I thought this was a hoax when I first read it but it seems legit.....
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLKxtUcc6igZIMBABWE'S star long jumper Ngonidzashe Makusha once again stole the show from his Florida State University track and field teammates during the 2011 Atlantic Coast Conference Outdoor Championships at Durham in Northern Carolina, United States, at the weekend.
According to reports from Durham, Makusha won the long jump event on Friday with a good leap of 7,74m before he helped the FSU 4x100m relay team to a top place podium finish in the three-day championships.
The 23-year-old Zimbabwean's exploits in both the long jump and 4x100m relay events helped the FSU men's outdoor track and field team to sprint its way to the top spot on the conference podium just as it has done the last six consecutive seasons.
.......
Junior Maurice Mitchell, who was named the MVP of the men's track events, earned the individual title in the race by zooming to a lifetime best time of 20.19 that tied former FSU star Walter Dix's 2007 ACC record.
Finishing second was Brandon Byram (20,57) and Charles Clark (20,78) was third while Brandon O'Conner (20,91) place fourth.
........
Posting the first championship performance of the day were Kemar Hyman, Mitchell, Makusha and David Ambler.
The quartet of Seminoles raced to victory in the men's 400m relay thanks to a time of 39.61.
The win marked Makusha's second title of the weekend as he individually won the men's long jump on Friday.
And it wasn't his last.
Makusha blazed his way to a 9.97-second championship performance in the men's 100m dash to set the ACC record.J
oining Makusha on the podium after the lightning-quick race were Mitchell (10.03) and Hyman (10.27), who finished second and third, respectively. Ambler placed sixth with a time of 10.41.
"It might have been our biggest day at the conference meet ever," FSU head coach Bob Braman said.
"I mean Ngoni runs the fastest time in the world this year. Maurice runs the fifth-fastest time. We were really, really excited. It was a great day."
Makusha, who won the long jump competition a day earlier and is ranked No. 1 in the nation in that event, delivered a blistering time of 9,97 in the finals to knock off last year's champ, Mitchell, by just ,06 seconds.
It was the first time Makusha had competed in the 100m in his career. At any meet. And all the national-champion long jumper did was put up the fastest time in the world this year and break the ACC record in the process.
"Everyone went crazy," Braman said with a laugh.
"And then everyone immediately looked at the wind. Assuming it was five meters or something. Or a hurricane."
The tail-wind was a legal two metres. So now, along with Mitchell's 10.03, FSU sprints coach Ken Harnden's dynamic duo has two of the top five times in the world.
Harnden is a former Zimbabwean Olympian and is now coaching at FSU.
"The Florida coach texted Ken about 30 seconds after the race and said, 'congrats,'" Braman said.
Yep. Running a 9,97 and 10,03 gets everyone's attention real quick.Along with Makusha and Mitchell, Florida State's Kemar Hyman (10,27) finished in third place and David Ambler (10,41) finished sixth, giving the Seminoles 27 crucial points in the event.
