Girls 55m Hurdles | |||||
Event Info: 2019 Winner: Indya Richards (Gates-Chili) 7.87, State Record: 7.76, Meet Record: 7.85 | |||||
State of the Action: Only one athlete this year has broken the 8sec flat mark in the hurdles, and she competes as a club athlete. That leaves Nadia Saunders (North Rockland) as one of the few athletes in the field looking at the possibility of a double State Individual Title. She has the fastest time of the year, with an 8.03. The State Meet, despite the numerous rounds, is known to bring out the best times of the Season. The one caveat? Triple Jump rounds will be going on at the same time, where Saunders is also highly ranked. Can she balance both to a Gold Medal? Top Competition comes from Aniyah Walters (Walt Whitman), who just dropped her personal best by a tenth of a second at the Long Island Elite Meet, a big deal when margins can be so thin. | |||||
