It’s been six years since Olympic 1500m champion Matthew Centrowitz won the Fifth Avenue Mile. In that stretch, Jenny Simpson has won it five straight times.
Centrowitz and Simpson stand out among 18 total Olympians entered in Sunday’s Fifth Avenue Mile, an annual road mile stretching 20 blocks in New York City adjacent to Central Park. A full elite field is here.
NBC, NBCSports.com/live and the NBC Sports app air live coverage at noon ET. NBC Sports Gold airs live, commercial-free coverage.
It’s part of a weekend of track and field action as the outdoor season wraps up (aside from marathons).
