World Rankings Update -- Men's Sprints

I'm a little off the normal update schedule here, but I've been re-tweaking the system just a tiny bit.

100 meters
1. Michael Rodgers, USA, 113
2. Daniel Bailey, ANT, 101
3. Monzavous Edwards, USA, 74
4. Dwain Chambers, GBR, 63
5. Travis Padgett, USA, 57
6. Darvis Patton, USA, 56
7. Steve Mullings, JAM, 54
8. Trindon Holliday, LSU, 50
9. Jacoby Ford, Clemson, 43
10. Churandy Martina, AHO, 41
With two wins in two weeks over good fields, Rodgers is undoubtedly the top century man right now. Edwards is also a minor name who is earning notice, with second-places in Hengelo and Eugene. Holliday and Ford have a showdown at this weekend's NCAA championships.

200 meters
1. LaShawn Merritt, USA, 66
2. Dwain Chambers, GBR, 51
3. Brendan Christian, ANT, 50
4. Michael Rodgers, USA, 50
5. Tyson Gay, USA, 42
6. Darvis Patton, USA, 33
7. Monzavous Edwards, USA, 32
8. Jeremy Wariner, USA, 32
9. Ivory Williams, USA, 27
10. Xavier Carter, USA, 25
Merritt's fast 300 race in Eugene earned a few bonus points, and while he won't be atop the rankings in this event come August he's still a force to be reckoned with under any circumstances. Gay's remarkable run in New York rockets him up to #5 on one race, while those above him have run anywhere from two to five.

400 meters
1. LaShawn Merritt, USA, 76
2. Jeremy Wariner, USA, 47
3. Gil Roberts, Tex Tech, 26
4. Renny Quow, TRI, 26
5. Sean Wroe, AUS, 23
6. Andrae Williams, BAH, 22
7. Tabarie Henry, Bart JC, 20
8. Chris Brown, BAH, 17
9. Michael Bingham, Wk Fst, 15
10. Greg Nixon, USA, 13
Merritt has so far shown a hand much stronger than that of Wariner, and I think much of the Texan's decision to return to Clyde Hart was out of fear of never beating Merritt again.
