EUGENE, Ore. (AP) Christian Coleman wanted to execute his plan in the 100-meter semifinal and run well enough to make the final.
The University of Tennessee junior did that and more Wednesday at Hayward Field.
Coleman recorded the ninth-fastest time ever, running a wind-legal 9.82 seconds at the NCAA Division I outdoor track and field championships.
His time, a personal best by 0.14 seconds, is also the fourth-best in history by an American and a new collegiate record.
”The sky’s the limit as fast as I can ever run. I just wanted to come out here and make it to the final, really.
