NEW YORK CITY — An historic Wanamaker men's mile capped off a day that saw three American indoor records and dominant world-leading performances by Team USATF's top stars Saturday at the 115th Millrose Games at the Armory. 18 years to the day after Bernard Lagat set the American indoor record of 3:49.89 in the men's mile, Yared Nuguse stunned a high-quality field with his 3:47.38, shattering the AR with the second-fastest time in history. Following an expert pace set by Erik Sowinski, Nuguse and Australia's Olli Hoare were at the front with Spain's Mario Garcia Romo at the halfway point, going by in just under 1:54. Nuguse steadily moved into the front and with two laps remaining he was at 2:53.15 and needed a sub-57 final quarter to claim the AR. He got all that and more, pulling away step by step with a 54.23 to cap off an incredible effort. Neil Gourley of Britain overtook 2022 champion Hoare to place second in 3:49.46. Holding off a strong challenge by Brittany Brown, Abby Steiner bettered the American record in the women's 300m with a 35.54 that just missed the world best of 35.45 that was set by Russia's Irina Privalova in 1993. Steiner and Brown, the 2019 world outdoor 200m silver medalist, were out very quickly and Brown led through 200m in 22.82 before Steiner eased past her and used a 12.48 final 100m to claim the AR from Quanera Hayes, who set the existing standard of 35.71 in 2017. Rumors do sometimes prove true, and they certainly did in the women's 3,000, where there was pre-meet talk of an American record attempt. Alicia Monson and Elise Cranny tucked in behind the pacemaker through the first kilometer, with Elly Henes trailing the duo by a meter. Monson passed 1km in 2:48.80, less than a half-second ahead of Cranny and Henes, but the pace dropped off a bit over the next two laps. Going through 1,600m in 4:32.74 Monson still kept the lead over Cranny as Whittni Morgan passed Henes to move into third. Morgan and North Carolina State's Katelyn Tuohy surged past Cranny into the final two laps as Monson continued to stretch her lead. On the last lap, Monson pushed the pedal to the floor to clock 31.80 and sprinted to an American record of 8:25.05, bettering the existing AR by .65 seconds. Morgan was a solid second in a lifetime best 8:30.13 to move to No. 5 on the all-time U.S. indoor performer list, and Tuohy shattered the collegiate record with an 8:35.20 in third to vault to No. 8 on that list. The top five women all bettered 8:40, the deepest American women’s indoor 3,000 ever. One of only two American women ever to throw the shot put past the 20m line indoors, co-American record holder Chase Ealey did it again on her third attempt, hitting 20.03m/65-8.75. That was a world leader for 2023 and the third best throw in U.S. indoor history. Maggie Ewen, the 2022 USATF indoor champion, went to the lead with her 19.49m/63-11.5 season best on her first attempt but was passed by Canada's Sarah Mitton in the next round with a 19.52m64-0.5. Ealey's big throw came in the third round and she added two more throws better than 63-0 in the final two rounds. Overtaking Britain's Laura Muir with two laps to go in the women's Wanamaker Mile, Josette Andrews made a run for the win but couldn't stave off a gallant reply from Muir, who came back in the final 150m to win in 4:20.15. Andrews placed second in 4:20.88, repeating her runner-up effort from 2022, with Helen Schlachtenhaufen garnering a big lifetime best of 4:23.94 in fifth. Experimenting with a new technique, world indoor record holder Ryan Crouser powered out to 22.50m/73-10 on his first try in the men's shot put and then improved to 22.58m/74-1 in the second round to pad his winning margin over Joe Kovacs, who took second with a best of 21.34m/70-0.25. Cooper Teare and Joe Klecker were near the front of the men's 3,000m through 1km in 2:31 and passed the mile mark in just over 4:05. Teare took the lead at 2km in 5:06.45, a stride up on Guatemala's Luis Grijalva, with Klecker another meter behind them. Grijalva and Klecker pushed past Teare with three to go and Britain's Josh Kerr lurked in fourth. A kicker's race at the bell saw Kerr and Grijalva fight it out down the straight and the Brit came away best to win in an Armory record 7:33.47. Grijalva was second in 7:33.86, with Klecker smashing his lifetime best to finish third in 7:34.14 and Teare doing the same to take fourth in 7:34.70. Tennessee's Dylan Jacobs just missed the collegiate record with a 7:36.89 PB in seventh. A crazy fast first lap put Shamier Little way ahead of the field in the women's 600m, going through 200m in 25.45 and 400m in 54.25 before the tank went dry and Ajee' Wilson rolled past her with 100m to go on her way to her 19th straight win at the Armory, this time in 1:24.85. Little held on to place second in 1:26.16, with Allie Wilson third in 1:26.40. Kenya's World Indoor silver medalist Noah Kibet surged past Isaiah Harris on the final circuit of the men's 800m and claimed the 2023 world lead with a lifetime best of 1:44.98. Harris also notched a lifetime indoor best with his 1:45.64 for silver, while 2016 Rio Games bronze medalist Clayton Murphy came through for third in 1:46.83. Last year's World Indoor bronze medalist, Bryce Hoppel, was knocked off stride with about 500m to go and couldn't recover. A starter's call-up and then a false start assessed to Noah Lyles dramatically changed the complexion of the men's 60m. World record holder Christian Coleman blasted out of the blocks on the third attempt at a clean start and never yielded the lead on the way to a 6.47 win and an Armory record. After his charged false start, Lyles competed under protest, however the false start and DQ was upheld after review. Williams got the decision over Josephus Lyles by .003 as both men clocked lifetime bests at 6.59. Winning her third straight meet in the women's 60m, world leader Aleia Hobbs had to overcome a speedy start by training partner Mikiah Brisco, moving past her by the 20m mark and taking the victory in 7.04. Tamari Davis grabbed second in 7.08, with last year's World Indoor Championships bronze medalist, Marybeth Sant Price, third in 7.11. Brisco held on for fourth in 7.13, just ahead of Shawnti Jackson, who broke her own national high school record with a 7.16 in fifth. Olympic and World Championships gold medalist Katie Moon had a clear card through 4.81m/15-9.25 to win the women's pole vault, taking the U.S. lead for 2023 from Bridget Williams, who ended up second at 4.76m/15-7.25. Moon made three attempts at what would have been a world-leading 4.92m/16-1.75. Action on the track opened with the women's 60m hurdles, where Tonea Marshall and Devynne Charlton of the Bahamas were out very quickly before Charlton picked up a small lead over the final three barriers to win in 7.91, with Marshall second in 7.94. Sharika Nelvis and 2019 world 100m hurdles champion Nia Ali also dipped under eight seconds in 7.96 and 7.97, respectively. Trinidad's reigning men's world indoor 400m champion Jereem Richards avenged a loss to Noah Williams at last week's New Balance Indoor GP, winning comfortably in 45.84 with Williams second in 46.20. In the USATF 1 Mile Race Walk Championships races, Sam Allen and Maria Michta-Coffey used similar tactics to come away with victories. Allen and John Cody Risch were within a stride of each other through the first half mile, with Jordan Crawford not far behind. Over the final quarter mile, Allen pulled ahead and went on to win in 6:13.58. Michta-Coffey had Heather Durrant and Katie Burnett close to her through the first three-quarters and then dropped a 1:40.60 final quarter-mile to win in 6:53.83.
