Touché.

Pretty cool though right? Two Tennessee sprinters going for a world record together?

This us pretty cool. Especially when you think about how small the window is for them to do this considering where Gatlin is at in his career. The sky is the limit for Cole man it seems and this could be one of many triumphs for him

The other two members of the 4x4 team are Willie Gault and Sam Graddy. Richmond Flowers is rumored to be the alternate.

Willie Gault is only about 1.3-1.5 seconds off his 100m time of his youth. At age 56. He still holds the record of world's fastest man over 50.

His records in the 100 and 200 in the last 2 years just have etched above 11 secs and 23 secs. not bad for an old fart. I remember sub 20 200's in HS.

So we need more negative threads discussing a tiny sliver of information that some reporter gathered while viewing the open part of spring practice.....and yet two VFL's that are at the pinnacle of a sport, that helped put UT football on the map, can't have a thread here?
