fastest runner
Swiftest on foot
The fastest runner is whoever runs quickest in a given context—a race, a team, a species.
The phrase functions as a superlative designation: She's the fastest runner in the state.
It can refer to absolute speed records (the fastest runner in history) or relative standing (the fastest runner on our relay team).
