Boys Preview

The boy's 4A Championship looks like it will be a battle between Severna Park and Bowie. Severna Park has a slight lead in the projected results scoring 65, 2 points ahead of Bowies 63. Both teams have different strengths so it will likely come down to who executes best on race day!

Severna Park is led by strong distance runners. Liam Hagerty is the top seed in the 3200 and will be joined by Sean Sullivan and Christopher Nunn. All 3 have the potential to score within the top 5. They also have a strong 4x800 team and while they are seeded 3rd, they have the ability to win that race. They will also lean in standout jumper Kian Williams, who has jumped 45-8.5 in the triple jump, which is second in 4A, and 6-04 in the High jump, which is tied for first.

Bowie will try to win the state meet by racking up points in the long sprint events, hurdles, and sprint relays. Levi Newman and Wesley Todd have run 48.5 and 48.6 in the 400m dash and are ranked 2nd and 3rd respectively. J'Marcus Hines will be the second seed in the 110 Hurdles at 13.98 and the 3rd seed in the 300m Hurdles at 38.71. Those three will likely team up in the 4x200 and 4x400 relays, which are both ranked top in the state. They will also get some help in the throwing events with Jaylin Ivey who is ranked 2nd in the Shot and 7th in the Disc.
