Brooks PR is certain to offer some electrifying races next week in Seattle, Washington.
The annual high school national invitational has elite-level high school races lined up for action at Renton Memorial Stadium, with sprint double potential between Mead's Tavon Underwood and Sehome's Jacob Andrews, sub-4 potential from a crew of talented boys and arguably the most talented 100m girls race we've ever seen.
There is no doubt here. The single-best matchup to watch next week will be Shawnti Jackson, the newly-crowned national record-holder in the 100m, against Lake Oswego's Mia Brahe-Pedersen, who has run 11-flat this year.
This will be Jackson's and Pedersen's first matchup of 2023.
From there, athletes to watch include Akala Garrett in the 100mH and Andre Korbmacher in the 110mH, Gretchen Farley and Alex Leath in the 800m, Karrie Baloga and Kole Mathison in the mile and Sadie Engelhardt and Simeon Birnbaum in the 2-mile.
