Olympic bronze medalist at 1500m Nick Willis will be amongst the headliners at February's Reebok Boston Indoor Games, organizers announced today.  Willis, 25, will run the mile at the Boston meet, which is scheduled for Saturday, February 7.

Willis was hailed as a national hero after he brought home the first Olympic track and field medal to New Zealand in 32 years.  He holds national records at both 1500m (3:32.17) and 3000m indoors (7:44.90).  He set the latter mark at the Reebok Boston Indoor Games in 2004 when he was running in the NCAA ranks for the University of Michigan.  Willis still maintains a home in Ann Arbor and trains under Michigan coach Ron Warhurst.

Meet organizers also announced Olympic pole vault medalists, Steve Hooker of Australia and Jenn Stuczynski of the United States.
