I saw a guy at the Cal meet a while back run faster than 9.97

Never mind I just looked it up and the guy ran 9.98
I thought Tyson Gay ran 9.79
I don't get it. Why the big whoop? It's even on my local paper's Website, front page. Yeah, it's fast, but Dix's 19.69 200 the other day didn't get a mention, and that was by an American. Is it all about what comes over the wires? Or do editor's think this means it was a world record, so they throw it up there?
My bad TG's 9.79 was wind-aided.
its because espn only covers the 100m in track. THey probably think its what all the best athletes participate in. ON ESPN, if they ever show highlights of a track meet its always the 100
