Flying Foy Draper Seeks Second California 100-Yard Crown
Fay Draper of Huntington Park high school, age 17, aims to defend his California state 100-yard title at Modesto this May and possibly set a scholastic record of 9.6 seconds. Known as Flying Foy, he ran 100 in 8.8 seconds in a recent dual meet and has multiple 9.8s this season, with Woodrow Wilson and a windy 100s race highlighted. Draper, five feet five and 140 pounds, is Weldon Draper’s brother and is praised for extraordinary heart and sprinting blood despite unusual form. He seeks to become the first CIF sprinter to hold the title twice, joining famed predecessors Wykoff, Borah, and Paddock.
