Oklahoma Boys Top 25 Returners For 2025 Outdoor: Sprints

Oklahoma Boys Top 25 Returners For 2025 Outdoor: Sprints/Hurdles

This year's sprinting field is strong. Following a quick indoor season we are set to begin outdoor track very soon. The season kicks off at Holland Hall on March 1st. Oklahoma sprints have been good for a long time, and this season will surely be no different. 

Last outdoor saw historic marks set all across the board. Here are the top returners coming into the 2025 outdoor track season for the sprint and hurdle events. 

The 100m dash is led by Gage Spencer out of Bristow. Spencer had a great outdoor season last year, however with Kyler Brown having the historic indoor season that he has had, it won't be easy to finish as the fastest mark in the state this season for Spencer. Kayleb Barnett is another strong candidate to run the fastest in the state this year.

The 200m sees Kyler Brown as the lead coming into this season. It will be interesting to see how often Brown gets to compete against Jarek Watie and Ashton Cunningham from Tulsa Union. All three are in the Tulsa area but Booker T. Washington is a 5A program while Tulsa Union is 6A. If all three get in the same race it could be historic. 

200 Meter Dash

The 400 meter dash was stacked last season and will likely be stacked this season. The 400m state record is still a bit of a ways away, but it is not out of reach. If Trystan Haynes can get in a race where he is pushed - then a historic mark could go down for either him or Watie and Gaines. Brody Pitt out of Broken Arrow had a strong indoor season and will be an athlete to watch out for this outdoor season as well.

The 110 sees a familiar face as the fastest returner, Sukyiahre Rucker. His season last year was solid, and with a lot of graduates, he is the favorite coming into the season. I see this event being pretty wide open though this season. 

110 Meter Hurdles

Caleb Goodman out of Charles Page High School in Sand Springs is the leading returner in this event. There are six athletes that have broken 40 seconds returning this season. This event should be one to watch as it will likely be pretty wide open as it stands right now.
