100 yards = 300 ft = 91.43 meters. So at the same speed, this would be covered in 8.86 secs. WOW! I don't suppose any top class athletes would do 100 yards nowadays, but it would be interesting.
100 miles isn't an event, but 100 meters or yards is.

It's Usain Bolt!
2.69 seconds
In 1963, Bob Hayes set a world record of 9.1 in the 100-yard dash. However, at the Beijing Olympics in 2008, Usain Bolt established a world record in the 100-meter dash of 9.69. Today, sprint distances are measured in meters, not yards, and 100 meters = 109.361 yards. As Mr Hayes in his record-breaking effort ran 1 yard every .91 seconds, his time for 100 meters would have been at least 9.95 seconds, or more than 1/4-second (.26 seconds) slower than the record set by Mr. Bolt in 2008.
