EUGENE, Ore. – A week after blasting out of the blocks to the front of the field at the NCAA Outdoor championships, before finishing third in the men's 100-meter final, Micah Williams showed he learned a thing or two from that experience.
Williams, the UO freshman from Portland, started well again Saturday in his preliminary race of the U.S. Olympic Team Trials at Hayward Field. This time he stayed strong throughout, blazing across the line in a wind-aided 9.95 seconds to advance to Sunday's semifinal round.
"This time, I knew I'd get out; I just had to finish good," Williams said.
