Men: 100 Meters

Pictures and commentary by Doug Speck

Some blazers would show up here. Leonard Scott of the University of Tennessee had amazed by winning the NCAA Indoor 60 meter title, then racing 9.83 (with 7.1 meters per second of wind) and 10.29 wind legal this spring. Collegians Miguel Fletcher (USC) and Tomas Alexander (Louisiana Tech) had blazed 10.40, with James Shelton (Mississippi prep) had taken the National Scholastic title at 10.43. Scott and Shelton had the fastest heat runs with 10.26's with wind, as it took 10.46 to make the Finals after the four heat runs!

Scott was pressed in the Finals from a surprising source, with Marquis Davis, out of Hamilton HS in Memphis, Tennessee, the State Champ there at 10.50 and 20.84 under unknown wind conditions, was over in lane 8 to Scott's lane 5. With the wind a barely wind-aided 2.1 mps, Scott blazed in at 10.15, with Davis a shocking second at 10.19, a matter of inches behind. James Shelton was next at 10.22, with seventh 10.43!! Mr. Davis was not through, with the 200 the next evening!
