In the words of my roommate: "They had cheese at the end of the run. 'Hurry Frenchman. They have cheese.'"

I'm pretty sure no other white dude has done it, at least in competition. The people over at CF were also talking about this as the first time and some of them have been around elite track for a long time.

Well, Marian Woronin ran 9.992, but that was rounded up to 10.0.

A half-white half-aborigine guy ran 9.93. I do not know if that counts though.

I would be so pissed if they rounded up like that, under 10 is still under 10 no matter how close it is.
