EUGENE, Ore. — Moments after crossing the finish line, Justin Gatlin turned to his left and pointed at the clock to make sure everyone noticed what he had just done.
Hard to miss that time. Somewhere, a certain Jamaican sprinter is no doubt hearing about it, too.
Gatlin breezed to the 200-meter title Sunday at the United States outdoor track and field championships in a meet-record 19.57 seconds.
He dominated a race in which he had the lead coming off the turn. It was all over after that, given how he had been running lately and that his legs were feeling particularly fresh.
