In little over a week, a strong contingency of Massachusetts's best high school athletes will be flocking to the NYC Armory for the 2016 New Balance Indoor National Championships. Many will be looking to end their seasons on a high note, a few will be out to snag All-American certificates, and some will be eyeing the top spot on the podium in their respective events.
Meanwhile, on the same weekend, thousand miles away in Birmingham, AL / Pittsburg, Kansas / and Grinnell,Iowa, a handful of former Massachusetts athletes will be toeing the line at their respective NCAA Indoor Championships in pursuit of their own glory. From the HJ to the 5k, we will have a strong group of athletes to cheer for at each NCAA meet, while also keeping close tabs on all of our representatives at NBIN!
