Olympic And World Championships Medalists Highlight 107th NYRR Millrose Games

Among the top Americans entered in the 107^th NYRR Millrose Games include Olympic gold medalist and Decathlon world record holder Ashton Eaton, eight-time NYRR Wanamaker Mile champion Bernard Lagat, and teenage sensation Mary Cain.

As has been tradition, the NYRR Millrose Games will also showcase some of the best high school talent from both the New York metropolitan area and from across the nation. Alexa Efraimson -the reigning Nike Cross Nationals champion- will travel from Camas, Wash. to New York City, taking on Cain in the NYRR Women’s Wanamaker Mile. Competing in the Girl’s Pole Vault will be Texas standout Desiree Freier, who has cleared 13 feet, 9 inches and finished ninth at the IAAF World Youth Championships in 2013.

NCAA Cross Country champion Abbey D’Agostino leads a number of collegiate athletes who will compete alongside professionals in four events. The Dartmouth senior will race 3,000 meters, while University of Arizona standout Lawi Lalang will compete in the NYRR Wanamaker Mile. Florida’s Cory McGee, who represented Team USA at the 2013 IAAF World Championships, is entered in the NYRR Women’s Wanamaker Mile.

“I would have to say that this year is the deepest NYRR Millrose Games,” said Dr. Norbert Sander, Executive Director of the Armory Foundation. “This year is different. You have athletes with terrific credentials in every event.”
