How good was Joe Bartloce at track and field? And could he have gone division 1? Before Joe Bart became a meme, he was a student athlete at St. Augustine Prep in New Jersey. Although he did sprint and jump, he excelled the most at hurdling. Now, I’m sure Joe would downplay how good he actually was, but numbers don’t lie. In his 10th grade outdoor season, he dropped a 1540 in the 110 m hurdles, which was the 11th fastest time in New Jersey for his grade. And in his 11th grade indoor season, he ran a 7.84 55m hurdles, which was the 36th fastest in New Jersey that year. Despite those two strong seasons, he didn’t run track his remainder of his 11th grade or his senior year. I couldn’t find any reasons why. I would assume it would be the combination of injuries in the PMIC. Now, could he have gone division one? Without his 12th grade season, it is kind of hard to predict how well he would have improved.

  1. One of my former classmates is playing D1 volleyball in uni. I never talked to her much, but im very amazed and proud of her. In my new school in KS, someone in my school was like top 100 for ESPN womens basketball, but her family got hit by a car where i used to live in KY. She got a scholarship to IOWA STATE (where Caitlin Clark played) she was amazing, it is horrible that she had a whole basketball career ahead of her & one guy on drugs driving ruined it & made her dad lose his life. He was a teacher at our school, he was very respected because he was always friendly to everyone

  2. He’s gonna make more money as a streamer than a track star because even the highest don’t even get paid that much you have to win your all of your events to get paid a living
