Holy crap those marks are huge.
A little too huge.
He was scorching indoors...he seems to have fully availed himself of all the ncaa program has to offer.
Those times are really smoking, along with Norman’s. Norman’s is WAY up there, with Gatlin’s 9.74 season opener of a few years ago; Oduduru is more reasonable, but holy crap...and a double.
Coleman and Lyles had both better bring their best this year. Great to see these young guys tearing it up! Hope Bloomfield is completely healthy, he is another young phenom IMO
Making it more impressive - both marks are wind legal as both had a wind reading of .8 m/s. Also the races were less than 1 hour apart. The 100 was scheduled to go off at 2:05 and the 200 at 3:00

If the time was 9.94 officially, please change it on the thread headline. The scoreboard read 9.95.
He looked better in the 200. Within the first 30m he had made up his stagger on Mike Rogers.
Jon Mulkeen is reporting that Oduduru is the 10th man in history to go sub-10 and sub-20 on the same day. Bolt never did it.

Calvin Smith was the first man in history to achieve a one-day sub-10/20 double with his 9.97 and 19.99 clockings in Zurich in 1983. Ato Boldon produced six such doubles between 1996 and 2000 and he was later joined in the club by Shawn Crawford in 2002, Walter Dix in 2010, Justin Gatlin in 2014, Femi Ogunode in 2015, Akani Simbine and Christian Coleman in 2017, and Isiah Young in 2018.
Was the 19.76 wind legal? If so I think that’s a Nigerian record. I’m loving this new generation of sprinters. I love the 200 and I really hope it finally comes together again for the championships this year
Have we ever had a weekend in April with this many performances this good on the track (and in the field)? Crouser, these sprints (the 2nd- and 3rd-place doubles were impressive, too), Norman, hell, even Suhr taking a crack (although not clearing) at some big heights. Or is it always like this around Mt. SAC weekend and I just don't remember?
Maybe Bolt did it several times in training in his prime and we don't know.
