Millrose Games 2010
29 January, 2010
The Millrose Games is an annual indoor athletics meet (track and field) held in New York City’s Madison Square Garden since 1914. The games were started when employees of the Wanamaker’s department store formed the Millrose Track Club to hold a meet. The featured event is the Wanamaker Mile.
Seven-time Wanamaker Mile champion Bernard Lagat will have to defeat the man who outsprinted him for silver at the 2009 IAAF World Championships 1,500 meters when he goes for a record eighth Wanamaker title at the 103rd Millrose Games. The 2007 world champion and two-time Olympic medalist in the 1,500m, Lagat finished third at the 2009 World Championship in Berlin behind Deresse Mekonnen of Ethiopia in a furious final sprint. On January 29 at Madison Square Garden, Lagat will have an opportunity to seek revenge against Mekonnen, as well as Millrose history.
