The 117th Millrose Games, the most anticipated indoor track & field event of the year, is now just three days away, scheduled for this Saturday, February 8th at the Nike Track & Field Center at The Armory. The Millrose Games features top-flight competition at every level, with the best athletes in the world set to take on New York City.
Millrose Games Meet Director and Olympian Ray Flynn, the Irish record holder in the mile and now one of the most respected athlete managers in the sport, shares his top ten highlights to watch for in 2025.
1: High School Record Watch
National high school records could be on the line in at least half a dozen races. Andrew Salvodon and Archbishop Carroll (DC) have already set national records this year in the Boys 500m and Boys 4x200m, and they will look to further lower those marks. Bullis (MD) is US #1 in both the Girls 4x200m and 4x400m, and they are less than two tenths of a second off the records in both races. Union Catholic (NJ) looks to add the Girls 4x800m record after shattering the outdoor mark last spring. Sadie Engelhardt will race the pros in the NYRR Women’s Wanamaker Mile, and Mary Cain’s record set in the same race in 2014 could be on the table. Don’t miss the best prep athletes in the nation!

In the quickest race of the day, Trayvon Bromell makes his return to the track as he looks to get back to the form that made him World Indoor Champion over 60m. He will face off against Tokyo Olympic 100m gold medalist Marcell Jacobs, who is making his Millrose Games debut.
3: Russell and Charlton are the Top Hurdlers in the World
Nobody had a better first season as a professional athlete than Masai Russell did in 2024, a year that culminated in an Olympic gold medal in the 100m hurdles. However, no hurdler is quicker out of the blocks than Devynne Charlton, who broke the 60m hurdles world record at the Millrose Games in 2024, before setting it again a month later. Only one woman can come out on top in the BBR Partners Women’s 60m Hurdles that also includes star hurdlers Grace Stark and Ackera Nugent, as well as high schooler Taylor Cox, who could be looking to challenge the national record.
