The defending champ is this event is focusing on other events at states this year. That's Cheltenham's Chanel Brissett, but there's plenty of talent still left in the field. At the top is Pennsbury's Dasia Pressley, who fired off a perfect race for the win at the District 1 Championships with a PA#1 of 11.75. But Pennridge's Kouri Peace, who took second to Pressley at that meet with an 11.98 could close that gap this time around.

Liberty's Jaylyn Aminu was third a year ago and should definitely be a factor in this field. District 7 rivals Emily Horstman of Butler and Ashley Amato of Plum will contend as well. Cedar Cliff's Grace Gillespie has had a great season that she capped off with a District 3 win against a good field. The eight medals seem to be up for grabs for whoever has the best day on Saturday.
