The Armory’s New Balance Track and Field Center , has made some major improvements over the years , from when long distance runner , and Miler Steve Taylor used to run on this indoor track – it was plain old wood – flat all the way around 220 yards. Now the surface has been upgraded with a material that is more conducive for faster times, and world record attempts ! It was at the Millrose Games where Irish Miler great Eamonn Coghlan earned the nickname, “Chairman of the Boards” (because the surface of the track was made of wooden boards).
