2017 New Balance Indoor Nationals Boys' Events Preview

State of the Action: New York's Daniel Claxton comes in ranked US#2 with a 7-0 clearance this season, returning from a sixth place 6-09 finish in 2016 he's already set to out perform that jump. There are plenty of jumpers just below him that are on the verge of clearing seven feet as well such as Kyle Garland of Pennsylvania US#3 at 6-10.75 and Alabama's JuVaughn Blake US#4 at 6-10.25. Can't count out returners from the top four at last year's championship either, Rahman Minor was third and Qayyim Ali fourth both at 6-09.
