Speester Feaster wins 100, 200 state titles

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Spartanburg High sprinter Tavien Feaster put on another speed show at the South Carolina track and field championships, sweeping the 100 and 200 meter dashes for a second straight year.

Feaster started the meet by winning the 100 in a time of 10.42 seconds, announced as the second fastest time in the country this year. It was just a step behind the 2008 state record of 10.35 put up by Marcus Rowland.

Feaster got his name in the record book the next time he lined up, blazing ahead of the field to win the 200 in 21.11 seconds and surpass the previous mark of 21.16 set by Whale Branch’s Andrew Watson in 2012.

Feaster’s next race? Sprinting from college football coaches trying to sway the junior from his Clemson commitment.
