Oakland Mills has done nothing this season to be removed from the #1 spot. They continue to dominate every meet they attend. They just set a Howard County meet record for most points scored and will be the heavy favorite for the 2A West region and 2A State championship. Trevin McHargh, Ethan Aidam, and Abdur Hassan each dominate in the sprints, distance, and field respectively.

If any team can give OM a run for the top spot it's the Cardinals. They just dominated the MIAA championships, getting revenge over MSJ for upsetting them indoors. Cameron Davis is running at his best as he just ran 4:16 and 9:22. His distance teammate Rei Rahsaan Nettey will be right with him in all distance races. Ricardo Cooper is one of the top sprinters in the state and has run 10.6 for 100m. Chase Dorsey is also one of the best throwers in the state as he has thrown 53-5 in the Shot.

The Stags have a ton of depth in the sprints, relays, and field events. Anthony Waterman is one of the top Hurdles in the state and he is the only athlete to go under 38 seconds in the state this season for the 300m Hurdles. They’re 4x400 qualified for the Championship of America race at Penn's running 3:16. Caleb Barley has thrown 154-8 in the disc and Ashton McCulrers has the top mark in the Pole Vault this year at 15-01.

Although they just finished 2nd in the Baltimore City Championships, they have top-caliber athletes that should allow them to be competitive at both regionals and states. Justin Devaughn is one of the top Hurdlers and jumpers in the state. Challenger Valentine and Brandon Alston can both run under 50 seconds in the 400, and Shelton Todd has emerged as one of the top sprinters in the 100 and 200-meter dash.

Mykel Morman has shown he is one of the top sprinters in the entire state. He will be the 4A favorite in the 100, 200, and possibly the 400 as he split 47.1 in the 4x400 at the PG Championships. They have a very strong duo in the triple jump in Zaron Wells (45-5), and Joseph Take (45-01)

The MIAA runner-ups have depth on their entire team. Avery Jones has great speed in the 100 and 200, Charlie Butler is one of the top distance runners in the state, and Jared Okechukwu is a great high jumper.

TJ are coming off big wins at both the CMC and Frederick County Championships. James Partlow is one of the stronger distance runners in the state and will be in contention for a state title. Ryan Kengni jumped 6-04 in the high jump. Their strongest event is the Pole Vault as Gilberto Ramos, Luke Freimanis, and Dillen Owusu have all jumped over 12 feet and can qualify for the state championship.

The Falcons just won the Anne Arundel County Championships are will look to defend their state title from last year. They have depth in the distance events with Liam Hagerty and Sean Sullivan but the biggest surprise this season has been newcomer Kian Williams who has Triple Jumped 45-8.5 and 6-04 in the high jump. That just might be the push they needed to take the trophy home in 2 weeks.

Digital Harbor upset Mervo to win the Baltimore City Championships. Alpha Balde has great range from the 100 to the 400. Jaylin Blackwell can contend for a state championship in the triple jump and they have great depth in all of the sprint relays.
