Xavier Carter wins unprecedented triple and congratulations
from Maurice Greene by John Dye In 35 years of Arcadia, no one had ever won a sprint triple (100-200-400). Now they have. Xavier Carter, wearing the black and white skull and crossbones singlet of Palm Bay Melbourne FL, crossed the continent to lay his claim as the nation's best sprinter. He opened with an explosive finish in the 100 to overcome a poor start. At 70 meters, he was trailing Derrick Jones of California and J-Mee Samuels of North Carolina. But Carter cranked up the power and crossed the finish line a decisive winner in 10.38 +1.2. The next two parts of the triple were routine as Carter overpowered the fields from the beginning to win the 400 in 46.72 and the 200 in 20.85 -1.0. By the 200, only two brave souls dared to challenge Carter. 100 meters 10.38 - 6:53 pm
Carter was pleased with his
PR as he was interviewed by Ricky Quintana
