Allyson Felix and David Oliver win 2010 Jesse Owens Award
Allyson Felix, who is a track and field favorite in the 400m, 200m and 100m sprint events, has made her mark not only on the track but in history. Winning this prestigious award for the third time in her career Felix is a top contender in the 200m with the second fastest time in the world of 22.03. Us track and field fans look forward to her upcoming indoor season. As for David Oliver, this is his first time winning the award. Undefeated for 15 races straight this summer, Olive dominates his event, the110m high hurdle. Standing at 6'2 this 205lb muscle bound man has definitely given veterans in this event, such as previous record holder Terrence Trammel, a scare. This season will definitely be one to watch.
