New Balance Nationals Indoor (NBNI)

After a two-year hiatus, the New Balance Nationals Indoor (NBNI) championship meet will return to The Armory’s New Balance Track & Field Center this weekend, March 11th-13th. This three-day track extravaganza will crown national champions across 68 Championship events, 51 Rising Stars events, and 14 Freshman events. NBNI continues the tradition of high school championship racing at The Armory, which dates back to 1999.

Among the top high school track & field student-athletes competing include:
GIRLS:
Roisin Willis (Stevens Point Area RC, WI) is already the national record holder in the 800m with her 2:00.06 clocking, as she looks to become the first girl to break two minutes indoors. She will face a strong challenge from her main rival Sophia Gorriaran (Quakers TC, RI).
Shawnti Jackson (RunU Xpress, NC) became the national record holder in the 60m with her 7.18 at the Millrose Games. This weekend, she will look to secure a double championship, lining up for both the 60m and the 200m.
BOYS:

Colin Sahlman (Newbury Park AC, CA) became just the fourth high schooler to break four minutes in the mile indoors earlier this season, and he will now step down to the 800m distance at NBNI. He will also lead his record-setting teammates in the 4 x 1 mile relay, as they look to become the first team to run under 17 minutes.
Tarik Robinson-O’Hagan (Woonsocket TC, RI) is the national leader in both the shot put and the weight throw. He will contest both throwing events at NBNI as he continues climbing the all-time lists.
Gregory Foster (Lumberton, NJ) is US #1 in the long jump, and will enter NBNI as the favorite. An amazingly versatile athlete, Foster also ranks in the top ten nationally in the triple jump and sprint hurdles, and he will have a busy weekend as he hopes to earn triple All-American status.
Masks are recommended (no longer required) to be worn inside of The Armory for all visitors, including athletes of all ages, coaches, spectators, and other guests. Per the City of New York, “NYC has discontinued the Key to NYC vaccination requirement.”
