Entire 100-meter dash field posts sub-10 second finish in historic first

Back in 1968, Jim Hines made international news as the first man to ever finish the 100-meter dash in under 10 seconds officially.

Nowadays, that feat might not even get you into the finals.

A group of eight men competing in the Prefontaine Classic on Saturday collectively sped past the 10-second mark in a historic first for the track world. Canada's Andre de Grasse took the win, while Americans Fred Kerley and Ronnie Baker finished in second and third respectively.

Both de Grasse's and Kerley's time were both faster than the 9.
