Senior Jerome Begin qualified for nationals in the 110 hurdles. The USATF track nationals are held in Eugene, Oregon. Begin will race June 22-25.
He’s ranked number one in state in the 110 hurdles and number three in the 300 hurdles. In the 110 hurdles he has a best time of 14.27, the national qualifying time is 14.5. Begin’s best 300 time is 38.75 with the national qualifying time of 37.6, which he can still improve on at state.
“Definitely nervous about it, but not many kids get the opportunity to run at nationals,” said Begin. “It’ll be fun running with the best in the U.S.”
In state he is also competing in the 4×400 which is ranked 3rd in state, and ranked very well in the 200 with a 22.38. He will be going to Oregon with his dad and track hurdle coach Boyd Emmel.
