What's the fastest way for a creature to move across land?

I've recently read an article (Source: https://www.livescience.com/22146-why-don-t-any-animals-have-wheels.html) explaining why animals don't have wheels for locomotion, and that legs are common because they can evolve gradually over time, whereas a species cannot gradually evolve a wheel.

I'm wandering how viable it is, by instantly modifying genes (or a similar approach), to give an animal body parts that allow it to move far faster than legs, since wheels are not viable.

I would like the body part to be passed on through natural reproduction, so some form of technological-biological hybrid wheel, for example, would not work.

It terms of the amount of time this speed is retained for, a small burst of a cheetah's is acceptable, but not preferable. I would like the creature to be able to reach high speeds for at least 60 seconds.
