9.89 🙏🏼 They call me BLAST-KOWSKI for a reason! New PB in the 100m. Breaking 10 wasn't just the goal it became an obsession. Years of sacrifice, hard work, discipline & belief all came together on the track. Thank you all for the support, just getting this career started. ♾️
This past weekend at the Music City Track Carnival, Sam Blaskowski ran 9.89 in the 100 meters for a World No. 2 and the fastest performance by an American man in 2026 thus far. It was 0.16 faster than his previous personal best. 💨
And yes, it’s the fastest 100m performance ever by a white guy but he’d much rather bring attention to his progression and what he’s hoping to achieve next.
He is 23 years old. He went to a D3 school in Wisconsin where both his parents went to college and his grandparents lived a mile from the track. He graduated with 11 individual national titles and worked at a small regional airport to save money on travel. This year, he moved to Florida to train with Star Athletics alongside Kenny Bednarek and Sha’Carri Richardson.
And by his own read, he hasn’t peaked yet.

Last night I received an email from a father that his 21 year old son Anthony was walking in a crosswalk in Huntington Beach when a car hit him going 60 mph then left the scene in a hit and run. His son shattered both legs, broke all his ribs, his collarbone and much more. The father was so grateful his son was alive, but being he and his son are both gym rats that love to follow me, he asked me if I could email him some words of encouragement to help lift his spirts up as he lay in the hospital. I did him one better. Being that it was so close to me, I immediately called all local hospitals looking for a trauma center with his son in it. After calling 5 hospitals, I found where he was and around 7:30 PM drove over to surprise him. I knocked on the door and walked in to see the biggest smile on Anthony’s face as he said “No way!”. I explained to him that his father emailed me and I decided sending him an email wasn’t enough I just had to come see him. Anthony is truly an incredible, kindhearted young man with a long road ahead of him to heal. Please keep this young man and his family in your thoughts and prayers. I will keep you all updated as he hopefully makes a full recovery.
Two of the best in NCAA history.
