Faster Than a Speeding Bullet? That’s Our Justin!

Gatlin blazes to world title
HELSINKI, Finland — Pensacola’s Justin Gatlin didn’t just win the 100 meters at the world track and field championships, he dominated it like no other sprinter in the meet’s history.
The 23-year-old Olympic champion and Woodham High School graduate bolted away from the overmatched competition Sunday to win in 9.88 seconds, 17-hundredths of a second ahead of runner-up Michael Frater of Jamaica. The margin of victory was the largest in the 10 world championships.

We’re awful proud of you!
