Congrats Demps!!!!! Making the Break Away Track Club proud!
"Boy, did he advance.
In the quarterfinal round, while in the blocks, Gay asked for the field to be called up. Standing up, he tore off his left hip number and cast it to the side. When the gun went off, so did Gay, driving through the entire race and finishing in 9.77 (+1.6mps) to break Maurice Greene's American record of 9.79 set in Athens in 1999, as well as Greene's Olympic Trials record of 9.91 from 2004. Crossing the finish after Gay was high schooler Jeff Demps of Okahumpka, Florida, who crushed two records and tied a third with his time of 10.01. It broke Walter Dix's American junior record of 10.06 from 2005 as well as J-Mee Samuels' national high school record of 10.08, also from 2005. He tied the world junior record of 10.01, held since 2003 by Darrel Brown of Trinidad & Tobago.
