Saturday, 4/16: Bullis Bulldog Invitational (@ Bullis School in MD)
***WATCH THE BULLIS BULLDOG INVITE LIVE ON MILESPLIT!***
Some of the premiere PA performers will make the trip down to one of the better meets south of the Mason Dixon Line. That's the Bullis Bulldog Invite.
Look out for a pair of big names in the girls' sprints. Pennsbury's Dasia Pressley will make her season debut in the 100 and 200 meters. Pressley is the outdoor state record holder in the 200 and the Syrcause-signee certainly has big things planned for her senior year. Harrisburg's Ty'Asia Dansbury is entered in the 100, 200 and 400. The last time she attempted this triple, she won all three events (and added a 4x100 win, too).
Norristown has entered a 4x100 team will likely have its eye on Cheltenham's PA#1 of 48.28. Harrisburg is entered, too, in a race that should be crazy fast with Paul Robeson coming down from New York and the host school, Bullis, boasting strong teams.There may only be a few PA girls entered, but they have the potential to make a big impact this weekend.
The boys of PA will bring some top talent, too. Downingtown West will be well-represented at the meet. Joshua McLemore is entered in the 200 and 400 meter hurdles. McLemore is looking for a tune-up before he runs the hurdles at the Penn Relays in a few weeks. Nate Alleyne is entered in both the 200 and 400 meters.
D-Town West will bring jumpers, too. James Holt is entered in the long jump, while reigning indoor state champion Darian Alston will contest the triple jump.
In the distance events, Jaxson Hoey will double in the 800 and 1600 where he'll be the heavy favorite. His brother Josh is not on the performance list. Ryan Barton is the second seed in the 1600 along with Jaxson.
Glen Mills is bringing a team that should make some noise in both the 4x100 and 4x400 relays. Keon Rantin of Glen Mills, who is PA#1 in the 400, will step down to the 200 meters where he's seeded fifth.
