2014 New Balance Nationals Indoor
It's hard to believe that this will be the third year at the Armory! Our partnership with New Balance, and the cooperation of Dr. Norbert Sander, Executive Director of the Armory Foundation, have helped make this meet a memorable one.
The 2013 meet saw three National Records, 4 class records, 40 National leaders and 31 meet records! When the nation's best high school athletes gather together in one place, great things happen. As we say each year, the next version, schedule for Friday, Saturday and Sunday, March 14-16, 2014 may be the best yet!

Emerging Elite vs Championship
The Championship races are for those who have made the qualifying standards for those events. The Emerging Elite is for those who have not quite made those standards. The Emerging Elite Division is open to any high school athlete who has made the Emerging Elite standards, whether they be Freshman, Sophomores, Juniors or Seniors.
The idea is that, eventually, an Emerging Elite athlete will join the elite ranks, but has not yet attained that status. We have had this division in place for several years now in the outdoor version of this meet. A prime example is that of Kyle Merber. He won the Emerging Elite mile as a junior in 2007 in 4:15.95 (The championship mile was won in 4:03.33). The next year he was New York State 1600m Champion. And, this year, his Sophomore year at Columbia U, he ran 3:58.62 for a mile! Similarly, Megan Goethals was the Emerging Elite mile champion in 2008 in 4:59.26. In 2009, she became the Foot Locker National Champion in cross-country.
