The two top seeds will be the two favorites headed into the 200 at states this weekend. Terrance Laird of Coatesville ran a PA#1 of 21.30 in the prelims at District 1, but Downigntown West's Joshua McLemore got the best of him in the finals. We'll see who has the upperhand this time around.

Glen Mills' Keon Rantin ran a fast 21.58 in those D1 prelims and he can't be overlooked in this field. West Mifflin's Micah Watts, the District 7 champ, should make a run at the front as well.

Central Dauphin East's Aaron Arp, Truman's Sayyid Saunders, Downingtown West's Nate Alleyne, LaSalle's Winston Eubanks, and Nazareth's Jahan Dotson will be among the others who will contend for high finishes.
