Superfan Rankings Update: 400 meters

Over the last two days I've updated the rankings in the sprints.  Now it's time for the quarter.

MEN
Rank Athlete NAT Pts
1 Jeremy Wariner USA 99
2 Angelo Taylor USA 96
3 Calvin Smith USA 79.5
4 LaJerald Betters USA 77
5 Tyson Gay USA 72
6 Jermaine Gonzales JAM 71
7 Kirani James GRN 64
8 Greg Nixon USA 60
8 Tavaris Tate USA 60
10 Torrin Lawrence USA 47
11 Chris Brown BAH 36
12 Jamaal Torrence USA 34
13 Jonathan Borlée BEL 28
14 Donald Sanford USA 27
15 Demetrius Pinder BAH 26
16 Ben Offereins AUS 21
16 Michael Bingham GBR 21
16 Rennie Quow TRI 21
19 David Neville USA 20.5
20 Ricardo Chambers JAM 20
Some event leaders have over 300 points and most have at least 200. No one here has topped 100 points yet, telling you just how weak this event is this year. Wariner leads practically by default. USATF champ Nixon is back at #8; his only two outdoor wins both came in Drake Stadium.

WOMEN
Rank Athlete NAT Pts
1 Debbie Dunn USA 186
2 Amantle Montsho BOT 172
3 Shericka Williams JAM 151
4 Novlene Williams-Mills JAM 148
5 Allyson Felix USA 114
6 Ana Kapachinskaya RUS 85
7 Tatyana Firova RUS 81.5
8 Natasha Hastings USA 70
9 Francena McCorory USA 68
10 Kseniya Ustalova RUS 63
11 Antonina Krivoshapka RUS 62
12 Vania Stambolova BUL 41
13 Rosemarie Whyte JAM 40
14 Kseniya Zadorina RUS 34
15 Antonina Yefremova UKR 31
16 Natalya Nazarova RUS 29.5
17 Monica Hargrove USA 28
18 Denisa Rosolová CZE 27
19 Christine Ohuruogu GBR 26
20 Shereefa Lloyd JAM 24
Leader Dunn is the only woman to have broken 50 seconds, won two deep races, and dominated the indoor season. Felix has run this event only two times, keeping her from ranking higher. The USA claims five of the top 20, Jamaica four, Russia six, and five for the rest of the world put together.
