We are counting down the days until outdoor track kicks off on April 26! We will take the days remaining and turn it into a fun outdoor track and field statistic. With 25 days to go, today's magic number is 25!
We look back to our last outdoor season, 2019, and see how many girls went under 25.00 in the 200m. Now-junior Kayla Davis lead 32 girls under the barrier in 2019. With just under a third of those athletes returning in 2021, how many girls will dip under that barrier. In fact, four girls who return in 2021 ran between 25.00-25.10 during 2019, so they are right on the edge of breaking through! (Note: these are only times from the 2019 outdoor track season.)
Prediction: 41 girls go under 25.00 during the 2021 outdoor track season
