Remontay McClain (born September 21, 1992) is an American sprinter who specializes in the 100 and 200 metres dash. While attending Covina High School, McClain ran the second-fastest 100 metres by a high school athlete in 2010, behind only Oliver Bradwell.
A native of Victorville, California, McClain moved to Covina, California when he was 13. In his junior year at Covina High School, McClain won both the 100 m and 200 m California state championship. He was named a 2010 and 2011 All-USA track and field selection by USA Today. In his senior year, McClain repeated as 100 m and 200 m state champion, by setting Division 3 meet records in both events. He became only the third athlete in the 93 competitions of the CIF State Track and Field Championship meet to win back-to-back titles in the 100 and 200 meters, following Charlie Paddock (1917, 1918) and Randall Carroll (2008, 2009).
Also an American football player, McClain was listed as one of the best wide receivers in Southern California before Covina was knocked out of the CIF playoffs by Whittier Christian High School his senior season. He committed to Azusa Pacific University on November 10, 2010.
In June, McClain finished 9th in 21.89 in 200 meter prelims and 9th in 10.56 in 100 meter prelims at USATF Junior Outdoor Championships hosted at Drake Stadium in Des Moines, Iowa.
