State Meet Preview: Class A Boys Individuals

 

No longer will be anyone be sleeping on Iid Sheikh-Yusef of Deering, the senior shocked everyone in winning the WM A regional last weekend. Sheikh-Yusef who ran much of the season in the shadow of his teammate Yahya Hussein emerged in the final mile last weekend at Twin Brook to overtake Jacob Terry of Scarborough in the final 600m of the race. On the season Iid's best time for a 5k is a 16:27 but his recent 16:43.58 effort indicates he's in shape to lower his personal best considerably on Saturday in the conditions hold up.
