Edward Cheserek ran the fastest indoor mile in the world in 2018. On Saturday, the former Duck will be up against Yomif Kejelcha, who will be attempting to run the fastest indoor mile ever.

Cheserek is among a loaded field entered in the men’s Wanamaker Mile during the 112th Millrose Games at The Armory in New York, which is expected to include a world-record attempt by Kejelcha, the 21-year-old Ethiopian who is a member of Portland’s Oregon Nike Project.

Kejelcha, a two-time world indoor champion in the 3,000, set his personal record in the mile a month ago at the UW Preview meet when he ran 3:52.61.

The world record of 3:48.45 is held by Hicham El Guerrouj.

Cheserek owns the fastest PR in the field at 3:49.44. He’ll be surrounded by some familiar faces in the race, as former Oregon teammates Sam Prakel and Johnny Gregorek are also entered, as is Nike Oregon Project members Clayton Murphy and Craig Engels.

In other notable events at the Millrose Games, former Ducks Devon Allen and Jonathan Cabral are entered in the 60 hurdles. Allen comes in as the defending champ.

In the women’s 60, former Oregon standouts English Gardner and Deajah Stevens are making their season debuts, as is former Duck Marcus Chambers in the men’s 400.

Raevyn Rogers is entered in the women’s 800 and in the women’s Wanamaker Mile, Colleen Quigley and Kate Grace of Portland’s Bowerman Track Club are back after a thrilling 1-2 finish, respectively, last year.

The meet will be aired on NBC starting at 1:30 p.m.
