Reigning world champions Cole Hocker and Cordell Tinch also secured titles in the two-mile and 60m hurdles, respectively, highlighting a competitive indoor track meet.
The 118th Millrose Games, held at The Nike Track & Field Center in New York, featured intense rivalries among top global athletes on February 1, 2026. In the men's Wanamaker Mile, 19-year-old Australian Cameron Myers set an Oceanian record with a world-leading time of 3:47.57, denying American Yared Nuguse a fourth consecutive win. Nuguse finished second in 3:48.31, while Hobbs Kessler took third at 3:48.68. Myers' performance marked the ninth-fastest short track mile in history.
Nikki Hiltz secured her first Wanamaker Mile title in the women's race, clocking a personal best and world-leading 4:19.64 to edge Australia's Jessica Hull by 0.47 seconds. Hull finished in 4:20.11, with Poland's Klaudia Kazimierska third in a national record of 4:21.36.
Cole Hocker, the Olympic 1,500m and world 5,000m champion, won the men's two-mile in 8:07.31, narrowly beating Britain's Josh Kerr by 0.37 seconds. Kerr, the 2023 world 1,500m champion, clocked 8:07.68, while Australia's Ky Robinson set a national short track best of 8:08.40 for fourth. "This was full of heavy hitters, guys that can draw it out but have that punch at the end," Hocker said. "I'm just glad I timed it right."
In the 60m hurdles, reigning world champion Cordell Tinch of the USA triumphed in 7.52 seconds, rebounding from a fifth-place finish the previous week. Jamaica's Danielle Williams won the women's 60m hurdles in 7.90, ahead of Bahamas' Devynne Charlton in 7.96. "The execution was a little sloppy," Williams noted, "but I'll take the win."
