Willie Gault, 46, lays down a legal 10.89 for 100
Willie Gault celebrated his company’s recent sale of a part of Aloha Airlines to United by running 100 meters in 10.89 seconds Saturday at the same Oxy Invitational where Jim Sorensen ran his M40 AR in the 800. The wind on Willie’s race was a legal 1.2 meters per second. Willie ran 10.72 last year in Indy. But he’s getting closer. Also: Richard Holmes, who turns 40 sometime this year, clocked a legal 15.14 in the 110 hurdles (probably the 42-inch kind) at Oxy. Pretty swift.
Here are some results from the Oxy 100:
