Adam Gemili is white half Iranian and half Morrocan, both Iranians and Morrocans are considered white.

Clavin,
Yes, it is spelled Pettus. Steve was Black, Jim was White. I did not know Ingram.

You guys not watch NCAA indoor? The 60m? You're just now taking notice of Teeter?

This site? Barely can pay attention to the distance races and you expect them to watch the sprints and field events?
Come ON man!
Teeters has already gone sub 10 (albeit with illegal wind) so his body knows what it feels like and its no surprise that he's on the cusp. Actually, it's 2 years overdue IMO
What is your point?
I knew about himn in HS so nope.
The wind is a very big deal in sprinting. We can't speculate anything because of windy performances.
He did have a 10.07PR so he is running his best right now.

Just that race does not matter, with hard work any one can be very good, not as good as Bolt, but very good, they used to say blacks cant run distance, now they dominate it, they used to say there would never be a black president or golfer then came Obama and Woods, they used to say whites could not sprint or jump then came Mennea, Koch, Dreschler, Alan Wells, Borzov etc. Now Japanese who they said could only be marathoners now good sprinters hurdlers, in time all these myths are proven wrong, we all descended from Adam and Eve, so everyone can be good at anything with hard work.
So you are sying there are no physical differences between us? That no the Asains aren't shorter and no the Samoans aren't huge....right? You honestly don't understand the differences in physique between Kenyans and Nigerians?
Where is that speedy, quick, elusive white 225 pound running back? How about that 6-3 white speed receiver? Where they at?
So what white guy belongs in this gang?
Usain Bolt
Jim Brown
Carl Lewis
Gale Sayers
Bo Jackson
Justin Gatlin
Yohan Blake
Jerry Rice
Donovan Bailey
Marcus Allen
Calvin Johnson
Eric Dickerson
Tyson Gay
Tommie Smith
Bob Hayes
Adrian Peterson
Barry Sanders
Terrell Owens
Earl Campbell
Mo Greene
Michael Johnson
Walter Payton
Randy Moss
Well?
If you think race isn't HUGE in sport you don't follow sports, there is a reason this team cannot be beat.
Shaq
Jabbar
Kobe
MJ
LeBron
Magic
Duncan
Robertson
Malone
...trust me.
Kevin Little was the last American sprinter of any value who was white.
200m specialist but ran 10.14 in the 100. Won an indoor 200m World title and made the finals of a couple of World Championships but didn't medal. Pretty long career at US National level.
Attended sprint factory Drake University and pulled from the mean streets of Des Moines.
Marti Krulee: 10.06 legal but then cheated by officials because he ran faster than Carl Lewis did in the other section that day. Went to sprint factory San Diego State under Dr. Dick Hill.
Ended up with a 10.18 wasn't it?
He walked on as SDS, wasn't much of a HS sprinter.So to do what he did, cool.
SDS did have Steve Williams, Howard Wiliams, David Russell, James Redd.
Marian Woronin from Poland. 10.00 (9.999)
Now list all of those NFL guys with a faster 40 time than Don Bebee (4.21). Not Gale Sayers, Not Jerry Rice, Not Calvin Johnson, Not Adrian Peterson, Not Randy Moss. I believe only Bo Jackson on that list can beat that.
Bill Walton
Larry Bird
Kevin McHale
Manu Ginobli
Jerry West
Gail Goodrich
John Stockman
Bob Cousy
And don't forget the Olympic basketball finals between the all-white Spain NBA players and the all-black American NBA players, and in one of these, it took 4th quarter heroics from Kobe Bryant to keep the Gasols, Fernandez, and Ricky Rubio from taking down the best black Americans. On a population-based contest, this isn't even close. Edge Spain.
Also list the black gold medals in LJ/HJ in the last Olympics. All one of them: Black men can't jump. And list all the gold medalists in Olympic weightlifting with African genetics.
This is the 1960 Olympic 100 meter final--Armin Hary against David Sime. If black sprinters are automatically superior, how come they didn't medal?

So what happened? In the six Olympics between Bobby Morrow and Carl Lewis, the 100m Olympic champions were equally divided between white and black. And then the whites totally disappeared. What happened was Tom Tellez and Carl Lewis and a training philosophy emphasizing conditioning over explosiveness, and perhaps black sprinters have an advantage in relaxation and max velocity but not necessarily explosive starts and acceleration. White sprinters like Teeters, Cunliff, Prandini are coming out of programs emphasizing power and explosiveness (both the Oregon and USC coaches are followers of Tony Wells), and for this I think we can thank the Jamaicans promoting power development and the need of American programs to compete with them. Sleds, hills, drop/depth jumps, not necessarily a lot of overdistance.
I am a white sprinter. Coach D are you kidding?Anyone with any knowledge of the sport and genetics knows in an instant there are massive differences. Why do you think there have been about 75 black men under 10 seconds and only 1 white? crazy fluke?

Christian McCaffrey? What black college RB is as quick and elusive as him?
No way Don Beebe was a 4.2 40 man. As he showed in the NFL Fastest Man competition. What white sprinter ever won that? Yep, none.
The fastest white NFLer was SMU sprinter John Roderick a legit 9.3, you don't know about him because he was a bust.
In 1952 Herb McKenley/Lindy Remigino hit the tape as one, some still think McKenley won, as did Remigino. And dont forget Jim Golliday the top ranked sprinter (black) was injured. There was also Morgan States Art Bragg also injured.
From 56-60 we saw the high point/pinnacle for white sprinters in the USA with Bobby Morrow and Dave Sime.
Now looking back, there had been.
Howard Drew
Eddie Tolan 32 Oly gold
Jesse Owens 36 Oly gold
Ralph Metcalf
Ben Johnson
Eulace Peacock
E. McDonald Bailey
Harrison Dilliard 48 Oly gold
Herb McKenley
Jim Golliday
Leamon King
Ira Murchison
Andy Stanfield
Wilie Williams
Dennis Johnson
Stone Johnson
Frank Budd
Ray Norton
when it comes to black WR holders, Olympic medalists prior to 1960. So it didn't start with Hayes in 64.
When looking at NFL RB's, receivers, cornerbacks, 110 hurdlers, long/triple jumpers, 400m sprinters, 100.200m sprinters we will be talking black athletes most the time, there is a reason for that.
There are more people living in Sprint that there are Black in America
First off he's not 225 pounds.
But to answer your qustion about what black RB's are faster than him.
Curtis Dickeyy 10.10 Tex A&M
Herschel Walker 10.23 Georgia
Bo Jackson 10.33 Auburn
Jamaal Charl;es 10.18 Texas
Michael Bennett 10.18 Wisconsin
Marcus Dupree 9.5 Oklahoma
O.J.Simpson 9.4 USC
Reggie Bush 10.4ish USC
Napolean Kaufman 10.4ish Washington
Andrew Hopkins 9.2 Stephen F.Austin
Bob Hayes 9.1 FAMU
Stone Johnson 9.3 Grambling
Butch Woolfolk 9,4 Michigan
Amos Marsh 9.5 Oregon
Buddy Young NCAA/AAU100m champ Illinois
Ollie Matson Oly 400m bronze U of SF

Living In Spain, I meant
