Event 1 – 100 Meter - Preview

The runners are all stretched out and we are about to get underway. The 100 Meters will be run in 2 heats, with 8 in the first and 7 in second.

Heat 1

L1 -Schaplowsky
L2 - Rambis Jr
L3 - Honcho
L4 - Babson
L5 - Ketola
L6 - Jordan
L7 - Nielsen
L8 - Mighty


Heat 2

L1 - Bafou
L2 - Llyw
L3 - Palmiero
L4 - Chilton
L5 - Ginsberg
L6 - Peltonen
L7 - Path

The first heat should be much faster than the second one with big time sprinters Babson and Ketola in the first heat along with the very strong Nielsen, Honcho, Jordan, Might and Rambis Jr. In fact, poor Schaplowsky is the only runner in the first 8 you wouldn’t consider at least good in this event…he’ll almost certainly not only come in last, but the rest of the field might be sitting and having a meal before he reaches the line.

In heat two you’ll see a much wider spread in ability as Chilton is the only athlete that can be considered a top end sprinter for a decathlete. However, Palmiero and Ginsberg are capable of ripping off a fast time. The rest will be also rans in this event, but hoping to earn as many points as possible.
