As Sean Holston prepares this weekend for the Northern Region Meet, which will be prep meet to test to see how he can handle the sprint triple of the 55, 500, and 300 meter dashes for the AAA State Indoor Meet, lets compare Holston's times to the last individual to sweep the sprint events at the AAA State Meet in Lashawn Merritt. Holston has two superior times to Merritt indoors from high school, while Merritt has faster prep times outdoors in the 100, 200, and 400 meter dashes, but Holston still has an outdoor season to go to chase Merritt's times.
