Myson Johnson-Cook (DeSoto)
This season, we are bringing you members of the freshman and/or the sophomore classes who are having good seasons who we believe might become leaders or stars in the sport
The Cresser family is a track and field family; Carrie is the latest showcasing her abilities. If there is one event the Cressers excel at, it is the 400m. Carrie lives up to the tradition and 56.74 at the Texas A&M Bluebonnet Inv. proves just as much. However, let's not corner her into just one event; she does well at the complimentary run with her 12.14 in the 100m and 24.08 mark n the 200m.
Freshman triple jumper Barron is proving she is nice with the hop, skip, and jump. She went went 38-7.75 to place second at A&M. That followed her 38-9.25 from the Generation Park Inv.
Johnson-Cook is a legit football recruit in the class of 2027; he is currently ranked the No.8 overall recruit nationally by 247Sports.
The sophomore ran a wind-legal 10.45 (-0.6) in the 100m at the Texas A&M Bluebonnet Inv. prelims. In the 100m finals, Johnson-cook ran 10.33 (+2.6) to finish fifth overall. The transfer from Decatur, Illinois was the IESA 100m and 200m middle school state champion with 10.97 and 22.96 runs as an eighth grader. He continues to show his track speed progresses along with his growth in football.
The sophomore ran a wind-legal 10.73 (+1.8) in the 100m prelims at the Texas A&M Bluebonnet Inv. He only entered with a 11.03 and a 22.68 in the 200m, but he showed he is ready to continue to drop times.
The sophomore distance runner landed on our future stars radar during the cross country season. He is clicking during the track and field season and deserves a second mention.
Last weekend, he ran a personal best 4:16.60 in the 1,600m. He also finished fourth at the Texas A&M with a 9:24 to go with his 9:19.94 PR earlier this season.
