200 Meter Dash Showcase
- State Rankings
- 2022 Winner: Greg McQueen 12 Elizabeth HS 21.82
- Meet Record: Shamali Whittle 10 Nottingham-Hamilton North HS 21.68 2020
- State Record: Mario Heslop 12 Franklin HS 20.90 2019 2023
- 2023 NJ1: Xavier Donaldson 12 Seton Hall Prep 21.53 Eastern States, Mar 1
Xavier Donaldson of Seton Hall Prep, the state leader with a US No. 12 time of 21.53, would be the obvious favorite if he chooses the one-lapper. But Donaldson, who will be running on Seton Hall's 4x400, may opt for the 400 instead.
If Donaldson skips the 200, Pennsauken senior Premier Wynn (21.77) would be the pick to win.
But also watch out for Rajahn Dixon of Eastern Regional (21.92), Alec Stillitano of Middletown South (22.11), Daniel Nixon of Montclair (22.15), and Logan Casey of Bergen Catholic (22.18).
Stillitano is the only returner from last indoor Meet of Champs top ten finishers, where he placed fifth.
