Dozen Girls To Watch At 2018 MPSSAA State Championships

Dejah Grant (CH Flowers)

One of the top 300 and 400 meter hurdlers in the state, Dejah Grant of CH Flowers will come in as the favorite for the 4A girls race in the 300 hurdles. A 4th place finisher in last year's 4A girls 300 meter hurdles, Grant is coming off her two best races of the season in the event including 44.58 personal best clocking to win the Prince George's County title.

Grant was also a 4A South Regional champion in the high jump and won a state title in the event a freshmen back in 2016. She was also a regional runner-up in the 100 meter hurdles, while appears to be lessening her workload from past state meets when she also qualified and competed in the 400 and 800 along with the 300 meter hurdles in a short time window.
