Wallace Spearmon breaks Drake Relays 200m meet record

Wallace Spearmon broke the Drake Relays 200m meet record with a time of 20.02sec, and was delighted to better the mark set 15 years ago by athletics great Michael Johnson.

"I started looking at the clock a little early," Spearmon admitted on Saturday. "To be mentioned in the same sentence as (Johnson) is a great honor."

Spearmon's time was three-hundredths of a second better than the previous meet record set by Johnson in 1997.

Spearmon has already run under 20 seconds this season, clocking 19.95 in Arlington, Texas, last month.
