300H-

2018 State Champion: Steven Migut (Tolono Unity) 38.20

Key Athletes: Steven Harris (Jr., Cahokia), Lanard Harris (So., Cahokia), Connor Wagner (Sr., Burlington Central), Jaden Johnson (Sr., Freeport), Noah Williams (Sr., Freeburg), Andrew Johnson (Sr., East St. Louis), Stuart Adkinson (Sr., Marion), Finnigan Schirmer (Jr., Marengo), Brody Rutherford (Jr., Mt. Vernon), Brayden Forrest (Sr., Dixon), Pawel Janezcek (Sr., Ridgewood)

Breakdown: This event has many competitors that are close when it comes to time, there seems to be no clear favorite making the event wide open. Jaden Johnson is the top returner from the state meet last year in terms of placement as he took 5th place (40.30) closely followed by Stuart Adkinson (40.31). Steven Harris owns the top returning regular season time (39.60) ahead of teammate Lanard Harris and Connor Wagner (39.64). Don't forget about all-stater Noah Williams who looks to hurdle his way atop the podium. Anyone can win this race making one of the top races to follow this year.
