Devon Allen, the Arcadia madman - Know the name!

There was a lot of great action over the past weekend and for a lot of us the distance events around the country, especially at Stanford, stole the show. However, the most overlooked performance came from the Arcadia Invitational. It was not the 8:47 by Futsum Z or the 10:08 by sophomore Sarah Baxter, but check out a guy named Devon Allen....a junior hurdler/sprinter from Arizona. Thanks to Kevin Liao for documenting these amazing performances! Allen won 3 individual events and 2 relays, all of which produced marks that ranked top 5 in the United States! Did I mention he's only a junior??

Devon Allen's Saturday Madness (4 events/4 victories in the span of 3 hours and 22 minutes):
(note: Friday night at 6:12pm Allen helped his team win the invite section of the 4x110m shuttle hurdle relay. It was reported via dyestat that Allen fell over the last hurdle and got up to still anchor the team to the victory.)

5:29pm - Boys 4x100 Invite: Allen helps Brophy to a win and US#5 mark of 41.15.


6:16pm - Boys 110H Invite: Allen runs 13.52 for a US#2


7:35pm - Boys 300H Invite: Allen flys out of the blocks en route to a US#2 mark of 36.39


8:51pm - Boys 200m Invite: In an event that some would consider his weakest, Allen came from behind to beat the nation's top 200m man Raymond Bozmans in a US#3 time of 21.10.


Dyestat also reported that there is a 4 event limit for athletes at the Arcadia Invitational which means there is a chance that "his fifth event (the 200) may be vacated from the meet records because of the four-event limit." This seems crazy, give the kid his records. Feel free below to let the meet know Allen should be remember for his performances, not erased!
