BOSTON (Feb. 4) – From a razor-close finish in the women’s 800 meters to a dramatic crash in the men’s Mile to an American Record in the pole vault, the New Balance Indoor Grand Prix offered something for every one of the 4,072 fans in the sold-out Reggie Lewis Center tonight.

Beyond the Races at the New Balance Grand Prix

Thanks to the hard work of Steve Infascelli, James Rooney, and Greg Zopatti, MileSplitMass will be bringing fans a series of candid videos from the meet. This lighthearted look at life beyond the lines of the oval truly shows the passion and enthusiasm these three coaches have for the sport they love. In this first set of videos we learn what proper wam-up attire is, get Super Bowl picks from the pros, and find out what position David Oliver would play if he was on the Patriots roster.

New Balance Grand Prix Preview

A stacked field has been assembled for both mile races, and the addition of the boys 4x800m and girls 4x400m has given high school track fans even more to cheer for. The Reggie Lewis Center track is considered a relatively fast surface, and if athletes get after it early, we may see some jaw dropping times.

The Resurgence Of The Mile: NB Grand Prix, US Open, and The Millrose Games

New York NY - The mile is a classic distance. About 8 meters longer than the now standard 1600m, the mile recently has seen a movement encouraging its' return. There is even a website dedicated to this very thing, petitioning high school sports to return to the classic distance. And if there ever was any indication that the mile was still alive, the fields for the mile at the upcoming US Open and Millrose would be it. See if your favorite made the cut.
