It's not all that surprising to hear of a football player stepping onto the track and running a 10.58 in the 100 meters. It's also not that uncommon to see a 6-foot-2, 220-pound athlete capable of playing defensive end and tight end. But in Takkarist McKinley (Fremont, Calif./Kennedy), college coaches can find both.
