Six Moments To Watch At The SPIRE Scholastic Showcase

Sprint Phenom Maxwell Willis


The IAAF World Youth Championships silver medalist over 200 meters transferred from Bowie High School in Maryland to Archbishop Carroll in D.C. this year. The move has yielded reward already: Willis ranks US #3 in the 300m (33.51 SB), US #12 in the 55m (6.39) and US #13 in the 400m (48.34).

But it's his team that has experienced the most success so far: the Lions are ranked No. 1 in the nation in the 4x400m, thanks to a 3:18.71 run to win at Virginia Tech.
