Boys 100m, Saturday 10:35am ET
Some food for thought here. Trentavis Friday's personal best in the 100m was a 10.17, before unleashing a 10.00 at World Juniors. Ryan Clark just went 10.18 in Cuba.

Can anyone catch Clark? Noah Lyles made it close Indoors over 55m, and recently dropped his personal best in Cuba, but still wasn't close to Clark. Tavien Feaster is another name to watch, looking to break into sub-10.4 in the warm conditions. In a race so short, anything can happen.

Boys 200m, Sunday 12:45pm ET
Could we see a role reversal here?

Once again, Noah Lyles and Ryan Clark find themselves far and away the top seeds. Indoors, they had a photo finish to determine the National Champion over 200m, with the nod going to Lyles. Outdoors, they're the only two under 21-seconds (wind lega0 in the field, and will be pushing each other through the paces the whole race. Anton Porter was 4th Indoors, and is entered in the race, and Nick Gray is only .09 above breaking through that 21-second barrier.

Maryland state champion Maxwell Willis pushed Michael O'Hara from Jamaica at Great Southwest with a wind-aided, but fast runner-up time of 20.55. He could make a bigger splash nationally racing against Clark and Lyles.

Boys 400m, Sunday 2:15pm ET
Your top seed is a New Yorker, but it may not be the New Yorker you were thinking of.

With Benjamin doing the hurdles, Izaiah Brown is the boy to beat. He dominated the New York State Meet 400m, powering through the first 300m, before cruising through the line. He pulled from the finals with a minor cramp, saving himself for what could be the race of his life at NBNO. For those who may be unfamiliar with the name, Brown ran the fastest relay split of the past two years at NBNO last year, splitting 45.16 while weaving from Lane 8.

But he isn't the only superstar relay runner in the field. Josephus Lyles split a 45.71 in the early Season at Penn Relays. He also recently hit a new seasons best in Cuba at 46.60. Izaiah Brown outleaned Josephus Lyles at Indoor Nationals in that pile-up of "Wham-Sauce" fame, and will be looking for revenge.

Also look out for fan-favorite Tyreese Cooper, the 8th-grader from Florida, who has hit 47.13.

Boys 800m, Sunday 1:45pm ET
He may be the only man from his team in attendance, but he will looking to make an impact.

John Lewis is the only man in the field under 1:50 this year. Well under 1:50 at that, setting a PA State Record of 1:48.72. He's also known for his 400m Hurdle prowess, as well as the open event, but nowhere is he more clear the favorite than here. But there is a reason Myles Marshall was asked to pace the exclusive Dream Mile through 800m. The man has 1:48.43 speed, and has represented Team USA. Along with his parental pedigree, he could come into the field and drop something huge.

Cannot overlook or forget about indoor national champ Brian Bell (Dunbar OH), he ran down Lewis in the SMR at indoor nationals. Despite being only US #19 ranked with his 1:51.04 season best, Bell has a real shot at being both an outdoor and indoor national champ.

The fastest non-senior in the field is Minnesota state champ Lucas Trapp, who ran US #13 1:50.80 two weekends ago.

Cruising around that 1:50 range is Drake Gauthier of Michigan and Elijah Inuwa of North Carolina. Both are on the low end of 1:50, and in a kickers race, could steal the win. Speaking of which, Sam Ritz is the only man to beat John Lewis over 800m this year, and it could happen again with a National title on the line. Look out for that PA rematch in the field.

Boys Mile, Sunday 2:40pm ET
One week after the Dream Mile, we'll have a strong race of fresh faces.

Virginian, and US #17 Matthew Novak was a notable absence in the Dream Mile, but will have the field to himself in Greensboro. He is the only man under 4:07, and if he runs an honest race, it could make for a decisive win. However, US #18 Ryan Adams is knocking on the door of sub-4:07, and could have the legs to challenge that elusive mark.

In a kicker's race, the door opens for everyone, with speed abound. Dajour Braxton, Bryce Richards, and Sam Ritz all have the wheels to take this one home. This could get interesting.

Boys 2 Mile, Saturday 5:40pm ET
It would seem Ben Veatch would have a healthy, 3-second gap on the field. His 8:56.51 may have gotten aid from the atmosphere at Arcadia, so it will be up to him if he can repeat. Only two guys have broken 9-mins in the field, and Jack Salisbury had the Loucks field to pull him. He'll be looking to push the pace from the get go, knowing how to be competitive in that kind of race. Carter Blunt is right at 9:00, and puts him in contention for the title along with fellow Texan in Alex Rogers (who defeated Blunt for the Texas Relays title). Virginia 6A state champ Alex Corbett was an All-American indoors in the two mile. The slower top end speed of the field puts everyone's name into contention, so this will be a very close race.

Boys 5000m, Friday 9:50pm ET
It's a tough race to predict, as the event see's most of it's prominence in Cross Country. On the surface, it would seem there are a few names to know here. Robert Brandt is making his way from California, and has 4:08 speed under his belt. Eric Van Der Els took 4th Indoors in the event, and could be considered the favorite. Conor Lundy is coming off a great season at the Mile, and the NYS Champ could grab the win here. Zach Brehm is having a similarly great season in the 3200m, and could translate that to the 5000m as well. Of note is that Alex Ostberg is entered. who has previously announced that he would be cutting his season due to injury. With him in the field, he would be the easy favorite.

Boys 110m Hurdles, Saturday 11:45am ET
The 1-2 punch from Indoor Nationals returns for a rematch.

Chad Zallow may have the upper hand. He is currently US #2 in 13.50, undefeated this year. Grant Holloway, who overtook him Indoors, is nowhere near that time, or consistency, sitting at only US #23, with a best of 13.91. But Holloway is a big meet performer, and all in attendance should know that seed means nothing. Can Holloway beat his personal best of 13.61 to take the Outdoor National title, or is this Zallow's to lose?

Chevis Armstead (US #4), Dan Roberts (US #6), and Emmanuel Jackson (US #8) are all so close together, one botched hurdle from the leaders, and the National Title is theirs. Look for this to be a much closer race than Indoors.

Boys 400m Hurdles, Sunday 12:22pm ET
US #1 Rai Benjamin was DQ'ed last year, for allegedly hooking the hurdles. He'll have something to prove coming in as the National Leader, and New York State Record Holder. He mentioned at Prefontaine that despite running the 200m there, he was already in his 400mH training periodization. That was three weeks ago. It's mind-boggling to think how much better Benjamin could be over hurdles in that period. He has stated sub-50 is on his mind, and with his speed, anything is possible.

But the road to a National Title is never easy. After a season of injury, Norman Grimes just launched a US #2 in Cuba, only .35 away from Benjamin's National Leader. Put these two together, and another significant drop for Grimes could yield a Gold Ring.

US #3 Taylor McLaughlin may have arguably the best 400m open speed, despite a fall at Indoor Nationals. Could he come in and shock the field in between the hurdles, in what looks like will be an all out sprint for the finish line?

And what of US #4 Infinite Tucker, the junior who looks to take over the title from Rai Benjamin next year in New York. Could he make his name one season earlier, and shock the field?

This very well could be the race of the weekend.
