2017 New Balance Indoor Nationals Boys' Events Preview

State of the Action: We finally reach the premiere event for Tyrese Cooper with the 400 meter championships, he will also be competing in the 55 and 200 meter dash. Cooper is US#2 all-time in the event clocked at 46.01, just .09 off the national record of 45.92 held by Elzie Coleman since 2004. Cooper has already set the 300 meter indoor record at 32.87 and he'll have a loaded field there to push him for yet another national standard. US#2 Brian Herron of Georgia coming in at 47.13 and the top returner from last year's final Chantz Sawyers currently US#3 at 47.16 will be up to the challenge competing for the title.
