SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Mike Rodgers had already overcome a broken ankle and two torn ligaments in his right ankle this year. A change of direction in the 100-meter final was much easier to handle.
Running into a headwind, Rodgers won his first American title Friday night when he edged Ryan Bailey at the finish in the U.S. Outdoor Track and Field Championships.
Rodgers won in 10.09 seconds.
