I was checking the Top Lists for the 60 Meters Times from all around the world. So far Coby Hilton's time of 6.53 is still good for 2nd
in the world! I would love to see him join the ultra rare 6.40's Club. Not too many sprinters have gone in the 6.40's. I would have to
check but I'm guessing about 30 sprinters ever. Only 3 white sprinters have done this feat! Morne Nagel, Richard Kilty and Samuel Ceccarelli. Maybe Coby Hilton can join this very special group of men in history soon. That would be my wish as well as a sub 10.10 at minimum
outdoors this summer. Hilton is 25 now so no time to waste!
One last thing about the All Time 60 Meters List. Only 2 men have ever run in the 6.30's range. Insane to think about.
I think about how many of our sprinters that could have went sub 10 and were so close. They all gave up track too soon. Guys like John Teeters, Devin Quinn and Zach Jewell to just name a few.

Simon Hansen just ran a time of 6.58 for Denmark. Last year outdoors he just missed running a new p.b. of 10.13 with a wind of 2.2. He
also has an outdoor p.b. in the 200 of 20.49! Watch out for this guy this summer!
Adam Thomas of Great Britain ran a 6.59! He comes accross as a late bloomer. He is 28 years old now but has been slowly improving
just about every year. It would be treat to see him have the best year of his life this summer. He ran a 10.14 last year wind legal.

Thanks for this. One of my absolute favorite runners to watch. Easy on the eyes, too.

An outstanding indoor track meet from last weekend. Van Der Weken and Zakrzewski both ran in this meet.
Some interesting results from the 60m race in Kazakhstan today.
Good results from 2 Japanese sprinters, and a great 6.62 from Richard Kilty! Not sure his age now, but he is certainly older and still running well.

Do you have a link to the results for this meet? I believe that broke the Meet Record of 7.10 if my memory is right. She is primed to go
into the 6.90's again with it's so early in the season. Wonder if the womens 60 meter world record is possible?

Forget it. I found the link. I noticed Oliwer Wdowik ran a new p.b. of 6.60! He is only 22 years of age so not too bad. His
100 meters has a long way to go though as his p.b. outdoors is average. Maybe he can do better this summer.

Brody Buffington of Georgia ran a 6.66 twice today.

he'll be 35 (thus qualifying as a Masters Athlete) in September.
He tweeted this a week earlier "My first 60m race in 4 YEARS! ( I have had multiple surgeries and constant big injuries, probably had more MRI scans than quality training sessions & dealt with a lot of distractions off track) 6.65 decent first race. Finally back doing what I love on my own journey
"Then betters it again with this 6.62. He's had (still having) a stellar career even after marrying and fathering.

German Sprinter Kevin Kranz starting his indoor season off with a sensational time of 6.59 yesterday! His lifetime p.b. in the 60 meters
is a 6'52 from 2 years ago. He has an outdoor p.b. of 10.18 in the 100 meters. He has battled a few injuries on and off so hopefully this
year his body will stay healthy and he can get back to some really fast times on the track!

It grinds my gears that Boling and his **** coaches have essentially decided he give up on the 100.
This is a kid who ran under 10 in high school!! And Georgia sabotaged his career…

I agree 100 percent about Matthew Boling. He was born to run the 100 and 200 meters but he is white so they move him away from the 100.
You really can't make this stuff up. This would not happen to a black sprinter. Hopefully as some point he demands a switch back before it's
too late as a sprinters career is usually very shot and he is almost in his mid 20's now.
Henrik Larsson ran a 6.59 yesterday. He had a 6.55 a week ago in Germany which was nullified due to a false start in the race prior. Good to
see him come back and run another time similar. For a big man he sure is explosive over the 60 meters! He is fun to watch sprint!

New name to follow: Antoine Thoraval. 22 yr old sprinter from France.
Recently set a new PB of 6.60. That makes him 6th best French of all-time at that distance.
Looks like a pocket rocket. It will be interesting to see how much he can lower his 100m PB (10.32) this season.

Great race. Samuele Ceccarelli in the same meet ran a 6.74! What happened to him? Maybe the fame made him lazy. Back to back slow
races for the last several weeks. Hope he can get back into proper shape as he was running incredible eye popping times last year and
looked like a sure sub 10 prospect. I would say he is a little overweight but it's very early in the season so we will have to be patient!

I don't follow sprinting much - do our guys tend to do better on the 60m distance compared to 100m?
