Yes.

At 18, I was the N.J. State Champion in the 100 yard dash in 1962 @ 9.71 secs.

As a senior the same year, was the NJ Prep All State QB, 6’ 180, threw for 25 TDS ran for 15. Recruited by Rutgers, BC, UMass, and Penn but they didn’t have my major

Walked on to SU football and track. Team mate of Floyds who ran the same time.

Never ran sprints after SU. The below is right on, hope this answers your question.

On August 16, 2009, under the lights of Berlin’s Olympic Stadium at the World Championships[B], 22-year-old[/B] Usain Bolt strikes a lightning-bolt pose and grins before taking his mark. Then the Jamaican, already the fastest man in the world, shatters his own world record in the 100-meter dash, winning the event in 9.58 seconds. He becomes the first to run the event in less than 9.6 seconds.

A sprinter's peak is generally reached [B]between the ages of 23 and 30[/B]. The best sprinters (i.e. Gold Medals) generally peak at ages 22, 26, or 30. The mean AND median age is 26.

Older sprinters take shorter steps and their feet spend longer in contact with the ground, presumably because [B]they're less able to generate explosive force with each step[/B]. That's consistent with the finding that older sprinters have less muscle, and in particular less fast-twitch muscle, than younger sprinters.
