Answer:

Curt

Explanation:

A shorter run time indicates a greater speed. Curt's time was shorter than Ian's, so we conclude that Curt ran faster.

Curt because if his time was 8/9 of Ian's time then that means he ran the mile in a fraction of Ian's time, so he finished the mile quicker. Curt ran faster.
