Yes/No: Heath in top five in Wanamaker Mile?


Madison Square Garden in New York City had been the illustrious venue for the Millrose Games for nearly a century, playing host to the event from 1914 until 2011.  A move to the nearby Armory didn't dampen the intrigue... the very next year's performances were ones for the record books.

Garret Heath claimed a starring role in the Wanamaker Mile, taking third place with a personal best of 3:55.24 in an ultra-competitive race (8 runners broke 3:58).  Matthew Centrowitz won the race in 3:53.92, the fastest ever mile at the Armory, and Miles Batty set a collegiate record with his second-place time of 3:54.54.

Heath will return in 2013 to face Centrowitz and a field that could boast even more depth than last year.  Let us know how he will fare...

Yes/No: Will Garrett Heath finish in the top five at the Wanamaker Mile at the Millrose Games on Saturday?

The 2013 Wanamaker Mile features three favorites: Matthew Centrowitz, Lopez Lomong and Ryan Gregson.  Bringbackthemile.com sets the field and lists Heath as having the fourth fastest mile-best and the fifth fastest among 1500 personal records.

Other top runners in this race include Robbie Andrews, Ciaran O'Lionaird, Lawi Lalang and Donn Cabral

To play our game, simply type "yes" or "no" into the subject line of an e-mail and send it to us at DtBFantasy [AT] gmail [DOT] com before 8:45 P.M. CDT, Saturday, February 16th.  Please put your answers in the subject line of the e-mail and make sure your full name appears somewhere in the e-mail.  We will offer a bonus for participants making their 2013 debut in Yes/No - a correct answer will be worth two points for anyone who has not played yet this year.

My Answer:  No

Last week's questions was:  Will Harun Abda finish ahead of Zach Mellon and run sub 1:48:00 in the 800 meters at Iowa State?  The answer was no.  Abda ran 1:49.34 for fourth place while Mellon ran 1:50.92 for seventh.  It was a tough question this week as only five players answered correctly. There are now five players tied for first with four points:  Mike Mason, Dylan Dragswiek, Lori Anne Schwiesow, Toby Hatlevig and Dimitri Drekonja.
