Unlike last year when the New Balance meet was significantly better than the Nike meet, I think this year will be much closer.
New Balance is the more famous meet, and the Armory is more famous than Ocean Breeze, which is where Nike held it's meet last year.
I also think that more kids would want to go to New York City (where both meets where held last year) than Boston, which is where the New Balance meet will be held this year.
But now the Nike meet has 2 out of 3 things - Located in New York City and at the Armory. That's going to be attractive to a lot of kids.
Plus I think that Nike will do a better job of marketing their meet this year than they did last year.
So I think that in 2023 more top distance runners will go to Boston for the New Balance meet, but the gap will be much less than last year.
