The Millrose Trials prove that the Armory Foundation is committed to the long tradition of high schools at the Games. “The mission is to bring back excellence to the Millrose Games, to great races, record-breaking races, and to make a stronger link between the high school kids and the professional athletes,” says Ray Flynn.

The Millrose Games itself began in 1908 when employees at Wanamaker’s department store formed the Millrose Track Club and formed a meet. It grew so fast, the Games moved to Madison Square Garden in 1914.
