The Track at New Balance had its official opening last spring and has already seen a world record performance on the lighting fast track.

The time of 10:33.85 shattered the previous record of 10:39.91.
New Balance Nationals Indoor has proven to be the pinnacle HS track and field event, hosting over 3,500 athletes annually, and just last year, the Championships featured the three fastest high school only races in history (Men’s 800m, Men’s mile, and Women’s mile).
