Boys' 4x800-Meter Run - Saturday, 2:12 P.M.
The State College boys roared to a win in the 4x800 at last year's Millrose Games, with created the iconic image of anchor leg Alex Milligan crossing the finish line above. While they lost two pieces to last year's state championship quartet, including Milligan, State College still boasts a strong 4x8 that will return to New York on Saturday.
Nick Feffer and Owen Wing are the holdovers from last year and after a 8:10 at Susquehanna two weeks ago, they'll look to dial up some more magic at Millrose.
Germantown Friends and Pennsbury are also in the field, representing Pennsylvania. Germantown Friends is the top ranked PA squad in the race, after running 8:01 at Yale. They've also run a strong DMR and may have the team to contend for the win. Pennsbury, meanwhile, ran 8:03 at last month's Millrose Trials. They, too, have a deep group of guys that could challenge up front.
Also in the race are the US#1s from Morris Hills (NJ). US#3 St. Benedict's (NJ), US#5 Union Catholic (NJ), US#6 Marshfield (MA), and US#7 Hopewell Valley (NJ) are among the other teams in the race that have run sub-8 times so far this season, making this a loaded and open field.
