<span style="font-weight: bold;">PROVIDENCE, R.I. -</span> Providence College senior David McCarthy (Waterford, Ireland) will be running in the famed Wanamaker Mile Saturday, February 11, at the Millrose Games in New York City.
<br>
<br>
A live broadcast of the race, which starts at 9:49 p.m at the Armory., can be seen on the web at http://live.flocasts.org/millrose-live.html. Fans are encouraged to visit the site at least a few minutes before race-time.
<br>
<br>
The Millrose Games are one of the most respected track and field competitions in the world. Athletes must be invited to the event, which originated in 1908. The centerpiece of the Games is the Wanamaker Mile, perhaps the most prestigious mile-run in the sport
of track and field. <br>
<br>
It is the latest accomplishment in what has been a remarkable indoor season for McCarthy. On January 22, he cruised to victory in the 3000-meters at the GBTC Invitational at Harvard. His time of 7:56.76 was the fastest in the nation at the time. The next week,
at Boston University’s Terrier Invitational, McCarthy broke the New England Collegiate and the Providence College records with a blazing 3:55.75 in the mile run. Again, his clocking was the best in the nation.
<br>
<br>
McCarthy is the first Friar to take part in the race as a student-athlete. Former Providence great Mark Carroll ’95 won the Wanamaker as a professional in 1999.
