Andy Baddeley and Alan Webb will not compete in the New Balance Games invitational mile as anticipated, according to Ian Brooks who recruited the field.  "Andy Baddeley has a sore hamstring, so he won't be here," said Brooks, who also serves as the Armory's floor announcer.  Brooks also said that Alan Webb had wanted to compete, but will instead delay the opening of his indoor season to Feb. 5, at the New Balance Indoor Grand Prix in Boston where he will run the mile.  The race has no clear favorite, Brooks said.  The leading contenders are Britain's Ricky Stevenson (3:56.31i PB), Mark Draper (3:56.80i), and Lee Emanuel (3:57.62i); Canada's Taylor Milne (3:56.54) and Kyle Boorsma (3:59.67); and the United States' Rob Myers (3:53.78), Garrett Heath (3:57.34i), Darren Brown (3:58.35), and Craig Miller (3:59.09i).  The event record is 3:54.98 set by Irishman Mark Carroll in 2000.
