June 25 was a busy day. There was the 100 meters for men, where Justin Gatlin won in 9.80, a personal best. Tyson Gay was second in 9.86 and Ryan Bailey was third in 9.93. Dick Patrick, one of our columnists, wanted to know if they can collectively race against the Jamaicans in London?
The 100 meter dead heat continued to grow in controversy, as USATF was dealing with the USOC and could not make a decision without the Federation that they ran the Trials for, making a decision.
And Evan Jager versus Don Cabral, in the steeplechase, had lived up to all expectations.
