New Balance Nationals Indoor

On-Site Coverage

NBNI: Final day produces national champion (and more)

After three exciting days of the best track & field this indoor season, the New Balance Nationals at The Armory came to a close on Sunday. There were seven national records, several meet marks and nation No. 1 efforts and some great performances from our Rhode Island athletes, too.

Kelly tops Coach Gourley's list by bringing home national title to R.I.

One could excuse Adam Kelly for being a little nervous and in a hurry. After all, national championships were on the line Sunday in New York City. Despite some anxious moments, the junior from Barrington, R.I., was able to withstand a late challenge and capture the New Balance Nationals Indoor title in the weight throw.

Nate Moore triple jumps into double gold

His victory in Saturday’s long jump competition left Nathaniel Moore looking forward to bigger and better things in the 2014 outdoor season. Another gold medal on Sunday has the Fremont, Calif., standout more anxious than ever to compete outdoors.

Redemption for Figueroa

At last year’s New Balance Nationals, Ohio’s Gabby Figueroa was the top-seeded weight-thrower in the country, but left The Armory with a moderately-disappointing third-place finish.

Injured leg guts it out for Blacksburg 4xMile

Based on their 1-2-4-5 finish at the state meet a few weeks ago where they averaged a 5:01 mile, Blacksburg (VA) was considered a strong favorite to win the 4x1 mile relay at the nationals. But that all changed a week and a half ago when a foot injury to relay member Emily Beatty forced the junior to resort to an elliptical machine this past week leading up to the big meet.

Mantz travels long distance to 5K national title

The indoor track & field season has been moderately frustrating for Connor Mantz. Even though the Skyview (UT) junior has run a few quality times since the start of the year, the victories have been minimal. But it all came together Friday night at the New Balance National Indoor Championships.

DiPietro validates US #1 high jump ranking with 5'10.50" personal best clearance

Ellen Dipietro brought a little March madness Friday to one of the most storied venues in track and field. Already the national leader in the girls’ high jump, Dipietro captured the New Balance indoor title by making like a power forward looking for a rebound, adding to her 2014 US best with a winning clearance of 5 feet, 10.5 inches.

Cardinal O'Hara boys flirt with sub 10 in DMR

Cardinal O’Hara coach Tom Kennedy was confident his distance medley relay could run fast and clock a time close to 10-minutes flat at the New Balance Nationals. He also felt that to do that it would take a near-perfect effort by everyone that carried the baton.
