Rerun of torrid AOC Raleigh duel between Bershawn Jackson FL and Kenneth Ferguson MI looms for Saturday's final. After Ferguson beat defending champion Dwight Ruff, 51.26 to 21.60, in section 1, Jackson upped the ante by demolishing section 2 in an eased up 50.33. That made the Miami speedster US#5 all time in this event. Ferguson became US#9 all time last week at Raleigh when he beat Jackson in 50.55 after the two engaged in a reckless sprint around the last turn and both crashed into the next to last hurdle.
