NEW YORK — The Armory has several new events during the 2017 fall season at The Armory. Here is one of them.
Dalilah Muhammad, the 2016 Olympic Gold Medalist in the 400m Hurdles, will join the staff for inaugural Armory Indoor Track & Field Camp to take place Saturday, November 18 at The Armory in Washington Heights.
The camp is for high school aged athletes in grades 9-12 (minimum age of 14). They can register by clicking here: Armory Indoor Camp. The camp will be on the famed Armory Track where student-athletes will benefit from interaction with track & field’s premier instructors.

Muhammad is a graduate of Benjamin N. Cardozo High School in Queens, NY and is a NYC native.
