2013-14 Indoor Track Event Previews: 200m
Class A
Only 2 scorers from 2013 are back in the 200m dash with Lewiston's Hassan Mohamed leading the way, Mohamed was the state runner-up last year as he clocked a personal best 23.15 out of the slower section to almost steal the state title. Mohamed repeated the feat outdoors claiming 2nd on the podium. There is only one more step up for Hassan, and that is to the top of the podium
He'll be challenged though, look for last year's 7th place finisher Jake Dixon of Cheverus to be a title contender. Dixon ran 23.47 in the state meet last season. Outdoors Dixon moved up one spot to 6th in the state meet.
Biddeford's James Ociti is one to watch in the 200m, Ociti has the 4th fastest returning time of 23.54. He placed 5th in the outdoor meet.
