More than 150 London Olympians have run at the The Armory. That is a fact. Pretty amazing that one of the true positive sanctuaries of sport has housed that many great athletes. But, with the 80 plus events and 100,000 plus athletes a year, it just makes sense! 

Looking forward to some great track & field in the next three weeks and also to the 2013 Indoor season!

More than 150 London Olympians Have Performed  
at The Armory

New York, July 24, 2012 – When the 2012 Olympic Games’ Opening Ceremony begins July 27, many of the world’s most famous track & field athletes in London can count The Armory as a place where they showcased their extraordinary talents. As many as 156 athletes 
competing in the 2012 Olympics have performed at The New Balance Track & Field Center 
at The Armory.
 
“There have been more Olympians who have competed indoors at The Armory than in any 
building in America,” said Dr. Norb Sander, Executive Director of The Armory Foundation.
 
The 156 athletes will be representing 40 nations in the 2012 London Olympics.
 
Among those Olympians who won at The Armory during this year’s 105th Millrose Games 
include United States’ Jenny Simpson, (New York Road Runners Wanamaker Women’s 
Metric Mile), Matthew Centrowitz (NYRR Wanamaker Mile), Bernard Lagat (5,000m in 
13:07.15, a United States’ record), LaShawn Merritt (Mel Sheppard Men’s 500m Dash), 
Sanya Richards-Ross (Howard Schmertz Women’s 400m Dash), Morgan Uceny (Women’s 800m) and Jesse Williams (John Thomas Men’s High Jump).
 
“The history and the quality of The Armory track makes it one of my favorite places to 
race. The venue has been instrumental in providing great racing opportunities for many 
of the world’s best athletes,” said Simpson, one of 55 USA athletes who have competed 
at The Armory and will be in London.
 
Along with 55 Olympic representatives from the United States, there are 19 from Jamaica, 
13 from Trinidad and 11 from Canada.
 
“The Armory congratulates the 156 Olympic athletes from around the world who have 
performed under its roof,” said Ray Flynn, Millrose Games Meet Director. 
“The Armory is proud of the tradition of these 156 Olympians and wishes them well 
as they represent their countries the next three weeks in London.”
