Delaware State runners to attend Millrose Games tonight

DOVER -- Six members of Delaware State's indoor track and field team have been invited to compete in the Millrose Games tonight. DSU sprinters Larrone Moore and Lee Barnes will join women's 1,600-meter relay team members Nekisha Franklin, Cuquie Melville, Tiffany Green and Kendra Mayer in the event at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

The Millrose Games attract top collegiate track and field athletes and potential Olympians. Moore and Barnes will compete in the men's 60-meter dash. Moore has two first-place finishes this indoor season, with a best time of 6.84 seconds in the 60. Barnes ran a season-best 6.95 in the 60 in the Great Dane Classic in New York last weekend. Moore and Barnes have qualified for next month's IC4A championships in the 60-meter dash.

ESPN is scheduled to provide live coverage of some Milrose Games events.
