The 400m Runners to Watch in Class 5 in 2020

With the fastest two 400m runner in State History returning, its safe to say the Class 5 400m will be a good one. Justin Robinson (Hazelwood West) is the back to back defending State Champ, and owns the second fastest time in the United States by a high schooler ever with a time 44.84 that he ran at the Great Southwest Classic. He's also the reigning U20 National Champion, and U-20 Pan-American Champion in the 400m as well. Along with Robinson, Chris DuPree (Park Hill South) returns with the 10th fastest time in the United States last year with a 46.57, and will look to go even faster this season before heading to Baylor next season. Below you can find my subjective top 5 list for the Class 5 Girls Overall, and the top 5 for each returning grade.
