The race also features Blake Heriot (OH), US#3 in the 200 and Fuquwan Greene (NC), US#4 in the 200. John Thomas (NY), who has a goal of setting the indoor national record in the 300, has the perfect race in which to do it. This race is stacked and promises to be a thriller!

Zavon Watkins (NY) will be defending his US#1 position in the 1000 meter run against some competition sure to bring the fastest time of the season.

In the boys 4x800 US#3 Liverpool (NY) and US#5 Burnt Hills (NY) could push each other to some seriously fast times on the Armory track. US#9 Abington (PA) will look to prove they are as good as their win in the Millrose Games relay last weekend with a 8:01, fast for the MSG track. St. Anthony's (NY), US#11, will also be in the race.
In the junior boys weight throw US#2 Bret Hardin is the top-ranked athlete, but shares the status of favorite with Alec Faldermeyer (NY), who has been throwing the 35-lb weight really far this season. Also throwing will be James Hall, US#9, and Tyler Prendergast, US#10.
