17-18 400m
Who: Isaiah Cole, Nicholas Walker, Jermaine Holt
When: Saturday, June 25, rolling schedule starting at 7:30 am CT
Why: This will likely be the most exciting race of the day. The top three seeds each have personal-bests of sub-48. Cole is the top seed with a time of 47.21, and he's also entered in the 200m. He will be the favorite, but will be challenged for top honors by Walker (PB: 47.70) and Holt (PB: 47.80), who should make it an exciting finish.
