Who was the 99 year old in the 100 meters?
It was a photo finish — five-hundredths of a second seperated him and the only other runner in the heat, 99-year-old World War II veteran and pilot Orville Rogers. Hemphill led for 55 meters but was nipped at the line. “I took off, and I was a little bit ahead so I thought, ‘This is going well,’” Hemphill said.
