Breakdown: The first time that Charly Tshibuabua ran the 400m was at Rushville-Industry Sectional, winning with a time of 50.70. In just a handful of races, Tshibuabua dropped his personal best to 49.17 which enabled him to win his first state title. Tshibuabua is originally from the Republic of Congo in which means his English is his second language. Be as it may, Tshibuabua has used his feet to speak for his success. He should once again be challenged by state runner up Makail Stanley. Returning with Tshibuabua and Stanley are Greg Downs, Keegan Anderson, and Max Sager who were all-staters.
