The 113th NYRR Millrose Games was astounding. Meet director Ray Flynn builds this meet around thirteen events that he puts together with someone who is both agent and past elite athlete. Flynn’s appreciation of the history and iconic nature of the Millrose Games can be seen in each event he picks and how he puts the fields together.
We did this podcast in a couple of parts. Why? Because we want you to savor and experience the excitement of the meet. The thirteen elite events are highlighted, and the fans love it. I have to believe that the late Dr. Norb Sander would be happy that his legacy continues.
