 SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - Trindon Holliday emphatically stamped his name on the list of rising young American sprinters with the third fastest time in the world this year. The LSU sophomore was clocked in 10.02 seconds in the 100-meter semifinals Wednesday night at the NCAA track and field championships. Holliday outshone the better-known Walter Dix of Florida State in the semis on the opening day of the four-day competition at Sacramento State.
"I don't feel like I had to make a statement," Holliday said. "I just wanted to qualify for Friday. I feel pretty good. I think I came out pretty good today."
Dix, the collegiate record holder and reigning NCAA champ at 200 meters, won his heat at 10.13, easing off at the finish. The two will square off in the finals on Friday.
