  Next month some of the best high school runners in the country will be in Boston for the junior mile at the New Balance Indoor Grand Prix. Chariho Regional senior Bryce Kelley and La Salle Academy sophomore Sheridan Wilbur will be among that elite group. Both runners earned automatic bids by capturing respective titles in the invitational mile at the 44th annual Dartmouth Relays this past Saturday. Kelley blazed to a winning time of 4 minutes, 20.13 seconds. It was his fastest time in an open race. He owns a best of 4:15.6, which he ran as part of Chariho’s national record-setting 4x1 mile relay at last year’s New Balance Indoor Nationals.

The New Balance Indoor National Championships start Friday morning at the Armory in New York.  MileSplit New England will follow the accomplishments of all the athletes from the region and post updates as they become available. 

All morning, the buzz at the Armory around the boys 4 x mile was focused on two powerhouse programs that have dominated distance running in recent years. It was a two-horse race, the chatter went, and whichever favorite emerged – Shaker High School or New Jersey's Christian Brothers Academy – would also own a new national record.
