Two reigning World Champions, shot putter Reese Hoffa (Pictured) and pole vaulter Brad Walker, will return to Madison Square Garden on Feb. 1 to compete in the 101st Millrose Games, organizers announced today. Both were ranked #1 in the world for 2007 by Track & Field News magazine.
Hoffa, a longtime Millrose Games and New York favorite, is coming off the best year of his career, winning world titles both indoors and outdoors in 2007 and notching the two longest throws of the year. Walker, the defending Millrose pole vault champ, is also the 2006 World Indoor Champion and a silver medalist from the 2005 World Championships.
Joining Hoffa will be the #2 and #3 shot putters in the world: 2005 World Champion Adam Nelson, a two-time Olympic silver medalist and three-time World Championships silver medalist, and Christian Cantwell, the 2004 World Indoor Champion who last year set a Millrose Games record with his victory here.

The following is a quick rundown of some of the notable favorites set to race this this weekend amidst the iconic settings of Eugene:
Sanya Richards, the 21 year old, 400 meter specialist from the University of Texas. Richards has quickly developed into one of America’s best, young sprinters; lighting up the track and burning the competition on a regular basis. Last year, she went undefeated in outdoor 400m races, set the five fastest times in the world, and broke the American record with her time of 48.70 seconds at the IAAF World Cup in Athens. Her mark at the World Cup is also the seventh best on the the all-time, world list.
