See this year’s NYRR Millrose Games at the Armory? If so, it was the perfect preview to the 2016 Olympic Games – 60 of the NYRR Millrose Games competitors are in Rio for track and field, including 32 members of the U.S. squad.

If you watch the Games on NBC, or are fortunate enough to be in Brazil in person, you’ll already be familiar with them.

Some of the NYRR Millrose Games events were so loaded, only a handful of the entrants did NOT make it to Rio:

Women’s 60 dash – Allyson Felix (running the 400 at the Games) finished 1st, ahead of Tianna Bartoletta (100 and long jump), 2nd; Jenna Prandini (200), 3rd; Angela Tenorio of Ecuador (100/200), 4th; Flings Owusu-Agyapong of Ghana and Syracuse University, 5th; Khamica Bingham of Canada, 6th, and Ashley Kelly, who competes for the Central Park Track Club and the British Virgin Islands, 8th.

Women’s 5,000 meters – The first six finishers at the NYRR Millrose Games were Betsy Saina of Kenya followed by five Americans – Molly Huddle, Emily Infeld, Marielle Hall, Shelby Houlihan and Abbey D’Agostino, all of whom are running the 5k or 10k for the U.S. in Brazil.

Men’s NYRR Wanamaker Mile – Matthew Centrowitz won it over Nick Willis of New Zealand, Chris O’Hare of Great Britain and fellow American team member Robby Andrews.

Women’s NYRR Wanamaker Mile – American Shannon Rowbury defeated, among others, Ciara Mageean of Ireland, Dominique Scott of South Africa and Erin Teschuk of Canada.

Demonstrating the international reach of the modern NYRR Millrose Games, in all 16 national teams were represented at this year’s meet, also including China, Grenada, Jamaica, the U.S. Virgin Islands, the Cayman Islands, Greece and Trinidad & Tobago.

This past February’s NYRR Millrose Games is not the only meet at the Armory showcasing the 2016 Olympians. By our count, a remarkable 220 members of this year’s Olympic fields have competed in the century-old building in Washington Heights, at such meets as the Armory Track Invitational, the New Balance Games, and even at the Public Schools Athletic League championships. Last year’s city dash champion, 20-year-old Brenessa Thompson, who attended Medgar Evers Prep in Brooklyn, is running the 100 and 200 for Guyana.

And of course, there’s the 16-year-old hurdler Sydney McLaughlin, who has been running at the Armory since her 9th-grade season at Union Catholic High School in New Jersey. In the 400 hurdles with McLaughlin is Dalilah Muhammad, who cut her teeth on the Armory oval for Cardozo High School of Queens and later for her college alma mater, USC.

Internationally, the list includes athletes from all over the world, including the sprinter Veronica Campbell-Brown, of Jamaica; Brianna Theisen-Eaton, of Canada, and her decathlete husband, Ashton Eaton, and the pole vaulters Renaud LaVillenie, of France, and Fabiana Murer, of Brazil. In all, members of 47 different national teams in Rio have competed at the Armory the past decade.
