Reminder of the last time Galen Rupp ran two-miles indoors.

Nike Oregon Project athletes Galen Rupp, Mary Cain, Jordan Hasay and Matthew Centrowitz will headline the new 2015 Armory Track Invitational on Jan. 31. The new meet will be held in place of the Collegiate Invitational and features professional, collegiate and high school runners. 

“The new Armory track makes it as fast as any track indoors and we're pointing for our Nike Oregon Project athletes to race their best at the Armory Track Invitational and NYRR Millrose Games in 2015,” coach Alberto Salazar said in a press release by meet organizers.

Rupp will run the two-mile, which he holds the American Record in after running 8:07.41 last January. Cain and Hasay star in the women’s two-mile. Cain holds a personal best of 9:38:68, which was the third fastest in the world for 2013.  

Centrowitz will run on an international distance medley relay team. The Brooks Beasts and New Jersey-New York Track Club will also field a relay team. International teams may include Kenya and Ireland.
