Pennsylvania brings two great athletes to the table in what should be a very competitive boys' 400 meter hurdles on Saturday morning. US#3 Josh McLemore of Downingtown West and US#5 Miles Green of St. Joseph's Prep are in the field. Green was a later entry, but certainly deserving after a great start to his season. McLemore crushed the field at the Bullis Invite in Maryland.

Leading the charge in this race will be two Jamaican athletes who are the top returners from a year ago. Orlando Smith and Timor Barrett. Infinite Tucker from New York should be a factor as well.

McLemore and Green both have shots to mix it up with these favorites, and, like Brookylnn Broadwater did a year ago on the girls' side, score an upset victory.
