AA Girls 100m Hurdles Preview
2020 seemed like it was primed to be a big year for Bishop McDevitt's Taleea Buxton. The freshman won the indoor state title in the 60 meter hurdles and was entering the outdoor season as one to watch. But then the coronavirus halted those plans.
Now Buxton is back in her sophomore year. She ran the fastest AA time in the 100 meter hurdles -- a 14.95 -- at a PCL meet, and enters the state meet as the top seed after a 15.13 for the District 12 title. She will look to add outdoor gold to go with her indoor title, but she will be challenged in what should be an interesting race.
District 6 champion Clare Marsh of Saint Joseph's Catholic Academy has been running great this season. She dropped a best of 15.10 to win at Altoona a few weeks ago and went 15.19 to take the D6 title this past week. She's be consistent and the senior will go after the top spot on Friday.
Wilmington junior Lindsey Martineau will also be in the mix. She dropped a big PR of 15.19 -- matching Marsh's district-winning time -- to win the District 10 crown. That will surely make her a factor come Friday, as she looks for a similar performance on the big stage.
Others to keep an eye on in this field are Siena Brazier of Lewisburg Area and Sasha Lee of Saint Basil Academy, the District 4 and District 1 champions, respectively.
