This along with revew of today's Vancouver Columbia paper account of the best runners in that area, Dunn is listed at 10.9 (obviously a round up on his 10.84-hence not FAT).
As noted the 2d fastest sprinter in the state to date, Marlon Murray, Highline, 10.81, and Jennings, of Ferris a hand time (10.5), with a FAT (21.99). Jennings coming back from a hamstring in 2006, has tweaked it and been resting for the bigger meets. It is a good bet if healthy he is the legit challenge to Hamilton and they both are 4A.
As for Wafer at his best it has been my observation healthy or otherwise not a match for Hamilton or Jennings as he has never competed well against either.
