Kerley leads red, white & blue sweep of 100 at worlds

Associated Press  

EUGENE, Ore. — Before the race, U.S. fighter jets zoomed over the stadium. Fred Kerley led the charge Saturday on an All-American night for track and field, headlining the first U.S. sweep of the sport’s marquee event, the men’s 100, in 31 years at the worlds. This one felt more like a bunch of comeback stories and “I told ya so’s.” “It’s amazing to be around the greats,” Kerley said. “They did it in ‘91, and now we did it in ’22.” Kerley, the 27-year-old Texan, came into Eugene as the favorite — the only sprinter to crack 9.8 seconds this year. “A lot of people didn’t expect us to do this, obviously from what happened to me in Tokyo,” said Bromell, who almost walked away from the sport a few years ago due to Achilles injuries.
