Not everyone can say that they beat Carl Lewis in the 100-meter dash. And when 12-year-old Aaron Fields used his head start to finish ahead of Lewis on Saturday night, he wasn't winning just another track meet. Fields was one of 35 runners participating in the first Carl Lewis Track Classic, which raised $5,000 for the Willingboro Track Club. For the meet, Lewis returned to his alma mater, Willingboro High School, and took about 15 of his 1988 Olympic teammates. The event, designed to allow budding athletes to "run with an Olympian," was open to "anyone who has a fantasy that they want to do this," said Evelyn Lewis, the meet director and mother of Carl.
