Jamaica breaks the Penn Relays and Franklin Field record with a 37.90 victory (was 37.92 set in 2009 by Walter Dix, Travis Padgett, Shawn Crawford, Darvis Patton).

It was reported Usain Bolt’s Anchor Leg was 8.71 seconds.

Fastest 100 meter split ever recorded?

Sorry, no.

At the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Asafa Powell’s split time was recorded at 8.70 seconds by the USTAF High Performance Registered Split Analysis team.

Other Anchor Splits

At the 2007 World Championships in Osaka, Asafa Powell’s anchor split was 8.84 seconds.

Carl Lewis’ anchor leg at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics was 8.85 en route to a World Record of 37.40 seconds.

“Bullet” Bob Hayes recorded a 8.5 second (hand time) 4×100 meter anchor relay leg at the 1964 Tokyo Olympics. Converted to FAT, that translates to 8.74 seconds.

    Oh, about the “adjustment” for Bullet Bob Hayes’s 8.5 second anchor leg on a cinder track, you don’t add .24 seconds. Why?, because the frames of the footage can be frozen and the exact time can be determined. Thus, there is no need to account for human reaction time and inaccuracy. BTW, I hand-timed the video and his anchor leg was 8.4 seconds. Whatever his true leg segment was, it could be determined by frame analysis. That said, I believe that his anchor leg some 46 years ago is still the fastest ever run by any human.
