Just how fast is David Foster?
He ran 10.29 seconds in the 100m in February -- although Texas is historically bad at recording wind ... and sometimes you can't always believe the times, either. This one raised some eyebrows considering Foster didn't break 11 seconds as a sophomore.
But here are a few facts we can't debate:
The Katy Tompkins rising senior has been getting faster and faster and faster since going a legit 10.60 in June at the Leander Spartans Invitational. He has followed with wind-legal and FAT times of 10.51 and 10.49 seconds, respectively, at two separate meets in July. In the 200m, Foster also recorded a career best effort of 21.31 seconds at the Track Dynamite Meet on July 4. A year prior, he went 23.04.
Maybe everything went right that day and Foster is a legit 10.29 man. Maybe it's all mechanics.
Or maybe he just needs to offer some more evidence.
If nothing else, he should be in the hunt for a podium spot -- if not an outright win -- this week at the Games. The only question will be: Just how fast will the Texan go?
He might be able to offer a fantastic answer to that question soon enough.
