Ronnie Baker

Ronnie Baker is one of those sprinters whose name casual fans might miss, but the numbers stop me cold: a 6.40 over 60 meters makes him the third-fastest human in history at that distance. That's not a footnote, that's elite. I appreciate that he came up through Texas Christian University rather than a track powerhouse, which suggests real self-belief. Indoor specialists like him rarely get the spotlight reserved for the 100-meter stars, and I think that's a shame. When someone is measurably among the best ever at anything, even a niche event, it deserves more than a passing glance.
