The 118th edition of the Millrose Games is fast-approaching, and the fields for the U.S. indoor season’s premier meet are filling up fast. On Monday, meet organizers announced a trio of entrants in the men’s 60m and 60mH, set to square off on February 1st at The Armory in New York City. Jordan Anthony, Ackeem Blake, and Marcellus Moore will contest the flat race, while Cordell Tinch, Daniel Roberts, and Dylan Beard will compete over the barriers.
The full fields will be announced at a later date.
Here’s what you need to know:
– Anthony swept the 60m and 100m NCAA and SEC titles while at Arkansas last year, earning The Bowerman for his exploits. The 21-year-old signed with Adidas over the summer and moved from Fayetteville to Clermont, Florida, where he trains under coach Lance Brauman and trains alongside Noah Lyles. Anthony’s 60m PB of 6.47 was the third-fastest time in the world last year and ranks him tied for No. 6 on the collegiate all-time list.
– Blake is the Jamaican record holder over 60m, having run 6.42 outdoors in 2023. (His fastest indoor time is 6.45.) He claimed World Indoor bronze in Glasgow two years ago, but did not race an indoor season in 2025. This will be Blake’s second appearance at Millrose, having finished third in 2024.
– Moore will look to defend his title when he steps on the track in three weeks, having won this race in 6.56 last February. He finished just .01 off of making the U.S. team for last year’s World Indoor Championships and went on to have the best outdoor season of his career. He broke 10 seconds for the first time in the 100m, running 9.96 in Canada, before going on to finish eighth in the U.S. final.

– Tinch is the second World champion from Tokyo to have been announced for Millrose, the other being Cole Hocker in the men’s two mile. Tinch’s profile exploded last summer. His 12.87 run in China slotted him in a tie as the fourth-fastest man in 110mH history. He went on to dip under 13 seconds on three more occasions en route to his gold in Tokyo. However, his indoor accolades don’t quite match up with his outdoor resume, missing out on U.S. teams each of the past two years and finishing fourth and second in his two Millrose appearances.
– Roberts will be looking to start 2026 off on the right foot after last season provided nothing but frustrating results before being cut short due to an Achilles injury. In six 110mH races, he never ran faster than 13.30 and last raced at the Rome Diamond League on June 6th. Despite never making a U.S. indoor team, Roberts is one of just 16 men to ever break 7.40 in the 60mH, running 7.39 in 2023. This will be Roberts’ fourth Millrose appearance— he won in 2020 and finished as runner-up in 2022 and 2024.
– Beard is the two-time defending champion at Millrose, beating Roberts to the line in 2024 and Tinch in 2025. He’s coming off the best outdoor season of his career. Beard ran 13.02 in the 110mH at the Paris Diamond League before making his first U.S. team for a major championship, advancing to the semifinals in Tokyo.
