Ryan Kent has the vibe of an athlete who likes the fight — aggressive intent and a willingness to lean into discomfort. At Regionals, that’s valuable, but only if it’s paired with discipline.

Washington DC watch: If Ryan stays patient in the first half, his second half can be dangerous — the type who makes big gains when others start bargaining with the pace.
