Leading collegiate men’s sprinter Micah Williams of Oregon will look to build on his season-opening time of 6.54 seconds at the 2023 Cougar Classic Invitational on Jan. 13, when he takes on a field that includes several runners –who on their day could run away with this title.
Williams is expected to be seriously challenged by Favour Ashe of Auburn who comes in with a season-best time of 6.57secs, along with Don’dre Swint of Texas Tech who enters this clash with a campaign-best time of 6.60secs.
Dynamic sprinter, Matthew Boling of Georgia is also on the start list for this race. Boling has a personal best of 6.56secs, but this will be his debut appearance in the 60m after opening his season with outings in the 300m and 400m in recent weeks.
Boling will take on Ashe in the same heat with David Dunlap of Northern Arizona in the same heat as Micah Williams and Grambling’s Dante Brown.
