For everything C.E. King High School sophomore Dillon Mitchell has accomplished in track.
"I've really just been living life," Mitchell said. "It's the same thing, I really don't let anything get to my head, it's just track."
He takes all this success in stride.
Reporter: "So it's really no big deal, to you?"
Dillon: "Yeah, it's really no big deal. I've been building for it my whole life. Ever since I really started to take track seriously, it's just been like it was bound to happen."
The 'bound to happen' part is all the records he set and the fast times he's run over the last three years, including the new US number-one time in the 60 meters he ran just last month.
"Reporter: When you run that fast, what's that like?
Dillion: "It's really like a blink of an eye, in the 60m and 100m, it's like a blink of the eye, you're just running."
His father, Billy, has coached him since the age of four and is not surprised by anything his son achieves. "It used to, but I also have to remember I've been coaching him since the age of four," Billy Mitchell said. "So, I've seen him do a lot of amazing things."
At the age of six, the 100m he ran at the Carl Lewis Relays was a sign to come. He's run faster than any freshman ever has, he's running faster than any sophomore ever has, so nobody's ever been him," Billy said.
"My dad knows what it takes to be at the next level," Dillon said. "He never really taught me to play down at my level; I always play above my level."
"I tell him all the time, he's racing against ghosts," Billy said. "He's racing against the guys, the best that have ever done it. Right now, he's in uncharted waters. He understands that the only limitations are the ones he puts on himself."

With all the record times and the attention that comes with them, Dillon, his mom Karen, and his dad want to make sure not to grow up too fast and enjoy being 16-years-old.
"His mom and I are really proud about the fact that he's a kid, he enjoys being a kid, he wants to be a kid, he's not trying to hurry up and grow up," Billy said.
As Dylan grows older, he says he plans to play football and run track in college, but before that, he wants to qualify for the 2028 Olympics.
