Meet Schedule & Live Results

Every event is noteworthy, but here are a few that you should keep an eye on.

Boys 400m

Of course, we'll start at the top of the list. Scheduled to run in the 400m is junior Quincy Wilson of Bullis. This will be Wilson's outdoor opener, coming off of his spectacular indoor season. The gold medal Olympian in the 4x400m Relay at the Paris Olympics ran an indoor PR of 45.66 at the New Balance Indoor Grand Prix in February, improving his high school national record and his under-18 world best. Last summer, prior to the Olympics, he ran a 44.20 under-18 world best outdoors at the PUMA American Track League's Holloway Pro Classic. He won last year's 400m at the Florida relays in a 45.19.

Wilson will have some company in the 400m. Joining him will be some of Florida's top 400m runners. Tywan Cox of Miami Northwestern and Jean-Pierre Giovani of Centennial, the Florida #1 and 2 ranked 400m runners, are scheduled to run, along with Jozef Miesak of Windermere. Cox has run 46.52 this outdoor season; Giovani has run 47.11, and Miesak 47.85.

Girls 100mH

Watch for seniors Aleesa Samuel of Flanagan and Alexia Reid of Dillard to go head to head. The girls are currently ranked US #5 and #7 respectively, with times of 13.43 and 13.58. Also, keep an eye out for Florida #4, senior Kahalia Hoo of Miami Northwestern and junior Sydney Harris of IMG to challenge Samuel and Reid. These are the other two girls in the state that have run sub-14.00. Anything can happen in the hurdles, and this should be a good race.

Boys 110mH

This one should be a good one and close. It's a race among the top hurdlers in the state to see who can claim the bragging rights in a head-to-head competition. Florida numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 8 are all scheduled to run, led by senior Jabari Armstrong of Sickles. Senior Kahiem Carby of Plant City joins Armstrong as the only two who have gone under 14:00 this season with senior Presten Augustin of Dwyer running a 14.00.

always the fastest wins, but the team that executes it exchanges the best. And of course, speed is always essential.

You can also add Alyson Johnson of Creekside, who has only run a limited amount this outdoor season, but who held the number one ranking last year with a 4:46.24 and is the defending 4A state champion. It should be a great race with six girls who have run sub-5:00 this season.

Boys 1600m

Seven of the top 15 boys in the state are set to run in the 1600. All seven have run sub 4:20 this season. It should be an interesting race with all seven boys separated by just 3.89 seconds. It may come down to the last 100. If it's a strategic race and the pace is slow,, Joshua Gammage of Dillard has 1:54 speed. If it's fast, it will be interesting to see who presses the pace and who goes with them from 600m out. It an experienced field, so it should be a fun one to watch.
