2019 Class A Boys Pre-Season Sprint and Hurdles Preview


100m-

2018 State Champion: Easton Bianchi (Sterling [Newman Central Catholic]) 10.60

Key returners: Charly Tshibuabua (Jr., Rushville-Industry), Dalton Burk (Sr., Fisher), Marshall Walk (Jr., Spring Valley [Hall]), Brady Webb (Sr., Forreston), Charles Stamps Jr (Sr., Melrose Park [Walther Christian]), Tate Walcott (Sr., Colfax [Ridgeview]), Connor McBride (Jr., Sterling [Newman Central Catholic]), Colton Polhemus (Sr., Tremont), Steven Brust (Sr., Spring Valley [Hall])

Breakdown: 2018 was a fabulous year in which seven speedsters ran under 11.00. Easton Biachi's 10.60 led the way in the #7 position. Hopefully, it will lead to the way to some new blood like Charly Tshibuabua.  Tshibuabua finished 5th place at state with a time of 11.17 but has a personal best of 10.93. No one else who is returning has not gone under the watershed mark. Do not count out Dalton Burk or Marshall Walk who both have what it takes to put up some fast times this spring. Walk was an all-stater in the 100m last year taking 8th place. Charlie Stamps will be on the prowl after a disqualification halted things in last year's final.
