Christian Coleman breaks NCAA 100M record and posts fastest time of the year

He ran a 9.82 in the Semis, breaking the previous record of 9.89. LINK
He will have a chance to break it again on Friday in the finals. Coleman has put together an incredible season. In the indoor season he won the 60 and 200 meters, tying the NCAA record in the 60 with a 6.45, which is .06 off Maurice Greene's world record, and the 6th fastest time ever. He was also .01 seconds from the NCAA record in the 200 meters indoors.
His 9.82 is faster than the career bests of Olympic silver medalist Andre de Grasse (9.91) and world bronze medalist Trayvon Brommell (9.84). He's gone under 10 seconds at least 6 times this year. He also ran a 4.12 40 in that gimmicky video a few weeks ago, although I have no doubt he would easily defeat anyone who has ever run the 40 at the combine.

Three sub-10's and about five more that were a nipple hair away from it as well. Is that normal for the NCAA final or is the track just running fast?

This may be a stupid question, but does how a track is built/material under their feet make a runner faster?
To be fair I was watching these heats and the annoucers all said the times were "wind legal" with an aided wind of .8 meters/second (around 1-2 mph)

I just saw that Bama DB Tony Brown ran a 10.12.
THat's a good question, and I'm not sure. However, I have noticed that the 200 and 400 times aren't blazing, and we are way off from some high profile guys PRing in other events.

When you're talking about a race where hundredths of a second can make a difference, temperature, wind, moisture, and so forth can make a pretty big difference.
That said, I just watched the race, and he smoked everyone. He was moving.

This guy ran the 4x100 in Rio, right?

Only the semis, I think

Too bad he is too small to play football.
5'9 157lbs.

Fastest time of the year among all 100 meter runners in the world. Including pros like Justin Gatlin and Andre De Grasse and Usain Bolt.
And fastest NCAA time ever.

That's good and all, but no way in HELL the dude would beat Bolt. Would be entertaining to watch though, just to see the anticipation of people watching Coleman take the lead through 40m and think he legitimately has a chance to win the race, only to have Bolt fly past him like a bat outta hell at 50m+ while cruising to an easy victory.

Bolt's still the best runner in the world, but he has come down in the past 2-3 years. He's now winning titles with 9.79, 9.81, etc. But I'm sure he will close out his career this August with a final championship in the 100.
But once this cycle is up, it's anyone's game, and I think Noah Lyles in the 200 and Christian Coleman in the 100 are as likely to be the next star as anyone else.
With that being said, the next generation of stars will be like the pre-Bolt stars (Greene, Bolden, Bailey, Michael Johnson, etc) who are very good but not guarantees at every major title.
