Three masters mile relays again set for Millrose Games on Feb. 20
The 2016 Millrose Games will, again, feature masters relays, the schedule shows. The Feb. 20 event at the New York Armory will showcase a series of 4-by-400s, including ones for men over 40, 50 and 60 and one for all women. Normally, I get a heads up on how to enter. This year, nothing. But Millrose lists Devon Martin as the contact for “Clubs & Masters Events.” (Write her here.) Devon coaches the Central Park Track Club and is credited with having helped set W35 records in the indoor 4-by-800. Last year, Bernard Lagat was the headliner for his sub-3:55 mile at age 40. Wonder who will be the geezer star this year? If anyone has details on masters relays, please share here. But I’ll write Devon as well.

Thanks for posting this, Ken, and I hope the relays are a big success.
My question is: Is Devon Martin a guy? In my years of announcing her I always thought she was a woman. She’s very personable, super smart, and looks great, but I guess she fooled me.

Thanks for the info, Chuck! And my apologies to Devon for gender bending. I’ve fixed references.
