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!
