Emmi Scales (Sr., Arlington Heights (St. Viator) [IL])
EVENTS: 60m, 60H
Illinois' own Scales makes it three athletes at 8.50 or under for the 60 hurdles, but she will try to show her Missouri and Michigan counterparts that she belongs up with them at the highest elite levels. Scales ran an 8.56 in the hurdles solo last weekend and might be ready to come on strong with runners finally to chase. She is also in the 60m, tied for the seventh fastest seed with a 7.62 best.
