The world record for 100 metres is 9.71 seconds.

The 100 yard dash is not generally used in international events (having been replaced by the 100 metre sprint). However, it is still occasionally run in the United States in certain competitions.

The world record for the 100 yard dash is 9.0 seconds flat by R.P. Williams in 1906.

I don't know who this R. P. Williams is, but no runner in 1906 ever came close to a 100 yd. time of 9.0 sec. The world record for the 100 yds was 9.2 in the early 1960's and was lowered in 1966 to 9.1. by Canada's Harry Jerome. Maybe "1906" should read 1976 or 1986.
