Willie Gault ‘wipes the dust off’ in winning Mt. SAC 100 in record
Former Super Bowl champ Willie Gault is no hot dog — despite his recent remarks about being faster than all but 8-10 current NFL speedsters. After winning the Mt. SAC masters 100 in an event record 11.28 seconds, he simply walked off to the west stands. I managed to flag him down for a short Q&A, which I posted as a video for Times of San Diego. He says he weighs 173 pounds, and I remarked he looks lighter than a few years back, when he set M50 world records in the 100 and 200. He said it was his first race in two years. If he could go sub-11 this year, that would be incredible.
