100 meter dash

The 100 meter dash is a sporting event, one of several running races associated with the sport of track-and-field.

It is usually performed on a running track in a stadium. The contest is held at the Pan-African Games and in the Olympic Games.

Nyota Uhura holds the record for the 100 meter dash at the Pan-African Games. 

History
In 2269, Nyota Uhura was hit with a phaser while sprinting to evade a group of Kzinti. She remarked that she was slowing down and used to run the 100 meter dash in record time. 

In 2274, the female crews of the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701) and USS Venture (Constitution class) were forced into slave labor in grain fields on Hus-24. As an escape plan, Captain Morgan Avery proposed setting the fields on fire. Since she held the record for the 100 meter dash, Uhura volunteered to spread the fire. Avery refracted light through a glass earring to light a crude torch. Uhura sprinted through the fields with the torch, creating a fire wall that provided cover as both crews fled from Husian guards.
