The fastest sort-of legitimate 40 time I've seen was Bo Jackson's 4.13. What type of timing devices were used I don't know.
Here's an interview with Bo where he discusses the run he did before going to track practice, with Harvey Glance as the track coach, and says the 4.13 was electronically timed.

Yep. McAdory won the state championship in track and Bo scored every single point for their team. He was highly regarded in baseball, drafted I believe by the Yankees in early rounds (?second) out of high school. He was very good at football but, as stated above, Evans created more excitement as a football signee. I do remember an article in the newspaper that came out of Auburn’s early fall camp, maybe after the first scrimmage- you could tell by Dye and the other players quotes that they knew then that Bo was a generational talent but that wasn’t the case when he was being recruited.
Bo was also in 5 events at the state meet (1981) and won 4 out of the five. The only reason he didn't win the last event was because it was a relay and it was a team effort rather than an individual event. Why was he in 5 events? That's all the AHSAA would allow anyone to compete in. Otherwise he would have participated in more.

This is my go-to every year, then cancel after the bowl games. Lather, rinse, repeat annually, unless the B-Ball team is doing well, then I wait to cancel.
