The Millrose Games once again delivered one of the most compelling nights of the indoor season, with world-leading times, major upsets, and breakout performances across the track events at the Armory Track and Field Center.

At the 118th running of the meet, Cameron Myers captured the Wanamaker Mile with one of the fastest indoor miles ever run. Nikki Hiltz earned their first Wanamaker Mile title on the womenโ€™s side, while Cole Hocker closed hard to defeat Josh Kerr in a much-anticipated two-mile showdown.

From the sprints to the distance races, nearly every event produced personal bests, records, or season-defining performances.

Cam Myers Takes Control of the Wanamaker Mile

The menโ€™s Wanamaker Mile was the centerpiece of the meet, and 19-year-old Cameron Myers rose to the moment.

After staying close to the leaders early, the Australian pushed to the front midway through the race and steadily widened the gap. He crossed the line in 3:47.57, a world-leading time and the ninth-fastest indoor mile in history. It was also the third-fastest mile of his young career.

Myersโ€™ 1500m split of 3:32.78 was the fastest in the world this season. The performance denied American Yared Nuguse a fourth straight Wanamaker Mile victory. Nuguse finished second in 3:48.31, with Hobbs Kessler third in 3:48.68. Nico Young ran a personal best 3:48.72 in fourth, and Irelandโ€™s Andrew Coscoran dipped under 3:50 for fifth.

The win came one week after Myers set an Oceanian record in the 3000m in Boston, confirming his status as one of the breakout stars of the indoor season.

Nikki Hiltz Claims First Wanamaker Mile Title

The womenโ€™s Wanamaker Mile unfolded as a tactical race before exploding over the final lap.

Sinclaire Johnson took over after the pacemaker stepped aside, with Jessica Hull and Linden Hall close behind. Nikki Hiltz moved into position as the field tightened, then launched a decisive kick at the bell. Over the final straight, Hiltz pulled clear to win in a personal best 4:19.64, the fastest mile in the world this year.

Hull, the Olympic silver medalist at 1500m, finished second in 4:20.11. Klaudia Kazimierska of Poland ran 4:21.36 for third, setting a national record. Linden Hall was fourth in 4:21.45.

The victory marked Hiltzโ€™s first Wanamaker Mile title and moved them to third on the all-time American indoor performer list.

Hocker Outkicks Kerr in the Two Mile

The menโ€™s two mile brought together some of the sportโ€™s biggest names, and it came down to patience and positioning.

Cole Hocker, the Olympic 1500m champion and world 5000m gold medalist, waited through an honest but controlled early pace. Over the final lap, Parker Wolfe briefly surged to the lead, but Hocker found another gear, striding past Wolfe and then holding off Josh Kerr down the homestretch.

Hocker won in 8:07.31, the third-fastest indoor two mile ever by an American. Kerr finished second in 8:07.68, while Wolfe took third in 8:07.83. Ky Robinson ran 8:08.40 in fourth to set an Australian indoor record.

Teenager Cooper Lutkenhaus Delivers Again

One of the nightโ€™s most eye-catching performances came from 17-year-old Cooper Lutkenhaus in the menโ€™s 600m.

After Jenoah McKiver led the opening lap in a blazing 47.89, Lutkenhaus attacked and quickly separated from the field. He won in 1:14.15, a world under-20 best and the fifth-fastest indoor time ever recorded. McKiver finished second in a personal best 1:14.77, with Isaiah Jewett third.

The race came just one week after Lutkenhaus set a U.S. under-20 record in the 800m, adding to a rapidly growing resume.

Breakthrough Performances in the 800 and 3000

The menโ€™s 800m produced one of the biggest surprises of the night. Northern Arizonaโ€™s Colin Sahlman surged wide off the final bend and powered past the leaders to win in 1:44.70, a personal best and the fifth-fastest indoor time ever by an American.

Spainโ€™s Mohamed Attaoui finished second in 1:44.98, also a personal best, while Britainโ€™s Ben Pattison was third in 1:45.53. Former world champion Donavan Brazier placed fourth.

In the womenโ€™s 3000m, Kenyaโ€™s Doris Lemngole showed patience and poise. Sitting in the lead pack for most of the race, Lemngole waited until the final lap to make her move, pulling away to win in 8:31.39. The time was a 10-second personal best and a collegiate record.

Britainโ€™s Hannah Nuttall finished second in 8:32.94, while BYUโ€™s Jane Hedengren was third in 8:34.98.

Sprint and Hurdle Highlights

The short sprints also delivered repeat winners and fast times.

Great Britainโ€™s Dina Asher-Smith won the womenโ€™s 60m in 7.10, holding off Jacious Sears, who ran 7.12. Jamaicaโ€™s Ackeem Blake claimed the menโ€™s 60m in 6.55, repeating his victory from Boston the previous week.

In the hurdles, Jamaicaโ€™s Danielle Williams won the womenโ€™s 60 hurdles in 7.90, edging Devynne Charlton and Christina Clemons. On the menโ€™s side, Cordell Tinch rebounded from a fifth-place finish in Boston to take the win in 7.52.
