SUNBURY – The clean sweep that alluded Williamsport’s Razzaaq Taylor at the 2007 District 4 Class AAA Championships didn’t in 2008.
The Millionaire junior swept the 100 and 200 dashes and helped the 400 relay team reach the top of the podium as Williamsport flexed its sprinting muscle at Shikellamy High School.
Taylor won the 100 and 400 relay last season, but came up short to teammate Josh King in the 200. This year, Taylor beat teammate Davon Seldon to the finish in both races.
He ran an 11.24 in the 100 and 22.64 in the 200.
“I expected everyone to run the same time as me like we have all season, but I came out working out hard today and came away with a win,” said Taylor.
The victories qualify Taylor for next week’s PIAA Championships at Shippensburg University. He will not run the 200, however, allowing Seldon the opportunity to travel to Shippensburg.
