CIAC Open Championship Preview: Event-by-Event Blowout

Boys 55m



Meet Record: 6.23  State Record: 6.23  Last Year's Winner: Christopher Pigatt (Hamden) 6.51

Five sprinters are seeded below 6.50 from the Class meets, and seven have blazed in that zone during the season. S champ Keith Berrouet has the top seed and also has the best season's time at 6.40, and LL champ Korey Morton has the second seed at a season's best 6.42. Among LL and S finalists lined up just behind the top duo are three guys from last year's finals including reigning champ Christopher Pigatt, bronze medalist Michael Rodia, and 6th place finisher Kymali Hay. LL runner-up Baijeon Boookal will also be doing his best to make sure the path to the finals line is a tough one.

Record Hunt: The winner will have to kick into another gear to catch Sheldon Simpson's marks from twenty years ago..
