Jamaica’s Christopher Williams is fastest master of 2008

Every time you look around, another M35 sprint star shows up. The latest is Christopher Williams, whose IAAF profile shows him as 36. At Saturday’s Reebok meet in New York, where some kid named Bolt ran a quick 100, Christopher took fourth in the deuce with a legal 20.75. He also had the fastest reaction time in the field (at 0.157 second). On May 17, Chris ran the 1 in 10.30, making him quicker than even American Jeff Laynes, 37, who has a 10.31 this year. So nice run, CW! Keep it up. (BTW, the listed M35 WR is 20.40 by Britain’s Linford Christie in 1996, but Christopher ran 20.17 a year ago at age 35 — also at the Reebok meet. Linford has an unrecognized 20.11 as an M35, however.)
