about child-rearing?”
Morote said both J.M.’s posts and his mother’s posts were about their own lives and experiences
not about “broader social or cultural topics.”
“For this court to say that the ambit of [New York’s relevant law] is so wide that it reaches this dispute today would be to go farther than New York courts have gone,” she said
the judges delivered the results: Morote was awarded the Lawrence S
Greenbaum Prize for best oral presentation
(Judges question competitors throughout their arguments but do not issue a decision on the fictional case.)
“I’ve been doing my job for about 20 years
and you all are already at the top 1%” of oral advocates
Chung also expressed admiration for the students who wrote the case
which she called “amazing” and “so well done.”
“While my note proposes a new legal solution to the issue
I wondered how children could tackle the problem within current law,” she said.
watching the case unfold throughout the competition was “incredible,” they said
but there is certainly a level of awe for the students and judges with such a strong grasp of the record
and pride watching our work come to life.”
and the moot court board: Agarwala and Kreklau
Yi ’25; Foundation Moot Court Director Yashi Wang ’25; Managing Directors Skylar Jaeger ’25
and Madeline Everett ’25; Specialized Moot Court Director Angela Hyokyoung Kang ’25; and Director of Community Programs Cole D
Morote said it was “such a privilege” to argue in front of the judges. “I’m overwhelmed and beyond honored,” she said
“I owe a world of gratitude to the friends
and mentors who have so selflessly given their time to teach and support me.”
“I had so much fun arguing in front of the judges,” he said
“They asked me a lot of questions I had never been asked before
which was both nerve-racking and exciting.”
“I really enjoy the collaboration element of the competition. It’s much more fun to endure the grind of brief writing and oral arguments with friends. I’ve had the good fortune to work with two brilliant partners this year, and I have learned so much from them.” Read more.
“Oral arguments require more than just knowing a legal script really well. They require the ability to adapt: to change focus halfway through to an argument the bench will find more persuasive, to understand the judges’ reservations. Getting to that place is a challenge, but a rewarding one!” Read more.
“I’ve learned (and am still learning!) the skill of pivoting during oral arguments. After answering a judge’s question, it’s important to smoothly redirect the conversation back to your argument.” Read more.
“The best part of this competition—and one of the great joys of my law school experience—has been working with my teammate. As a competitor, she is a brilliant writer and expert orator. As a teammate, she is a thoughtful adviser and encouraging friend.” Read more.
“The law itself is on trial in every case as well as the cause before it.”
Born on a farm in Chesterfield, New Hampshire, on October 11, Stone grows up in Amherst, Massachusetts. (Stone’s family on his father’s side originally arrived from England to the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1635.)
where he plays on the football team and becomes acquainted with fellow student and future President Calvin Coolidge
who will later nominate Stone to the Supreme Court
His classmates predict Stone will “proceed to be the most famous man in [the class of] ’94.”
joins the New York City firm of Wilmer and Canfield (later Satterlee
begins teaching at Columbia Law as a lecturer in law
he resigns from the faculty to devote himself full-time to private practice
Returns to Columbia Law School as dean and resumes teaching
An inspiring educator who champions the increasingly popular “case” method
Students regard him as a friend and honor him by calling themselves “Stone-agers.” After repeatedly clashing with Columbia University President Nicholas Murray Butler
Stone resigns in 1923 and joins the Wall Street firm Sullivan & Cromwell
Appointed by President Calvin Coolidge as U.S
His most enduring legacy as attorney general is selecting 29-year-old J
Edgar Hoover as acting director of the Justice Department’s Bureau of Investigation
who becomes its director by the end of the year
leads the agency (renamed the Federal Bureau of Investigation in 1935) until his death in 1972
Nominated to the Supreme Court, where former President William Howard Taft is chief justice, Stone is the first nominee to have a confirmation hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee
he soon aligns himself with the titanic left-of-center justices Louis Brandeis and Oliver Wendell Holmes.
Delivers an eloquent and important dissent in United States v. Butler outlining two principles for declaring statutes unconstitutional
“One is that courts are concerned only with the power to enact statutes
“The other is that while unconstitutional exercise of power by the executive and legislative branches of the government is subject to judicial restraint
the only check up our own exercise of power is our own sense of self-restraint.”
In Stone’s opinion in United States v. Carolene Products Co., his footnote No. 4 becomes what is universally recognized as “the most important footnote in constitutional law.” He writes that legislation should be “subjected to more exacting judicial scrutiny” when it is “directed at particular religious
or racial minorities” who are victims of “prejudice,” which spawns the principle of judicial review known as strict scrutiny.
Stone is the lone dissenter in Minersville School District v. Gobitis
maintaining that a group of Jehovah’s Witness children have the right to not salute the flag—in defiance of a Pennsylvania flag salute statute—because they believe the action to be against their religious beliefs
(They consider the flag a graven image.) Stone maintains that the Pennsylvania statute violates the students’ rights to freedom of speech and religion
and he reads his entire dissent from the bench
holding the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 to be a valid exercise of federal power under the commerce clause
The Darby opinion made Stone “the intellectual leader of the Court’s center,” according to Stone biographer Alpheus T
The Supreme Court hears another flag salute case from the Jehovah’s Witnesses, West Virginia Board of Education v. Barnette
the justices side with Stone and overturn Gobitis

(WYMT) - Harlan County Judge-Executive Dan Mosley called a news conference Friday
It was regarding the prolonged water outage for customers of the Black Mountain Utility District
“We do believe there is something much greater that is in this system that is causing the leak to continue.” Mosley said
“It’s a main break as best as they can tell
they just have not discovered the actual place where the actual water is coming out of the pipe at.”
Crews have worked tirelessly to find the leak that left customers of Black Mountain Water Utility District without water
Officials said they have attempted several strategies to find the leak as quickly as possible
“It did not reveal itself when they had everything closed previously in one area,” Mosley said
“They worked in that same area with a different philosophy Wednesday and Thursday so today they are going back to the footprint to expand the search for the break.”
Funding was granted for water improvements for both the Black Mountain Utility District as well as in Evarts
but those improvements and upgrades will not happen immediately
It is a tedious process that officials said will take time
“That money won’t be available until the end of June
I was mayor for several years and we did several of these projects and they don’t happen overnight but as I told people earlier
the main thing we are facing right now is getting people water
and then we will switch gears and get these lines replaced.”
They said crews will continue to work until they find the leak
and water will continue to be distributed until it is no longer necessary
we will get someone out there to deliver that to them,” Mosley said
I can assure you that district crews are working as diligently as they can to get things fixed.”
Crews will look to find a temporary solution until they are able to permanently fix the issue
“I have never found anything quite so absorbing as work on the Supreme Court
It just seems to exclude everything else.”
Associate Justice Joseph McKenna’s retirement created a vacancy on the Supreme Court
and President Coolidge again looked to Stone
The Senate Judiciary Committee recommended Stone’s confirmation to the full Senate
some Senators had additional questions and returned the nomination to the Committee for further review
Stone consented to appear in person before the Committee—a first in Supreme Court and Senate history
fielding questions during five hours of public testimony
the Senate confirmed the nomination by a 71 to 6 vote
and Stone officially joined the Supreme Court on March 2
While Stone’s appearance was historic
it was not until 1955 that the Senate Judiciary Committee made in-person hearings a requirement for Supreme Court nominees
Stone’s appointment marked the end of a tumultuous period on the Court during which eleven appointments occurred in just fifteen years
The new Justice’s somewhat moderate stance on the legal issues of the day
often found him in disagreement with the Court’s majority
dissenting,” became commonplace in Court opinions
as Stone frequently joined Justices Louis D
continued changes to the Court’s makeup reversed this trend
When the Court began to uphold the constitutionality of New Deal legislation
Stone more often found himself in the majority
“The library where I spend most of my working hours when I am not in Court is especially attractive
It is so quiet and the light is so good that I feel like a different man.”
the Court held its sessions in the former Senate chamber of the U.S
When the Stones planned their new house at 2340 Wyoming Avenue NW
they incorporated a large home office and library
recalled that Stone visited the construction site daily
personally examining “every bit of material that went into the house.” Agnes Stone commented
“Between the architects and ourselves
little was put over on us.” The Stones moved into their home in 1927
Stone spent considerable time working in his home office
while the Justice’s law clerks worked in a balcony above
Stone chose to decorate his office with Colonial Revival furniture
including a large desk now at Columbia University and a joint stool (right) featuring pegged mortise-and-tenon joints indicative of the style
Several years after moving into his new home
Stone consulted with Chief Justice William Howard Taft on another construction project
When the building opened in the summer of 1935
Stone’s reaction was less than favorable
“A day or two ago I visited the Supreme Court building into which I suppose we will move sometime next year,” he wrote to his sons on May 24
but I confess that I returned from my visit with a feeling akin to dismay
The place is almost bombastically pretentious
and thus it seems to me wholly inappropriate for a quiet group of old boys such as the Supreme Court of the United States.”
Myers Stadium witnessed something that didn’t just shake up high school track — it shifted the global sprinting conversation
a junior from Harlan High School in San Antonio
exploded down lane five in the boys’ 100-meter final
crossing the finish line in a legal wind of 9.92 seconds (+1.1) — a time that places him as the No
the Olympic champion from Botswana who clocked 9.91 as a teenager and has since taken the world stage by storm
A post shared by DyeStat (@dyestat)
Taylor’s performance doesn’t just crown him the top high school sprinter in the United States this season — it marks him as one of the fastest teenage athletes ever
Taylor was known among Texas sprint circles as a steadily rising force
His PR heading into the state meet stood at 10.08 seconds
set just a few weeks prior at the UIL 6A Region IV & Wheelchair Championships
where he also clocked 20.88 in the 200m and ran on a 4x100 relay that posted a 41.07
But nothing hinted that a historic sub-10 performance was about to erupt
the most competitive high school sprinting state in the country
rarely sees wind-legal marks dip below 10 seconds
in a loaded field where he entered ranked just fourth on the national descending order list — and third in the state — Taylor pulled off a performance for the ages
This wasn’t a wind-aided effort either — the +1.1 m/s wind made the time perfectly legal for record purposes
and the 9.92 will go down as one of the fastest ever recorded by a high school athlete at any age
If you’re not here, you’re missing out! #UILState pic.twitter.com/roQDxBgklq
you have to look beyond state titles or national rankings
only one person — Letsile Tebogo — has ever run faster as a teenager
Tebogo’s 9.91 from 2022 made headlines around the globe
but what Taylor just did in Austin wasn’t far off
and Noah Lyles — athletes who’ve gone on to win medals at the senior world and Olympic level
never broke 10 flat in high school.Noah Lyles
considered one of the most technically gifted starters in recent memory
ran 9.99 as a senior — with the help of a hefty 4.0 m/s wind
Tate Taylor’s 9.92 wasn’t just the best race of his life — it was a moment that recalibrated expectations for what’s possible from a high school junior
A quick look at Taylor’s year-over-year progression tells you this performance wasn’t random
he broke into national relevance by clocking 10.08 — before detonating with the 9.92 at state
he’s also dropped his 200m PR from 20.74 (albeit wind-aided) to 20.14 under legal conditions
(The 200-meter race can be seen at the end of the article)
No, you’re not seeing double 🤯🤯Tate Taylor with another LIGHTS OUT run, clocking 20.14 in the boys 200m at the Texas state meet to move into a tie with Tyreek Hill for the 3️⃣rd fastest time in high school history. 📸: Victah Sailer pic.twitter.com/if6Y2ySfn3
While his national ranking in the 200-meter is now alone at the top
And in Texas — where names like Brayden Dashun
and Maurice Gleaton have all run sub-10 (albeit with illegal wind readings) — Taylor has now separated himself as the guy
While there’s no full frame-by-frame breakdown of the 100-meter race yet
footage circulating on social media — including viral posts from MileSplit and DyeStat — makes one thing clear: Taylor’s start was solid
and his drive phase lasted longer than expected and was exceptional
and he stayed completely composed through 60 meters before pulling away
A post shared by MileSplit (@milesplit)
Where most juniors might tense up or lose form late in the race
Taylor maintained top-end speed and leaned perfectly at the line
He didn’t just win the race — he looked like he belonged at the next level
Here is Harlan’s Tate Taylor’s national record 9.92 performance in the 6A 100 dash at the UIL state championships in Austin. It was wind-legal and awesome. pic.twitter.com/y2l6JLRv9d
Tate Taylor’s high school, Harlan
is located in the Northside Independent School District of San Antonio
While not historically seen as a sprinting powerhouse like Duncanville or North Shore
Harlan has quickly built a formidable sprinting corps
Taylor’s 4x100 relay squad clocked a blistering 41.07 seconds this year — and he's helped anchor much of that success
Harlan ranks as a top-5 sprint program in Region IV
and Taylor's individual contributions have put them on the national map
His consistency across multiple events — from relays to open 100s and 200s — shows he’s not just a big-race performer
While college recruiters are already circling
it’s very possible Taylor skips the usual senior-year decision-making cycle entirely
and Puma will almost certainly come knocking
and the idea of turning professional before college — a la Knighton or Sydney McLaughlin — is on the table
Taylor’s time would already make him competitive at the national senior level
team for the World U20 Championships — and potentially run professionally on the Diamond League circuit
The only question is whether his next race will come in a U.S
Taylor is being thrust into a spotlight that very few athletes — let alone high schoolers — are prepared for
His now-viral post-race interview showed calm confidence rather than cocky celebration
OK, peeps. Texas HS track is just different.Just saw a jaw dropping national record 9.92 run in the 100 meters by junior Tate Taylor of Northside Harlan (San Antonio)! Check out his reaction:@uil @usatf @presspasssports pic.twitter.com/nWgszlUS0i
That emotional maturity may prove just as valuable as his sprint mechanics in the long run
or simply take the summer off to rest and reload
one thing is certain: he’s already changed the landscape of high school sprinting
For future juniors lining up in Texas or anywhere else
9.92 will now loom in the back of their minds — a time that was previously unthinkable for a high schooler
let alone someone who wasn’t even expected to win his state meet
the world better be ready for what comes next

feel that he makes "The Da Vinci Code" author Dan Brown look like "a paragon of literary restraint" by comparison
when Coben signed a deal with Netflix to produce several serialized adaptations of his work
so we took a look at them all to determine which Harlan Coben Netflix series is the best
For its unique and arguably contrived premise
"Missing You" feels like a torturous remixing of the most groan-worthy tropes relied on by the Netflix adaptations of Harlan Coben's work
Rosalind Eleazar (AppleTV+'s "Slow Horses") stars as Kat Donovan
a lonely detective who struggles to form meaningful relationships with others — especially in her romantic life
This stems in large part from the way her engagement to her fiancé Josh Buchanan (Ashley Walters of "Adolescence") ended over a decade prior
until Kat's friend sets her up with a profile on a dating app
and the swiping investigator finds herself unexpectedly matched with him
how exactly does this story about a lost love eventually arrive at the usual Coben destination of murder and intrigue
Through the use of a truly dizzying amount of baffling twists that come so fast you almost can't process how ridiculous they are
And even if you are able to follow where exactly the nonsensical story is headed at any given moment
that's likely due to a level of attention that the series absolutely does not reward
overlong drama with little insight to offer about trauma and relationships
Eleazar and co-star Richard Armitage (a recognizable face for fans of Coben's Netflix adaptations) do their best to make it compelling
and there are some moments of spectacle to be appreciated
but we still can't help but swipe left on "Missing You."
If "Missing You" is an exercise in mixing up all the contrivances of a Harlan Coben story without achieving even a fraction of their usual impact
"Gone for Good" is a more focused but no less tedious examination of his perspective on families
The French-language miniseries follows social worker Guillaume Lucchesi (Finnegan Oldfield) as he attempts to unravel two seemingly disparate (but
sloppily connected) mysteries that have turned his life into a confusing series of tragedies
The root of all Guillaume's problems seems to stem from a night in the not-too-distant past, on which his loving, longtime girlfriend Sonia (Garance Marillier, whom readers may recognize from the controversial cult 2016 horror film "Raw") breaks up with him — only to be gunned down alongside his adoring brother Fred (Nicolas Duvauchelle)
has vanished mere moments after seemingly accepting his proposal of marriage
leading Guillaume on a twisting investigation that unveils secrets about the family he thought he knew
Compared to "Missing You" and perhaps even some of the films a little higher on this list
"Gone for Good" does have a remarkably strong central performance in Oldfield's Guillaume
which almost manages to sell the entire endeavor as a mystery drama rather than a viable thriller
But dreadful pacing and plotting ultimately overtake whatever the cast as a whole brings to the material
making for an aimless story that feels like it would've been better served as a pared-down film as opposed to a five-episode event
The six-episode Polish-language miniseries takes place in the upper-class suburbs of Warsaw
where the teenage children of wealthy (read: detached) parents have seemingly become enmeshed in a dark and deadly underworld
The central plot follows Anna and Michał Barczyk (Magdalena Boczarska and Leszek Lichot)
whose worlds are thrown into chaos when their son Adam (Krzysztof Oleksyn) disappears without notice
Against an unmotivated police force and a tight-knit neighborhood as suspicious of others as they are secretive
the Barczyks must follow whatever clues they can to find their son — whose very disappearance could reveal a connection to the sudden death of another teen in the community
Though it certainly feels like a stretched-out version of the sort of needlessly convoluted plot you'd expect from an episode of an American crime procedural
"Hold Tight" is the worst of the "put-it-on-while-cleaning-your-apartment" tier of Coben Netflix series
"Hold Tight" and "Stay Close" may sound hilariously interchangeable as movie titles
classic Harlan Coben narrative crutches are in use in both stories
one would be forgiven for mixing them up with one another
is that while the former series can be pleasant background noise for your spring cleaning
the latter might just be a bit too distracting — and dare we say engaging — at times to serve as such
The major difference comes from how "Stay Close" manages to weave together its layered mysteries with a bit more art than the previously mentioned shows. The main thread follows quintessential quiet upper-middle-class suburban housewife Megan Pierce (played by Cush Jumbo, an actor best known for roles in several massive British crime dramas)
Megan was "Cassie," an exotic dancer at the scandalous Viper Club
who was potentially connected to the unsolved disappearance and apparent murder of Stewart Green (Rod Hunt)
Now that her old boss Lorraine (Sarah Parish) has ambushed her new life
Megan finds herself unable to keep the past at bay any longer — especially as another murder revives interest in Stewart's death as potentially being the work of a serial killer
The central plot of "Stay Close" is supported
rather than diluted by the usual convoluted Coben subplots
which in this instance follow characters and mysteries more naturally tied to Megan's story
Richard Armitage reunites with Coben to play photographer Ray Levine
who was once involved with "Cassie" and hasn't been able to shake her memory since; James Nesbitt
for whom Stewart's death was traumatic and personal
"Just One Look" sees Harlan Coben's Netflix collaborations still struggling to reach the same heights they previously had
it's also an entertaining enough mystery thriller that
if you find yourself drawn in by its premise and opening moments
will probably be sufficiently satisfying for a snappy six-episode run
a reclusive jewelry designer haunted by memories of fire that engulfed a concert she attended as a young girl
and though she has tried to keep her trauma relegated to vivid recurring nightmares
she is reminded of it by a mysterious person who insists upon sending her flowers every year to commemorate the tragedy
she discovers an unsettling photo of a young woman (her face ominously marked with a red "X") and a group of people that seemingly includes Greta's own husband
he is assaulted and kidnapped soon after its discovery
which eventually leads to Greta being tracked down by Borys Gajewicz (Mirosław Zbrojewicz) — the father of the girl in the photo
who claims that she was murdered several years prior
the twists of "Just One Look" can be a bit hard to square
But opposite to "Missing You" and "Gone for Good," the story moves fast enough that it rarely asks you to sit with any development for too long
managing to keep the viewer engaged in the thrills at the heart of the story rather than the plausibility of its plot
If you're fascinated by investigative programs like "To Catch a Predator," then the Netflix adaptation of Harlan Coben's "Caught" is right up your alley
In the 2025 Spanish-language thriller series
independent investigative journalist Ema Garay (Soledad Villamil) pursues her own brand of justice through her true crime documentary series (also called "Caught")
The aim of the series is for Ema to track down criminals who have somehow been able to avoid accountability for their crimes and force them to talk to the camera
Her current case finds her hot on the trail of a cyber predator who preys on high school girls through an online video game
As one would expect from this wannabe Chris Hansen
Ema goes undercover as a teenager in order to set up an encounter between her crew and this mystery predator — only for her to find herself shockingly meeting up with a man she personally knows and trusts
Though she finds herself compromised by this development and confused by his insistence about his own innocence
she delves deeper into the case when one of the girls targeted by the online threat goes missing
Despite being full of the same unbelievable twists as other Coben series
"Caught" feels distinct from the rest in terms of its tone and subject matter
That doesn't necessarily make it a great TV show compared to other Netflix crime dramas
it's one of his more successful efforts with the streamer
as well as the continued support of British super-producer Danny Brocklehurst
In addition to the fact that Brocklehurst was responsible for the best of the Coben Netflix series
he's an early Coben adapter who turned his novel "The Five" into a riveting British crime drama all the way back in 2016
but Brocklehurst manages it much better here than the creatives behind "Gone for Good," for example
He's apparently the perfect visionary to render Coben's unwieldy work with the breathless
guiltless drama and thrills it's built upon
Another collaboration between Harlan Coben, Netflix, and Danny Brocklehurst, "Safe" is yet another surprisingly effective Coben yarn. "Dexter" star Michael C. Hall leads the 2018 miniseries as Tom Delaney
a widower who moves himself and his daughters into an affluent British gated community following the death of his wife
It's a common story beat in most crime thrillers these days
and Coben doesn't shy away from the expected cliches inherent to it — there's weird
sexual impropriety lurking around every corner
and unsupervised teens with seemingly unlimited access to money
every bit as safe dramatically as it sounds
perhaps even plausible if you can believe it — and by it
we do mean the still fairly absurd mystery that drives the narrative
one of Tom's poor daughters "unexpectedly" disappears
forcing him to turn citizen detective so that he can find out what happened to her and bring her home safely — all while uncovering various secrets about the new
supposedly perfect community he's made his home
Even if "Safe" is a toned-down riff on an overdone kind of story Coben himself returned to in 2022 with "Hold Tight," Coben's story here earns way more credibility simply by reigning his dramatic usual impulses in
This allows traditional storytelling aspects like performance
making for a more intellectually stimulating mystery than you might expect from the author
Harlan Coben uses the trope of having two timelines
progress at the same time throughout the story
with the perspective shifting back and forth to provide context as necessary
if unoriginal trick that lends itself well to the mystery genre
though one could argue that Coben's use of it at this point is so compulsive that it has all but diluted its impact entirely
we would offer the 2020 miniseries "The Woods."
Another Coben yarn spun into a Polish setting
"The Woods" sees Coben using two timelines more effectively than he does in any other story
Paweł Kopiński (Hubert Miłkowski) was a camp counselor responsible for the safety of four young people
only for none of them to make it out of the woods
Paweł (Grzegorz Damięcki) is a prosecutor who still believes his sister may be out there somewhere
when human remains are uncovered and linked to the disappearances
Rather than feel like extended flashbacks used simply to show a story event
the past storyline of this series feels like a living
unburdened by the sense of plodding predestination that arises when this trope feels more perfunctory than anything else
not the best title called "The Stranger" that Netflix has produced
and those of you who mistakenly click on the thrilling 2022 Thomas M
Wright film of the same name may find that it's ruined your interest in the former miniseries
among the most steadfast of Coben-Netflix watchers
"The Stranger" is broadly considered the best of the adaptations so far
playing the perfect husband of the perfect family with the perfect life archetype seen in so many of these stories
this is soon revealed to be a facade by an external force — in this case
a stranger (played by Hannah John-Kamen) who somehow knows that his perfect wife perfectly faked her perfect pregnancy
then pretended to have a miscarriage in order to cover the deception
and how would a perfect stranger know such intimate secrets of their lives
Those are the simple questions at the heart of the series that Coben and co
(including Danny Brocklehurst) manage to spin into eight entrancing hours of TV
It has all the hallmarks of a Coben series
but the pace and plotting are too deviously titillating to ignore
Harlan Coben catches a lot of arguably deserved flack for remixing plot points in his stories time and time again
But in the 2021 miniseries "The Innocent," he and director Oriol Paulo buck many of his most noticeable impulses to tell a story that focuses less on rapid twists and turns and more on the psychological drama of a character thrust into his world
Mateo Vidal (Marios Casas) had his life derailed by a negligent murder conviction
brought on by a bar fight gone horribly wrong
Though Mateo served his time and attempts to move forward with his new wife Olivia (Aura Garrido) and inherited law practice
he finds himself wrestling with feelings of guilt
and hopelessness that he'll ever feel like a whole
he discovers evidence that Olivia may be living her own double life
and finds himself sucked into a dangerous web of lies when he tries to investigate further
and buoyed by a uniquely solid combination of distinctive visuals
"The Innocent" is a powerful series that should appeal to both Coben fans and critics alike
It's certainly the best of his collaborations with Netflix
and one that makes us anxiously excited for what he and the streamer will do together next

Then he became the 2022 AQHA Reserve World Champion in Senior Heading
Bobby’s pedigree reads like a “Who’s Who” of the team roping industry
a lot of this can be attributed to his second dam
Dual Patron and J Lows Glo—all three being AQHA world champions in roping—plus Time To Glo (that earned $228,538 roping by the time he was 5) and the great working cow horse CSR Lay Down Sally
Bobby Glo’s bottom side is just as impressive
was considered by many to be a “once in a lifetime” horse
she was the Reserve High-Point Jr Heading and Jr Heeling champion
athletic working horses and has carried on the legacy of Harlan
“This stallion is living up to his remarkable heritage,” said Dr
“He’s proven himself to be a great athlete
And I’ve always heard the mark of a great stallion is that he produces horses as good or better than himself.”
Bobby Glo has offspring already demonstrating his same promising attributes
As a new generation of talent gets ready to enter the arena
Moss’ mission is to continue Bobby Glo’s heritage through his progeny

and this month’s is Caught (Atrapados)
The Harlan Coben shows range in quality from mediocre to bad
and I’m inclined to place Caught somewhere in between
and there are several plot holes — typical of Harlan Coben shows — but the biggest issue is that there are six episodes
and the four between the premiere and finale are almost entirely pointless
You could watch the first episode to get the premise and then jump to the finale
which fills in most of the gaps with flashbacks
To make the explanation easier this time around
I’m using images so you can put faces to the characters (especially helpful if you bailed a few episodes in)
She’s a journalist who hosts a To Catch a Predator-like show called Caught
She’s currently investigating a man who uses an online video game to lure girls into sexually abusive situations
a guy who is — presumably on purpose — depicted as sketchy
Facundo lives on or next to an outdoor camp run by Leo (Alberto Ammann)
a handsome family friend who’s beloved in the community as a longtime counselor and mentor at the camp
Leo allows Ema to question the kids at the camp about the predator
the two sleep together in the middle of the day — because Leo is handsome and Ema is lonely (her husband died two years ago after being hit by a drunk driver)
Leo’s best friend Marcos (Juan Minujín) stops by to go kayaking or something
a teenage girl who’s a talented cello player and
secretly runs a popular OnlyFans-style account
She disappears after a party — last seen on a boat — and is found dead in the woods a few days later
Martina’s pervy classmate who lives next door to Martina and spies on her through her window
He’s also friends with Leo because everyone in town is
He’s a red herring who spends most of the series looking furtive and complaining that his mom is too busy catching predators to spend time with him
Martina’s shady ex-boyfriend who follows her around at the party and looks suspicious
The bulk of Caught centers on Ema’s dual investigations: she’s trying to find both the online predator and Martina’s killer
Ema — posing as an underage girl — lures the predator to a house
the camp counselor she slept with that very day
insists he’s not a predator and flees
he arranges a meeting with Ema to explain himself
but Facundo — whose daughter was a victim — finds Leo and shoots him
is not the predator (who ends up being a completely unimportant red herring)
Here’s what happened: A couple of weeks before the party
Martina agreed to give a wealthy businessman in Buenos Aires a live performance of her online content
where Leo’s best friend Marcos is also a passenger
Marcos is working on a land deal with that same businessman
The businessman asks Marcos to “deal with” Martina afterward
and Martina and Marcos hit it off and end up having an affair
Marcos’ land deal requires Leo to give up control of the camp
even bringing up an incident from their childhood as leverage
to frame Leo as a predator to push him out and secure the land deal
But that’s only tangentially related to Martina’s death
Armando is thrilled until he discovers she helped frame Leo
he pushes her — she falls down the stairs and dies
Armando and his mother move the body to the woods to cover it up
Marcos flees and drives into another vehicle
Facundo’s murder charge is reduced to attempted murder because Leo’s body is never found
That’s because Leo didn’t die — he swam to safety and is now off living his best life
riding horses through the mountains of Argentina

I am deeply passionate about expanding access to higher education
I spent years thinking of this school as a space I could never dream of accessing
and encouragement I got from others to see myself here and finally take the leap to apply
I am so excited to meet prospective and admitted students in person and help bring their future as an HKS student to life through the classrooms
The best advice I have is to start your application early so that you can review your essays ahead of time
Your essays are an opportunity to show who you are outside of your résumé/CV
