5. Marcus Krah, Amere Lattin first U.S. duo to sweep 110m hurdles
Marcus Krah has run undefeated this season, and the UNC Chapel Hill-bound star did not let his streak end in Poland. He won his prelim and semifinal rounds handily, and carried that dominance to the final where he set a new PB and world U20-leading time of 13.25.
Not as sure of a bet to medal was his American teammate Amere Lattin, who nonetheless advanced through the rounds--both of which were marred by false starts from other competitors. While the 2016 U20 Championships marks Krah's first international competition, Lattin was looking for redemption from his last Team USA run that saw him suffer an injury and fail to advance through the rounds at the World Youth Olympics in 2014.
But he fired on all cylinders on Thursday by setting a new PB of 13.30 to capture a much-deserved silver behind Krah's gold. They are the second duo from one country to ever sweep this event.
