Dunbar's Mario Paul smokes the 300m hurdles state record by over a second. He threw down one of the ten best times in the country today.

Yeah, he is amazing hurdler!

What went wrong for Armon Tucker in the boys 100m? He went from a season best and Trinity record 10.69 to 12.24 today.

He’s been injured this season so maybe aggravated it during run.

It's gotta be tough to end your season like that when you know you're capable of so much more. A healthy Tucker is certainly a favorite in this event next year.

• Wyatt Stewart (Madison Central '23) set the all-class Kentucky record* with a 16'-1" effort in the Pole Vault. Congrats Wyatt!

Stewart passed on seven heights before starting his day at 14'-6". He cleared the new record height on his first attempt. Stewart then took aim at breaking his PR, but missed all three attempts at 16'-8.75".

The Madison Central sophomore is currently the US No. 2 ranked vaulter in the 2023 class. His 16'-7" effort earlier this spring ranks No.14 in the nation.

* [Chip Heuser's (St. Xavier) all-class record of 16'-0" had stood since 2003.]

The oldest Class AAA records on the books date back to 1985. Both are also Kentucky all-class records. 

Long Jump - 24'-0.5" William White, Shelby Co.

4x400m Relay - 3:16.78 Eastern (Victor Shacklette, Chris Taylor, Troy Dickey, Joey Taylor)

Great young man! He was at most of the meets we hosted and I’m glad to see him get a PR at state. Good luck to him at UCF!
