I ran a 9.7 100 yards in 1965. That was in high school. At the time the women’s world record was held by Chi Cheng from Taiwan. I watched her on TV a few times and no other woman really even pushed her.

I did get a full scholarship to Troy University. I was a hurdler and sprinter but we had another guy named James Batie who ran a 9.3. I saw him beat the world record holder in the 50 indoors.

My time in the hundred would not have gotten me a scholarship at the larger schools.

I held the 120 yard H.H. record for 28 years at Troy. It was not that fast but I won a lot of records anyway.

OK smartass what else do you want to know?

Here is a list of the all time top 25 100 yard times. 9.30 would have put the guy you noted on the list. By a long shot. Why isn’t he there?

Your memory may just not be what you think it is.

An average 14 year old boy is stronger than a fully developed woman. The US military should be renamed Obama’s military. It is ran by liberals like Milley, who wakes up thinking about wats to undermine his
Commander-In-Chief. All the Special Operations physical requirements have been lowered for women hoping and praying that one can pass them.
