Starting with one interesting fact is that Gudžius actually decided to participate here and it's his first competition after his operation.

Divine Oduduru and Cravon Gillespie both ran under 10 seconds for the 100 and under 20 seconds for the 200 at the NCAAs last night.

Both races took place within an hour

I think you're not doing Oduduru full justice by just saying he ran under 10 and 20 seconds, 9.86 and 19.73 (with only +0.8m/s instead of the usual NCAA hurricane-force wind backing them up) within an hour is incredibly impressive at absolute elite level, let alone college level

Holloway also did a 43.75 split during the 4x4

I found Roberts more impressive though, a huge mistake on the 9th hurdle cost him the victory I reckon
