That’s a great list. I will always believe that Lemaitre could have been in the 9.7 club if he had a personality like Lachlan Kennedy! Either way it’s proof that guys all over the world can put down some blazing times and compete with the best.

I had a funny conversation with ChatGPT the other night. I asked the simple question of whether black people are faster or not. It boldly denied that any race is faster than any other. It simply stated that there are a multitude of factors that come into play, some being genetic and then it...

It doesn’t mean much but I decided to ask ChatGPT to estimate what Larry Quelstad’s time would be today and it estimated it to be a 9.98-10.04. Kind of interesting.

As long as republicans are able to keep power, it’s great. They can keep booting out illegals and keep immigration to a minimum. If the democrats get back in power though they are going to purposely open the doors wide open and it will be a complete disaster. The power struggle between right...

Yohan “magical yams” Blake is running and I thought he had all but retired! Yes it would be great to see Larson get his first sub 10. He certainly has the potential but will have to see how he does against elite competition. That’s what’s so impressive about Kennedy, he seems to have ice in...

According to the article he’s committed to playing football at Southern Oregon University. It’s a shame his focus isn’t on track, but maybe he will have a chance to transfer to a division 1 program and possibly make the NFL. It’s always a gamble as you need to be running 9.8’s to make the...

Interesting that 9/11 of the sprinters on the men’s side ran their times within the past 3 years. Definitely a promising trend and it really shows what we’ve been saying for a long time. If whites just participate in the sprints more, there will be a lot more at the elite level. It’s just a...

Casey Combest was another one that peaked early. He still holds the highschool 60m record of 6.57. I’m sure he could’ve broken that PB if he didn’t screw his life up and get in trouble with the law. I just ran accross an article about his son King Combest who is fast in his own right, but...

Anej Čurin Prapotnik from Slovenia is 22 years old now and just ran a new PB of 10.23 +1.6. Not a blazing time and it’s only 1/100th better than his previous best but it is progress nevertheless. He is sitting 4th on the all time list for Slovenia with the number 1 still being the fairly well...

Heiko Gussman of Germany ended his indoor season with a new PB of 6.57 in the 60m. He ran a new 100m PB of 10.28 +0.6 on May 24th. Another one to watch as the summer season goes into full swing.

White Argentinian Tomas Villega is only 21 and had a huge PB on March 29th of 10.21 +1.3. Since then it looks like he’s run a couple of races in the 10.3 range. One to keep on the radar. I believe this is him:

The architecture is one of my favorite things. The buildings are so extravagant and gorgeous. Architecture today is so dystopian and corporate. It’s cold and uninviting.

I’d say you have to wait on a guy like Boonson since he will probably be running for a number of years and may break his PB at some point. Austin Kratz is a good example of a sprinter that peaked early in my mind as he ran his best time in highschool and I don’t believe he was ever able to...

Konstantin Krylov ran a 10.16 on May 28th. The wind was +2.1 but still not bad to start the season. It was at the Russian team championships. He ran a 10.49 in the heats earlier so I’m guessing he was way out in front and just shut it down early to conserve for the finals. He should be able...

Prefontaine is always a fast track. Hopefully he can throw down a new PB.

Just to show how rare it is regardless of race, only 13 men have run in the 9.7 range or better. Ideally 2 or 3 white guys could hit this mark within the next few years. Thats when the conversation really changes in my opinion. Kennedy looks to have the potential but we will have to wait and...

I’d love for him to become the fastest man ever from Australia. I don’t think Gout is ever going to be able to beat him in the 100. Maybe the 200 but I’d say the 100 belongs to Kennedy. Perhaps this will push Browning below 10. If Browning can get the monkey off his back and get that first...

Man I was watching the introductions and thinking “ok they all look pretty female to me” and then BAM the guy runs out. 6 feet tall, broad shoulders, military haircut. Doesn’t even resemble a woman! I guess I should say he/she looked the same size as the other ladies when you actually watch...

I think he can go sub 10 and sub 20 again too if he changes coaches. We sound like broken records but we said it with Lemaitre and we’ve been saying it with Boling for years now. I think the talent is there but it’s up to him if he wants to pursue it. He may not really care about it as much...

Another name to keep on the radar is Polish sprinter Oliwer Wdowik. Only 23 years old with a PB of 10.23 from last year. Looks like he opened up this year with a good time of 10.29 +0.2 on May 23rd. He should be able to easily smash his PB this summer.

Simon Verherstraeten also ran in Kennedy’s race coming in 5th with a time of 10.26. Although a rather pedestrian time, if you look at his results from last year he will run a few 10.2x’s and then start peaking. He ended the season last year as one of the fastest white men with a 10.06. Will...

Video is sideways but still decent quality. He is such a strong runner. Once he’s in front of you there is no catching him. In the video it looks like the wind is showing -1.7 which is even more impressive. If that’s the case that would put this run into possibly low 9.8 or maybe even high...

Holy cow, it looks like my pessimistic post really worked. These guys are making me look dumb and I’m ok with that. I think Kennedy can run a 9.8x very soon. A 9.98 into a -0.7 wind is very fast. Congrats to him and Kalen Walker!

The wind calculator I checked said that run would’ve been a 9.97 with +2.0 wind. Not a bad run!

Glad to be proven wrong so quickly! 9.94 is a great time. Would be great to see him dip under 9.9!
