Buffington set to run at New Balance nationals

Mar. 10—Catoctin High senior Brody Buffington is set to test his speed once again against some of the fastest in the country Saturday at the New Balance Nationals Indoor in Boston.

Buffington, 17, will run in the 60-meter dash prelims shortly after 10 a.m. Saturday and then run in the 200 dash prelims around 2 p.m.

He was also entered in the long jump, an event he has one of the top marks in the nation in. But his coach, Dave Lillard, said he would not compete in the long jump because it would compress his schedule of events too much.
