The premier indoor mile race in the United States is the Wanamaker Mile, held each year since 1926 at the Millrose Games in New York. Six different Villanovans have won that race a total of 22 times:
Eamonn Coghlan (7): 1977, 1979, 1980, 1981, 1985, 1985, 1987
Marcus O'Sullivan (6): 1986, 1988, 1989, 1990, 1992, 1996

Marty Liquori (3): 1969, 1970, 1971
Dick Buerkle (1): 1978

During the 1977-1992 stretch, Villanova runners won the race an astonishing 13 of 16 years. The photo above shows Marcus O'Sullivan winning the 1989 mile in 3:54.27.
