MERRITT’S BROWN CRACKS INTO NORTHERN CAL’S HISTORIC CENTER OF SPEED
 
The Pacific Association (Northern California) area has long been known as the center of world speed. The latest installment was a then world-leading 9.93 seconds 100 meter time by Kemarley Brown of Oakland’s Merritt College at the California Community College Athletic Association Championships on May 17 at Mt. San Antonio College, setting a National JC and community college record. That was the fastest time ever by a NorCal based athlete at any level and the No. 3 all-time collegiate time.
 
The No. 2 mark is 9.92 by Ato Boldon in 1996, while competing at UCLA. Boldon, however, is a Northern California high school “product” out of San Jose and was a state community college champion for San Jose City College before transferring to UCLA. A citizen of Trinidad, Boldon later won Olympic medals for his country. Brown hopes to do the same for his native Jamaica. He currently leads all athletes from that country of speed.
 
Previous best by a NorCal based athlete was the 9.95 by former world record holder and 1968 Olympic champion Jim Hines – also out of Oakland.
 
The legendary “Night of Speed” took place in Sacramento during the 1968 USA Outdoor Championships at Sacramento City College’s Hughes Stadium. Three American men (including Hines) broke the world record in the 100 meters, running 9.9 seconds (hand-timed) in the semifinals.
 
San Jose State was known as “Speed City” in those days – with 1968 Olympic stars Tommie Smith, Lee Evans, and John Carlos — as the USA dominated all of the sprint races from 100 through 400 meters.   
 
Notes: The American collegiate record is 9.93 by Walter Dix of Florida State in 2007 – during the NCAA Championships at Sacramento State. He is now based in Los Angeles.
(The top two all-time college marks – and four of the top five — are by foreign collegians.)
The fastest time ever run on a California track was 9.86 by Ato Boldon in 1998 – at Mt. SAC. Boldon also has the fastest time ever in Northern California, 9.89, at the Modesto Relays in 1997.
See California all-time list below.

May I say that @spectrum's internet service sucks? I just love speaking with the robotic voice on #Spectrum. I am thinking of just bringing an old router up from the basement. More reliable. First ...router ever, from #Flickr.
