Armon Howard ♦ Rochester Adams
Track & Field ♦ Senior

Howard won the 110-meter and 300-meter hurdles and ran on champion 800 and 1,600-meter relays at the 63^rd Oakland County Championships on May 27 at Clarkston. His 37.30-second time in the 300 was the fastest in that race in the state this season and tied for ninth-fastest 300 in state history according to MichTrack.org.

Howard’s best time in the 110 hurdles this season was 14.37 seconds heading into Saturday’s Lower Peninsula Division 1 Finals, and it ranked third across all divisions this spring. He also entered this weekend undefeated in the 110 this season and with only one second place in the 300, coming in Adams’ first meet. His Oakland County-winning relays also included his twin brother Amarion, and the times – 1:28.96 in the 800 and 3:22.03 in the 1,600 – were the fastest Armon Howard had been part of this spring. (UPDATE: Armon Howard won the 300 hurdles [37.32] and was third in the 110 [14.66] at the June 4 LPD1 Finals.)
