100 Yard Dash Records and the Nine-Second Dream
Special to The Washington Post traces speed gains in 100 yards from the 1870s to the era of Duffey, Wefers, Kelly, and Owen. It notes amateur Owen as likely first under ten seconds, Wefers’ later feats, and Duffey’s 9.35-second mark, with ongoing debate over earlier speeds and prospects for a nine-second barrier within a decade.
