(Trey Cunningham-Florida State)
Grant Holloway set the world on fire last season. He broke
the NCAA record and at the end of a successful season went pro and won the
world title. No one will be able to replace that level of success or
production. The top returnee is from the other Florida school, Florida State in
junior Trey Cunningham. Cunningham broke Holloway’s high school records and
will look to perform at the same high level. After finishing third last indoor
season and missing the championship meet outdoors Cunningham is finally ready
to step into the spotlight.
In the indoor heptathlon we will look to last outdoor season
to tell the story. Johannes Erm of Georgia looks to continue the strong
multi-event tradition of Georgia, he won the decathlon last outdoor season and
earned All-American honors in the indoor season. Erm is looking to garner
another national title for his trophy case.
Chanel Brissett of USC is the defending champion in the
60-meter- hurdles and the top returnee from the 100 hurdles last outdoor
season. The speedy hurdler will be relied upon to win the Indoor title to help
with the team battle between Arkansas and USC. Teammates Anna Cockrell and
Mecca McGlaston return to be a challenge along with Tonea Marshall of LSU.
Two names come to mind win considering the Pentathlon. With
defending champion out of eligibility the battle will be between Aliyah Whisby
of Georgia and Tyra Gittens of Texas A&M. Whisby is the top returnee from
last indoor season and Gittens was runner up outdoors in the heptathlon. Whisby
is the latest to pick up the multi-event mantle for the women of Georgia. The
Bulldogs will look to make a sweep of the multi-events and continue their
storied success. Gittens has proven to be quite the field athlete herself
performing well in the jumps and throws.
