Our friends a the Armory cancelled the meet on Saturday, January 23, and moved it to Sunday, January 24, 2016 for matters of safety when the Big Snow of 2016 blanketed the Five Boroughs. We think that is a good mood.

Saturday’s New Balance Games Postponed Until Sunday

New York, NY (January 22, 2016) – Saturday’s scheduled New Balance Games at The Armory has been postponed until Sunday (January 24) due to the anticipated threat of Winter Storm Jonas.
