Domenic Perretta (Beaver Falls; Penn State University)
Event: Men's 800m
Overview: Perretta ran his way to PA high school track history when he won states titles in the 1600 and 800 meters three straight years in Class AA. Now at Penn State, Perretta is picking up where he left off. He ran an indoor career best of 1:48.09 at the Penn State National Open earlier this winter and then picked the Big Ten title a few weeks ago. He's the 16th seed of 16 entries in the men's 800 meters, so expect the junior and 2016 Beaver Falls graduate to compete for a spot in the finals where anything can happen after that.
