Deontay Anderson of Manvel was the last seed based off regional qualifying times for the UIL Texas State Championships in the 6A boys 200 meter dash on Saturday night in Austin, but he certainly didn't finish that way! Despite being lowly seeded and not expected to win, Anderson also made up for a slow start to chase down the entire field, including the reigning champ Corey Dauphine, with a sizzling sub 21 second win!
