The New Kids In The Blocks: The fast heat of the 3A 300 dash is mostly comprised of track veterans - upperclassmen with many years of track experience. And then there's sophomore Nathan Phillips, whose quick rise has helped the Blake sprinters become one of the better groups in the state. He's been steadily dropping his 300 time this season, and set another personal best in his victorious performance at the 3A West Regional Championships. His 35.38 mark leads now leads all 3A boys this season and is a five second improvement from his personal best last indoor season. He's also a contender in the 55 dash and a leg on Blake's 4x200 that was victorious at the 3A West Regional Championships.
