Bradbury Scuffle 6 Mile Trail Race (2009)

by Blaine Moore | Race Results

This past weekend was the second annual Bradbury Scuffle. It was an absolutely beautiful day, and by beautiful I mean in the traditional sunny sense and not in the rainy way that it was beautiful last year. We still had plenty of mud, though, because before the race...

by Blaine Moore | Race Results

In another wind-aided run of 100 meters, Tyson Gay ran (as I like to put it) not quite slow to finish in 9.75 seconds. That’s the 7th fastest 100 meters ever run under any conditions, although it is not eligible for the record books given the assist from Mother...
