State of the Action:  If you're going to peak, States is the place to do it.  Not only does Chris Belcher take home the state title, he also walks away with the new NY #1, US #9 mark this season.  All smiles, indeed.

State of the Action:   Shame on us for counting out Izaiah Brown.  The freshmen who went 48 in the 400 last year outdoors, comes back as a sophomore to nab the state title.  Never count out the 16th seed.
