Khance Meyers and Ayden Owens finished 1-2 in a deep field of 200m runners.
Last weekend's MileSplit Scholastic Showcase at Spire brought together some of the best track and field talent in the United States and Canada and the presence of these athletes led to an incredible amount of elite performances being produced. This premier meet has required several separate summaries to be posted over the past week due to the countless phenomenal displays of athleticism that were demonstrated at the Spire Institute on February 12th.
Here is the final recap:
In 60m Hurdles action, Ann Arbor's Britten Bowen and Canadian, Liam Mather claimed wins at the Showcase. Bowen finished in 8.61 to edge the Spire Academy's Charisma Taylor at the line. Taylor recorded an 8.65 2nd place result and her 8.63 time in the prelims race is a new Ohio #1. Meanwhile, Mather's 8.02 topped Woodridge's Jacob Mally, who registered a time of 8.25.
