The Top 5 Girls To Watch At The Akinosun Elite Invitational


2. Leeah Burr (Jr., Detroit Renaissance MI)

Events: 200m, 400m

Overview: A teammate of the outstanding Kaila Jackson, Burr is ready to shine on her own merits as she is rated among the top 25 individuals in the MileSplit Power Rankings.

Burr has three standout marks on her resume but up first is the US#15 200m time of 24.44 produced at the Spire Ohio Championship Preview Meet.

The 400m is where she sits in the US#8 position with a solid time of 55.61 from an oversized oval. Still, she is a heavy favorite but nothing is guaranteed when you have a field of solid pursuers wanting to knock you off the pedestal.
