    There may be some who has run 400m faster than him, but no one has been more consistent over a 10 year period than Merritt . Especially when it comes to anchoring 4x400m relays.

    God that story about his brother is truly horrific. He didn't deserve that, just over a petty fight!! You can get really bad luck in this world, depending on the situation if you're in the wrong place at the wrong time there is no bottom to how low your luck can be.

    Shawn put Portsmouth, Va on the map. He does come back home and show love unlike Missy, Ferrell. Woodrow Wilson Marching Presidents...Blue!

    • @rachealsilburn901
      @rachealsilburn901 Před 5 lety

      I have to recant some of what I stated. Ferrell did his thing with Something in the water here recently and from what I was told, Missy did go up to Wilson and donated money to the school. Good look for Hampton Roads.

    LaShawn looks and talks like his dad! Actually, his dad only looks about 10 years older than him!
    I have to ask the question though, why the heck did his parents call him "La" Shawn? What's wrong with just Shawn?

      gothops you gotta be white

    • @gothops2632
      @gothops2632 Před 7 lety +4

      Yup! Why is that black folks have to add "La" or "Da" on the front of normal English names? I remember back in the day there was DaBryan Blanton. He wasn't just Bryan, he was DA Bryan! LOL.
