The Millrose Mile is one of the most prestigious events in the sport.  Rooted in nearly 100 years of history, this years field looks to be one of the finest.  For the first time ever, we'll have the son of a former Millrose HS Miler in the field, in the form of Ned Willig (Read more about that here).  We'll also have Zavon Watkins, who proved at both the New Balance Games and the US Open that he is a mature, racing machine thats not easily outkicked.  For the girls, Samantha Nadel just came off a Madison Square Garden venue record this weekend, one of the most notoriously slow tracks.  How much lower can she go now that Nadel has the likes of Bronxville's Mary Cain and West Genesee's Laura Leff challenging her for the lead.

Forget about those Super Bowl Brackets, and try your hand at the Millrose Mile Bracket.  Being held directly on our facebook page, you'll be able to put your track knowledge to the test.  If you're the first person to correctly guess the COMPLETE finishing order of the Boys and Girls Mile, you win!  See below for more details.  And be sure to check out those fields one more time.

 

Disclaimer:  Due to unfortunate circumstances, Laura Leff has suffered a minor injury, which has sidelined her for the race.  We wish her the best with her recovery.  All previous entries will be kept the same, with her name removed.  Again, we wish her a quick and healthy return.  Also, sara sargeant has been added to the field as a replacement.  In order to be fair to previous entries, her name will neither count towards or against any entry.
