The women’s mile at the 2026 BU Valentine Invitational delivered one of the greatest races in collegiate history.

The 26th edition of the New Balance Indoor Grand Prix saw 11 national indoor records, including three American records in the distance events by Donavan Brazier in the 800m (1:44.21), Bryce Hoppel in the 1000m (2:16.27), and Elinor Purrier in the two-mile (9:10.28).  What was the fourth of six gold-level meetings of the 2021 World Athletics Indoor Tour was held for the first time at the Ocean Breeze Track and Field Athletic Complex in Staten Island, N.Y., because the event's regular home in Boston, the Reggie Lewis Track and Athletic Center, was converted to a COVID mass-vaccination site.
