Next Up...New Balance Nationals!


For the second straight year, La Salle Academy captured the 4xMile at the NBNI in 2016.

The New England Championships have come and gone so that means just one thing when it comes to the indoor track & field season. It's time for the New Balance Nationals Indoor (NBNI) Championships. Scanning through the entry list for this weekend's meet, we noticed quite a few athletes from the Rhode Island area that will be making the trip to the New Balance Armory in New York City, including several in the Championship events. Who are those athletes (and relay teams) that will be competing for an All-American placement at NBNI? Along with other articles, MileSplit RI will be featuring some of those individuals this week, leading up to nationals. 

Note: Coaches, if any of your athletes are missing from the below list (Championship and Emerging Elite events), please let us know. Just send an email to Steve Mazzone at smazzzone5@gmail.com.
