Class 1's 800m Runners to Watch in 2019

Eight State Qualifiers are returning the Class 1 Boys 800m, including four State Medalists from 2018.

There is no clear favorite here with last years 2nd through 4th place runners all returning and are separated my meet tenths of a second. Keaton O'dell of Braymer finished 2nd with a 2:02.15, Evan Smith from Chadwick was third with a 2:02.28, and Dillon Seckington was 4th with a 2:02.69. With the returners being that close it'll ensure for a fun race and will be a real battle for the top spot on the podium.
