Issam Asinga took down Noah Lyles to win in a wind-aided 9.83 seconds.
There’s a new sprinting prodigy on the block. Issam Asinga ran 9.83 seconds in the 100 meters on Sunday—the fastest ever 100-meter time for a high schooler in all conditions. The 18-year-old took down the reigning world champion in the 200 meters,, en route to a statement win at the PURE Athletics Spring Invitational in Clermont, Florida.
Asinga’s time won’t go down in any official record books, though. The field was propelled by a 2.6 meter-per-second tailwind, just above the wind-legal limit of 2.0 m/s.

Just over an hour earlier, in the 100-meter preliminary round, he clocked a blistering 9.86 , which makes the Montverde Academy senior the only high schooler to ever go under the 10-second barrier twice.
. “Issam displayed a great level of composure and maturity. From a technical standpoint I was not happy with his transition but overall a spectacular performance.”: “Shout out to Issam Asinga and the @MontverdeSports Coaching. I can definitely see us racing on the big stages if you keep improving and you can definitely get that HS record man!”The official high school record belongs to Trentavis Friday, of Cherryville, North Carolina, when he ran a wind-legal 10.00 in 2014.
It wouldn’t be Asinga’s first national record. Earlier this year, at New Balance Indoor Nationals, he tied the 60-meter high school record and shattered the record in the 200 meters, running 20.48 seconds to take the national championship. The track and field scene is full of young, world-class sprinters at the moment. Erriyon Knighton, 19, is already an ace in the 200 meters. He became a U.S. Olympian in the event at only 17 years old at the postponed
