Four medalists also return this year in the Class 5 Boys 800m. State Champion Lazarus Williams (SLUH) is the top returner from a year ago and his winning time of 1:53.29 is the second fastest returning time. 2018 State Champion Martin Strong (Kirkwood) has the fastest returning time with a 1:52.49 which he ran at Festival of Miles. I'd say the race will come down between those two and Joplin's Micah Bruggeman who owns a PR of 1:55.
