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.”

About the NYRR Millrose Games

Since its inception in 1908 at a local armory, the NYRR Millrose Games is one of track and field’s most prestigious annual events. A New York City sports staple, the meet moved to New Balance Track & Field Center at The Armory in Washington Heights in 2012 after having called Madison Square Garden home from 1914 to 2011. The Games – established by employees of Wanamaker’s Department Store – annually feature track & field’s most prolific male and female stars as well as collegiate and high school competitors. More than 200 athletes share the distinction of being both Millrose and Olympic Champions. In November, the New York Road Runners became the title sponsor of the NYRR Millrose Games, which is hosted by the Armory Foundation.
