This is going to sound stupid, but I've been looking up the answer and that should settle it, but it goes against everything I've ever known about this sport. I grew up thinking that yards were shorter than meters. One day recently I looked it up so I could convert my meters into yards and I did more yards than actual meters. Looking at a conversion chart right now says a yard is .9144 meters. Yet I foud a time converter online and all yards times are faster. Uhhhh, what am I missing here?
