Boys 60m Hurdles Preview
Jake Rose of Southern Columbia will look to win his first indoor state title on Sunday in the 60m hurdles. Rose had a big junior year outdoors, winning state title in the 110m and 300m hurdles. This year, he ran a best of 7.95 at the VA Showcase and hasn't lost since then.
He's the lone sub-8 boy in this field and the big favorite on Sunday. The Penn recruit has been the class of the hurdles this season in PA and will look to take the win and improve on his US No. 15 time.
Harrisburg's Demaris Waters enters at PA#2 with a best of 8.13 this season. He, too, has been consistent this season and should be in a good spot to run well at Penn State.
After that, there are a number of boys with seed times right around 8.3. Archbishop Ryan's Brad Cantoral won the TFCAofGP Meet of Champs this past week in 8.36 and ran a season best of 8.29 to win the PCL title. He's running his best at the right time heading into the weekend. Chambersburg's Darion Baumgartner, Penncrest's Daniel Munro, Harry S. Truman's Anthony Collins, and Northeastern's Mike Alicea all have season bests right in that neighborhood.
Rose is the big favorite and the race for medals after that looks to be wide open.
