It's also probably safe to assume Trenton and Tyson are related. Givens, however, also had two more sub-15 marks from that summer (also NWI), so it's probably safe to assume he's capable of sub-15 with or without wind aid. There's not a wind reading recorded with that mark, so I'm guessing it's officially an NWI mark. The name that figures most prominently from those results is Trenton Givens, also of Valley Vista. In fact, there was no remaining margin with that particular mark.ĭeeper into the 15s, we start seeing a lot of marks from athletes who figure to be back this year.īut, there are also some 2020 data the deal with-marks from the truncated spring season and from the Desert Dream-Last Hurrah meet in June. And, we'll note that Givens' mark was only wind-legal by the narrowest of margins. Next up on that list is a 15.01 from Tyson Givens of Valley Vista. In fact, his wind-legal 14.77 from 2019 is easily the fastest mark from that year of athletes who will return this year. We already mentioned him in the sprint article, but he figures as a top 110 hurdler as well. THE STATE OF ARIZONA: THROWS | SPRINTS | HURDLESĪmong those we won't miss, however, is CJ Scrivner of Safford. It goes without saying we're going to miss a few along the way. That means going back to when this year's seniors in high school were sophomores, and when this year's juniors were freshmen. And, that's important to this discussion because we're trying to project the top high school hurdlers in Arizona this spring based on data that is almost entirely at least 22 months old. Most athletes don't attain that large number of reps in their first two years of high school. Not only do hurdles require a certain level of physical maturity for efficiency, but they also require a large number of reps. It is even more rare to see that in the hurdle events. I remarked in an earlier article in this series that we don't often see freshman and sophomore boys taking places at or near the top of the sprint pile.
