Alan Webb victoriously returned to the NYC's famous New Balance Armory Center six years to the date, when he became the first American HS student to break the four minute barrier indoors. Closely following the rabbits, thru splits of 58.7/1.58.7, before taking the lead with Eliud Ngubi at1000 meters.

Looking extremely relaxed and strong he breezed thru the 1200 in 2.58.7 and closed off with a stong 200m in 28 flat. Alan glaced at the clock as he came across the tape as he was a time in the 3.56.70 PR Alan spoke at length about the race saying "The race went out alittle slow, but it was even which set up well for a strong finish"

Alan choose the New Balance Armory Center to run his indoor PR, noting it was the same event six years ago when becoming Americas most famous miler since Jim Ryan,"It's fun to run in this facility because everyone knows my history and I feel very welcome here" Webb is expected to run in all 3 of USATF's indoor events

On the womans mile side, Mary Cullen(IRE) was a revelation in a rare mile appearance showing alot of strength. The womans event was a large pack led by Carmen Douma-Hussar(CAN) followed by Sara Hall(USA), Hillary Stellingwerff(CAN)and then Mary. With 400 meters to go, Mary went from 5th to 1st and in the final pulsating 100 meters she held off the late rush of the other 3. "My goal was to finish in the top 5 here, my focus is still 3k/5k. But it's nice to do the mile to get that sharpness, you need to good run a good mile to run a good 3k/5k"

The New Balance Games again was sold out and everyone left with a buzz of what Alan Webb  will be able to do this year, and saw a great race from Mary Cullen
