Isaiah Lucas won the bronze medal at the 2015 IAAF World Youth Championships in the 110m hurdles, but an injury and poor weather conditions caused him to miss the Texas State Championships. Brooks PR is his shot to shine on the big stage in 2016! Watch the video above to learn more about his story.
Boys Sprints & Hurdles
100m
Who: Jace Comick, Brandon Taylor, Daniel Estrada
When: 3:15 p.m. PT
Why: Comick is one of the most-improved athletes in the entire nation. A year ago, he owned a PR of 11.04 for 100m. As a senior in 2016, the Texas A&M recruit became the Texas Class 6A state champion for 100m with a FAT, wind-legal PR of 10.42 (+1.5). He also took second to Jamaican champion Shivnarine Smalling at Great Southwest with an absurd time of 10.09 (+3.0), which ranks No. 1 this year among all-conditions marks. He'll have a rematch on his hands here vs. Taylor, who also competes in Class 6A and ran all-conditions U.S. No. 8 10.26 this year. Estrada owns the best wind-legal season-best in the field with his 10.4 (+1.4).
110m Hurdles
When: 2:30 p.m. PT
Why: A loaded field includes four of the top six ranked hurdlers in the nation: No. 1 Krah (13.32, +1.1), No. 4 Moore (13.45, +1.8), No. 5 Joseph Anderson (13.59, +1.2) and No. 6 Rainey Anderson (13.68, +1.9). Lucas is the X-factor. The IAAF World Youth medalist for the high hurdles has not competed since April because his area meet was canceled due to poor weather conditions in Texas. His wind-legal best of 13.78 (+1.6) would put him in contention for the title.
400m
When: 2:10 p.m. PT
Why: All six entrants have raced under 47 seconds this spring and are ranked within the top 20 nationally. New Balance Nationals Indoor champion Reed headlines the list--he ranks U.S. No. 4 this year at 46.11, and is coming off a win at the Pre Classic. The LSU commit ran under 46 seconds twice last year: he set his PR at 45.75 to win the Texas state title and placed third at the IAAF World Youth Championships in 45.96. Godwin also ranks within the U.S. top 10 this spring at No. 7 with his season-best 46.25.
