The 300 features some of the same top names as the 55, plus some others. The top seed is Bullis' Eric Allen, who currently holds the top 300 mark in the U.S. at 34.13. The junior has been virtually unstoppable this indoor season, as have the rest of his Bullis teammates. He has yet to run on a flat track this indoor season but could still crack 35 at the Sportsplex on Thursday.
Moten will be back in the 300; he currently sits at #6 in the United States. He set his personal best of 34.57 at the Bishop Loughlin Games behind Allen and will get a chance at a rematch at Saturday's meet. Largo's Tsarte Martin brings another sub-36 performance to the meet on Saturday; he finished third in the 400 at the PG Holiday Invitational and will look to jump back into the 300 rankings at the SMAC Classic.
Springbrook's Mayen McClain has yet to run on the big stage this indoor season, but the senior finished second in the 300 at last year's 4A State Championships. With no runner in the classification having gone under 36 seconds in the 300 yet this season McClain could find himself at the top of the 4A rankings by the end of Saturday's meet.
