🎾: The Breakdown of This Week’s Championships

🔼 Freaky Fast. Maybe Jimmy John’s should hire Bryson Washington because the BU standout running back is definitely freaky fast.

His 51-yard run for a TD on Saturday in Morgantown had him clocked at 21.2 mph, which is the top speed reached by any Division I player this past weekend.
