Each and every year, the Millrose Games host one of the world’s top indoor track meets. It's a meet that has no shortage of instant classics and American records -- or in rare instances, world records.


A meet of such prestige, which is also being held at the historic Armory in New York City, deserves plenty of attention, even if there are a limited number of NCAA entrants. The high school fields should be plenty thrilling and the pros in each of the invitational distance events should be able to pull the collegians to a handful of all-time performances.
