Event Preview
Yashahya Brown of Washington Twp is in a league of his own over the barriers.
Brown, the defending champion, set the state record with the US No. 1 time of 7.06 at the South Jersey, Group 4 Championships and is undefeated this season.
Taking nothing away from his competitors, this will most likely be a race against the clock as Brown should shatter the meet record of 7.19 set in 2012 by Jermaine Collier of Trenton, and could flirt with a sub 7.00!!!
That's how good Brown is!!
There are just two other hurdlers in the state that have broken 7.50, Alexander Hollimon of Williamstown (7.36) and Group 2 State Champ Joseph Kurak of Manchester Township (7.40).
