As quoted in the Mansfield News Journal,
"It would have been nice to win
both (the 100 and vault)," Boyd said, "but I'll take it. It's a
treat to beat Jamario O'Neal's brother in the 100, especially
since he beat me handily the other time we met. I had a good
start, which is important because I'm not the best at keeping up
speed the whole race." Boyd's heavy workload took a toll
in the vault. By the time the bar was put at 14 feet, Boyd had
already run prelims in the 100 and 200 and finals in the 100 and
4 x 200.
"I don't want to make excuses, but
everything felt like jello," Boyd said. "I was worn out. I don't
usually run both the 100 and 200, but they needed me to do it
tonight as part of the team effort."
That pretty much tells the story.
