Grading Cam Myers, Yared Nuguse, Hobbs Kessler & The Top Milers At The Millrose Games
CITIUS MAG
8 days ago
19-year-old Cam Myers didn’t just win the Wanamaker Mile, the Australian made it look easy against a stacked field that featured Olympic bronze medalist, U.S. record holder and three-time champion, Yared Nuguse, and newly-minted 2000m world record holder Hobbs Kessler. The 19-year-old Myers controlled the race from the front, weathered a late charge from Kessler, and pulled away over the final 50 meters to win in 3:47.90. Nuguse took second in 3:48.31, with Kessler crossing the line third in 3:48.68. The performance continues what has been a remarkable indoor season for Myers, who appears to have taken another leap forward from his already impressive 2025 campaign. What stood out most wasn’t just the time or the win, but it was how comfortable he looked executing his race plan while everyone else jockeyed for position behind him. Kyle Merber: “The maturity that he has. It’s not like these young guys are running fast because they’re freaks of nature—which they are—but they have a completely mature grasp of the sport that normally most of us wouldn’t have gotten until we’re in our mid-20s.” The only question now is whether Myers will make the trip to the World Indoor Championships in Poland. With the Maurie Plant Meet in Australia scheduled around the same time, it creates a difficult decision for an athlete who values the home crowd Down Under. Aisha Praught-Leer: “We have to incentivize the right things. It is a world championship. Love Maurie Plant, love the meet, love the people, love Australia—everybody in Australia knows I’m your girl—but we have to prioritize the right things. If contracts, endorsements, eyeballs are all channeling to a world championship, that is what we need to focus on. Medals are life-changing.” 🎥 Watch the full post-race show here: https://youtu.be/RWcntefA9PA?si=7s5qBTu-hIefGq7T 🎧 Take it on-the-go and listen to it in podcast form here: ▶️ APPLE PODCASTS: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/2026-millrose-games-post-race-show-live-from-the/id1204506559?i=1000747628064 ▶️ SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/episode/7hnfSviJVUsg0blvf0Y0hR?si=4WdLGfq_ShKkajr0Jzbiwg __________ FOLLOW CITIUS MAG ▶ Subscribe to the podcast: https://apple.co/3Byp72I ▶ On Twitter: http://twitter.com/CitiusMag ▶ On Instagram: http://instagram.com/citiusmag ▶ On Facebook: http://facebook.com/citiusmag ▶ Support us on Patreon: https://patreon.com/citiusmag ▶ On our website: http://citiusmag.com For other inquiries, contact us: chris@citiusmag.com Thanks for watching - please like, share and comment, and subscribe!

New high school mile record-holder and future Washington Husky, Owen Powell, joins the show just days after crushing his second sub-4-minute mile in February, etching his name in history books.First, Owen ran a sizzling 3:57.74 on February 14 against collegiate runners at the Husky Classic in Washington. Then, to add to his incredible start to 2025, he blew the doors off the national high school indoor mile record (held by Hobbs Kessler) with a time of 3:56.66 at BU's Terrier DMR Challenge on February 21. The signs have been pointing toward this type of performance for a while; last season Owen was named 2023-24 Gatorade Player of the Year for the state of Washington, running a 1:48.60 in the 800m to gain national attention. Owen also won the Washington 3A State Championship in the 1,600m in 2023, and state championships in cross country and the 800m in 2024. In addition to his mile and 800m PRs, he has also run 2:24.41 in the 1,000m, 3:44.70 in the 1500m, and 8:04.83 in the 3,000m.Heading into his senior year he had an impressive 3.68 GPA in the classroom. Outside of school, Owen is an avid mountain biker and rock climber, while also volunteering locally as a youth track coach.In today's conversation, Owen takes me through his remarkable week of performances, his mindset leading into this outdoor season, and his thoughts on Webb's record, what his training looks like, and so much more.

On today’s show, we have a lot to talk about. Josh Hoey just ran 1:43.24 for 800 meters—indoors. That’s the second-fastest time ever run indoors, behind only Wilson Kipketer. We’ll break down what this means for the American 800m scene, how he’s addressed skepticism that inevitably comes with a performance like this and whether Hoey is suddenly a legitimate outdoor medal contender.
Hobbs Kessler doubled at USAs, taking both the 3000m and 1500m titles like it was just another weekend at the track. We’ll talk about what impressed us the most about Kessler's double, how the men’s middle distances are shaping up for 2025 and why it was OK for Cooper Teare and Cole Hocker to skip out.
And then there’s the "rivalry" that was quickly dispelled by the athletes – Nikki Hiltz vs. Shelby Houlihan. Just a few years ago, Houlihan was untouchable. Then came the four-year ban, and now, she’s back—and already battling for the top spot. In the 3000m, Houlihan got to the front, squeezed the pace, and dared anyone to come with her. And Nikki Hiltz? They came with her. And then passed her. In the final strides of the women’s 3000m, Hiltz outkicked Houlihan, officially stamping themselves as America’s best championship racer in the middle distances.
Plus, we’ll get into the results of the sprints and why the 2025 World Indoor Championships in Nanjing might be one of the weirdest global meets we’ve ever seen—between withdrawals, travel logistics, and a US team that’s missing some of its biggest stars.
