Quote from Tyson Gay from the USATF
Tyson Gay, Heat 1 - American and Hayward Field Record (9.77)
"After the first round, I was scared. I almost started crying as soon as I crossed the line because I thought I didn't make it. I was pretty nervous, but this round I ran through the line. I eased up a little bit. I had my arms in here so I wasn't trying to exert too much energy."
On breaking the record: "I eased up a little bit, but I'm not worried about the record. I thank God that I was able to run a PR, but that's what I want to do in the finals."
Dana Pounds (Lexington Christian) won her flight of the Javelin with a toss of 187-10. The finals will be held Monday at 8:20pm Pacific.
