Markalah Hart set the national freshman class (and age 14) record of 40.28 in the 300 meter hurdles in 2017. Masai Russell is the top returning 400 hurdler, placing second at the 2017 USATF Junior Nationals and third at the Pan-Am Junior championships. She helped her Bullis (Potomac, Md.) team sweep all three sprint relays (4 x 100, 4 x 200, and 4 x 400) at this year’s Arcadia Invitational, while also winning the individual 300 hurdles with an early season 2018 national best of 41.28.
