Tavien Feaster is still the fastest man in the state.
Just like he did as a sophomore, Feaster swept the 4A 100- and 200-meter titles over the weekend.
“It’s definitely a great goal and great accomplishment,” Feaster told TheClemsonInsider on Sunday afternoon.
“I just wanted to keep pushing myself. Just really, it’s motivation each year to defend my title and to do what I do best.”
Committed to Clemson since February, the Spartanburg High School running back posted times of 10.42 and 21.11.
“Those were outstanding numbers that I posted yesterday,” Feaster said. “I was really focused yesterday and I just did what I had to do, to mark myself in the record books and just be a state champion again.”
Clemson offensive coordinators Tony Elliott and Jeff Scott watched Feaster run at Spring Valley High School on Saturday. Each spoke with Feaster after the event.
“They just told me great job,” Feaster said.
Feaster will now turn his focus to his final season of high school football.
“Time has flown by. Yesterday, I was just in the ninth-grade getting ready for my first high school practice,” he said. “Basically, I’m glad that I can move on and play division one football and track and field.
“It’s a sad feeling, because the guys you grew up with, your paths are separating for the rest of your life. But I’m going to keep in touch with those guys.”
When it comes to his future, Feaster remains firm with the decision he made just over three months ago.
“All schools are telling me I can play both (football and track), but really, right now, my mind is set on Clemson,” he said.
