All the way across the country on the opposite coast, New York City’s Amory hosted the world’s longest-running and most prestigious Indoor Track & Field competition for the 110th time last Saturday, the NYRR Millrose Games.
In a weekend where Stanford athletes were spread across 4 meets in 4 different states, last year’s NCAA Outdoor Nationals 800m silver medalist Olivia Baker was sent to the Big Apple to take a crack at her bread and butter event in a stacked field.
Her race was among the most anticipated of the afternoon, overflowing with talent from the likes of pros like Ajee Wilson and Charlene Lipsey, to high-school spectacle Samantha Watson.
