Outlook: There are nearly 30 subs 11:00 speedsters returning, making this one of the deepest fields on the record. Tyler Colwell returns as the speedster to watch after running 10.48w last spring. Colwell has a lightning-fast which has enabled him to succeed in this high-stakes event. Unfortunately, was disqualified for jumping the gun in his state championship round last.
Reece Young had a strong post-season last year and it is the top returner based on his 3A fifth-place finish. Will Stewart and Jonathan Mayhand were all-staters behind Reece.
Only two guys from 2A return in Christian Keyhea (Sr., Mahomet-Seymour). He took runner-up honors in 10.91. Sophomore Kenneth Buchanon of E. St. Louis Senior surprised the final entries when he copped sixth place.
