MileSplit NY - Stunning.  We knew going into this weekend that big things were on the horizon, but we just didn't know the caliber of the performances we would see.  Performances were split between the Armory Collegiate Invite in NYC, and the New Balance Grand Prix in Boston.  Highlights don't do each mark justice, but we hope to clue you in to some of the top stories, other than some sily football game.

Newtonsportsphotograpy.com captured some amazing photo's from the New Balance Grand Prix meet at Reggie Lewis Center. Please visit the photo gallery here and watch this amazing video below.

There are few opportunities in sports for high school-aged athletes to run in the same venues as the professionals. Massachusetts basketball players  revel in the fact that they play their sectional finals at the TD Garden, the same parquet on which the Celtics compete. But, imagine that those kids played their high school games right after the Celtics finished. Or, better yet, at halftime. Well, the New Balance Indoor Grand Prix goes a step farther, not only allowing athletes to compete in the same meet as the pros,  but allowing one athlete to even compete against them.

Milesplitmass will have complete coverage of all the action tonight at Reggie lewis Center.
