NBNI Boys- Who from Ohio Can Win?

Mark Stonecipher

BOYS 60M


Stiver's Sr. Tyler Johnson and JFK Warren Jr. Jacob Coates virtually tied in the 60 at the OATCCC D2/3 Indoor State Championship with 6.78's.  Johnson got the win.  They are both tied US #4 heading into NBNI. (photo Chris Greene)

Anything can happen in the 60m.  It's all about getting out fast and accelerating through the finish.  Tyler Johnson and Jacob Coates are both experienced and if they hit their starts, are capable of winning and getting on the podium.  Johnson will have to get out faster than he did at State, as he won closing at the finish.  He won't have time at NBNI to do that.  Coates will need a fast start and to maintain his acceleration.  Only two are faster this indoor season in the 60, and that is by .09 seconds.
