‘Records are meant to be broken.’ Or are they? Well, this clearly doesn’t apply to Christian Coleman. The man’s known for having some really long-standing records in track and field. For example, his 60m world record is 7 years, and no one’s even hovered close to his time. Let alone the NCAA young guns, even elites haven’t. But that isn’t the only one. Another one sits proudly in the collegiate record books. Only this weekend, an 18-year-old tried his luck at shattering it. Did he succeed?
We’re talking about none other than Maurice Gleaton. The American who is a Georgia commit now just ran a blistering 10.01s run in Florida. Right from the upright position to the finish line, the boy was in the lead. In the final few meters, he was so far away, that it looked like he was running in an entirely different time zone. However, his 10.01s, though incredible enough, could not beat Christian Coleman’s 9.82s NCAA record set in 2017. So yes, his dominance remains unchallenged!
