Tennessee's Christian Coleman Sets NCAA 100m Record
You may want to get used to the idea of Christian Coleman becoming the new "fastest man in the world" at the next Summer Olympics.
Per Chris Chavez of SI.com, the Tennessee sprinter set an all-time collegiate record Wednesday evening when he won his NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships semifinal 100-meter race with a dominating run that took him only 9.82 seconds.

Perhaps just as astonishing, Coleman's time is the ninth-fastest in history and the overall best in the world this year in the 100 meters.
Tyson Gay, Justin Gatlin and Maurice Greene are the only Americans in history with faster times.
Coleman is only a junior, so it's not a stretch to suggest his best, and fastest, may be yet to come.
