One only has to look at the Running Backs in the NFL
You mean officially - i.e. not with a wind asissted time.

"Macrozonaris had his greatest triumph of his young career in late June [2002] at the Canadian Championships as he became the first man since Glenroy Gilbert in 1994 other than Bruny Surin or Donovan Bailey to win the 100 metres. Macro ran 9.96w in the heats and held off strong opponents to win the final in 9.91w becoming the first ever white sprinter to break ten seconds twice under any condition."

If Alan Wells had started sprinting earlier (didn't start until he was 24) he'd have done it too!
