Lambert Claims World Title

Former Harvard sprint standout Chris Lambert has a new title -- that of World Champion.
Lambert, running for the British squad at the World University Games in Daegu, South Korea, took the Gold medal in the 100-meter dash on Monday night, posting a time of 10.44. Lambert, the fastest qualifier in every round at the WUG, finished ahead of Leigh Julius of South Africa and Dejan Vojnovic of Croatia.
Lambert was particularly pleased after taking the Bronze at the event two years ago. "The time wasnt the quickest but I just wanted the win," he said. "It a great way for me to end the season."
Lambert, who had run 10.33 in the first round and 10.31 in the semifinals, has been focusing more on the 200m this year, and currently leads the British rankings courtesy of his victory at the European Under 23 Championships.
At the NCAA Championships in June, Lambert had the best 200-meter times in both the preliminaries (20.71) and semifinals (20.73) before finishing fourth in the final in a time of 20.64.
