EUGENE, Ore. _ Moments after the gun sounded to start the men's 200 meters, another shot rang out.
This one might as well have been aimed at the hearts of the TCU Horned Frogs.
The second shot signaled a false start against Kim Collins, TCU's No. 1 sprinter. And with it, TCU's hopes for its first NCAA team track and field championship, which had seemed so certain moments before, had all but vanished.
Tennessee's Justin Gatlin took care of the rest. The freshman took advantage of Collins' absence with a dominating performance Saturday at Hayward Field, winning in a sizzling 20.11 seconds and leading a 1-6 Volunteer finish that erased the Horned Frogs' lead and put the Vols in control of the team race at the NCAA Outdoor Championships.
