The G.O.A.T.

Check out (almost) every result from 1995 to 2005 of the greatest 100 metre sprinter of all time, Maurice Greene.  I have compiled a listing of 310 races that Greene has competed in since March 26, 1994.  The list also includes the winners of the races Greene did not win and different statistics for Greene.  If you have any additions to the list or can make any corrections please e-mail me.  There will be more to come on this work later this season.
