Sam Blaskowski - D3 speedster -- 9.89!

[The Hock]

Jeez the guy's built like a running back. So he's the first white man to break the 9.90 barrier.

One good thing is that he just didn't come out of nowhere. He's been working at it and making some noise for a few years now.

He's worked hard for this moment in the sun.

I was a huge John Teeters Fan. He gave up sprinting far too soon. Sam Blaskowski reminds me of Teeters. They are both powerhouse sprinters that just explode out of the blocks. Very fun to watch. So happy for Sam B. and I hope he tears it up this summer!

i have spoken with Teeters at length about his early retirement from sprinting, and (not to put words in his mouth) i am confident in saying he left the sport because of the rampant, unchecked use of peds by the WGAs. he ran clean, but history has shown that many of the sprinters he was up against were using “supplements” that were outside the legal bounds of competition.

This is incredible and came as a total surprise to me!!

So Sam never even went sub 10 and then blows everyone away going sub 9.9! Nuts. I want to say this came totally out of nowhere, but I’m sure the young man works incredibly hard. Either way, I am pleasantly shocked.
