Contact: David O Brian ([email protected]) NEW YORK CITY, N.Y. Junior middle distance runner Jesse Garn was eighth overall in the Wanamaker Mile at the Millrose Games on Saturday afternoon. The meet was held at the New York City Armory and was televised live on NBCSN. There were 13 runners in Garn’s race. In a field with some of the top milers in the world, Garn ran a lifetime-best 4:01.10. It was eight seconds faster than the 4:09 he recorded at the Penn State National Meet two weeks ago.
