The Fast and the Furious

May 9, 1975

On May 9, 1975 Houston McTear, a high school junior from Baker County, Fla., streaked to a 9.0 second clocking in the 100-yard dash, tying the record that Ivory Crockett of the Philadelphia A.A.U. club set the year before. Crockett had broken the great Bob Hayes's 1963 record by a tenth of a second.
