You do realize that a 9.4 would have been a world record in 1959.

No sir. Frank Wycoff ran a 9.4 (without blocks) as early as 1930. In HS, Jesse Owens ran a 9.4 in 1933. Mel Patton ran a 9.3 as early as 1948.

Several guys were running hand timed 9.4s in the late 50s. One of them was the SEC 100 yard champion, coincidentally LSU's Billy Cannon.

Thank you, please drive thru.
