adidas Track Classic: Wariner dominates field in 400m

American Jeremy Wariner, a 2004 Olympic Gold Medalist who is represented by Michael Johnson, was able to top Olympians Darold Williams and Jamaica’s Michael Blackwood for yet another win in the 400m at today’s adidas Track Classic.

Wariner, who was initially behind Blackwood, took the lead after the first turn and ran away with the race. He finished and won the event in 44.60; a time that was a bit slower than Wariner would have liked because of the wind on the backstretch.

Wariner is already talking about eclipsing Johnson’s 400m world record at this year’s World Championships. Although Wariner doesn’t possess the same breakaway speed as Johnson, he does seem have the type of endurance and passion that will be necessary for such a feat.

Complete Results:

1 JEREMY WARINER USA 44.60
2 CHRIS BROWN BAH 45.10
3 SANJAY AYRE JAM 45.25
4 MICHAEL BLACKWOOD JAM 45.38
5 DAROLD WILLIAMSON USA 45.40
6 DERRICK BREW USA 45.77
7 MILTON CAMPBELL USA 46.25
8 JAMEL ASHLEY USA 46.49
9 DAVID NEVILLE USA 47.09
