Dunbar could come out of this meet as one of the meet's biggest stories. This is largely in part due to the recent performance of Darvell Harris(sr). His CPS FAT meet record time of 21.33 in the 200 meter dash is one of the fastest if not the fastest times in the state this year. But Dunbar is much more than Darvell Harris. Brother Trayvon Harris(sr) is almost as fast and sprinter Dion Williams(sr) was the surprise runner up at the CPS meet in the 100 with a blazing time of 10.93. If you really want to see some fun, you could see younger Harris brother Demoria Harris(fr) run an event or two. Demoria took the 100 and 200 at the CPS frosh-soph meet. With so much sprint talent, Dunbar could qualify in both the 4x1 and the 4x2.
North Lawndale will likely focus on the 4x4. They won the CPS meet in the 4x4 with a time of 3:27.54. North Lawndale also has sophomore hurdler Imani Payton and sprinters Deshaun Jordan(jr) and Imani Payton(so). I would run Jordan in one individual event- maybe the 400 and then run him in the 4x4. Payton, when healthy is a dangerous sprinter.
Whitney Young is riding high after a CPS meet victory. However, now comes the state meet. Freshman Joseph Toye(fr) will likley qualify in the triple jump and high jump. Dakari Howard(sr) qualified for state last year in the 400 but did not particualary run well at the city meet in the 400 to finish in 7th. Distance is going to be hard to tell what they are going to do. Logan Means(jr) ran a 1:59.64 at the city meet in the 800. He could qualify in the 800 if they choose to run him in that event. They could also load up a 4x800 team.
Also look out for jumper Cywettnie Brown of Simeon, Morgan Park middle distance runner Stedman Foster (if he runs), and Lincoln Park distance/middle distance runner Robert Rose(sr). Kenwood and Payton have outside chances of qualifying if they load up a relay.
