The Nike Indoor Nation’s is excited to return to the Reggie Lewis Center in Boston.

As many know, the banked track is one of the fastest in the U.S., having hosted the USATF Championships and the NCAA Division II Championships for many years. The track has played in integral part of numerous national high school records, as well as elite level national and world records.

Our return to Boston in 2009 was testament to that. Aside from numerous U.S. high school leaders, these were the national records set:

Boys 5000m – Lukas Verzbicas (Lincoln Way, New Lenox, IL) – 14:18.42

Boys 60m Hurdles – Wayne Davis (Southeast, Raleigh, NC) 7.60

Boys 4×800m – Albemarle, Charlottesville, VA – 7:36.99

Boys 4xMile – West Windsor-Plainsboro North, Plainsboro, NJ – 17:21.58

Boys Weight Throw – Conor Mc Cullough (Chaminade, West Hills, CA) – 92-7.5

Though the girls did not achieve any national records, they accounted for 11 U.S. leaders!

We wish to thank the Boston community in general, and the Director and Assistant Director of the Reggie Lewis Center, Keith Mc Dermott and Nancy Sheehan-Curran, respectively, for helping to make it happen.

Please join us in 2010 for what promises to be the best Nike Indoor Nationals ever!

Tufts University – As legend has it, when a relative asked Charles Tufts what he would do with his inherited land, and more particularly with "that bleak hill over in Medford," Tufts replied, "I will put a light on it."

• Founded in 1962, the Beelzebubs, an all-male a cappella group, is one of the oldest student groups on campus. Known as the Bubs, the ensemble’s actual name is "Jumbo’s Disciples: The Beelzebubs"—a play on John Milton’s description of the devil’s right-hand man. The group, which averages 12 members at a time, has performed around the world, including appearances on CBS’s Late Night with David Letterman and at Major League Baseball’s All-Star Game at Fenway Park.

• Named for its location, South Hall was built in 1991 on the Medford/Somerville campus. The 378-bed residence hall, Tufts’ largest, is known for its rooms, which are long and thin, as opposed to the square rooms found in most other residence halls on campus.

• The carillon of 25 bells in Goddard Chapel, which ring daily at 5 p.m., was begun in 1908 with an "A" bell. Given by the Class of 1898, the first bell rang to announce football victories and other Tufts events. In 1926, Eugene A. Bowen, who worked his way through Tufts as the campus bell-ringer, donated nine more bells to the university. The last 15 bells were given in 1964 in honor of former provost and senior vice president John P. Tilton.
