The field for the New York Grand Prix will have plenty of talent as Olympic medalists Dalilah Muhammad, Noah Lyles and Rai Benjamin are just some of the names headlining the event.
Muhammad is the current world champion in the 400m hurdles, and added a silver medal at the Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympics, finishing just behind teammate Sydney McLaughlin.
She also was on the gold medal winning 4x400m relay team in Tokyo, and won 400m hurdles gold in Rio 2016.
Fellow world champion Lyles will also be in the field. He won world gold in the 200m and 4x100m relay in Doha 2019. He added an Olympic bronze medal to his collection last summer.
Benjamin will feature in the men’s 400m hurdles. His time of 46.17 seconds was good for Olympic silver in Tokyo, just behind Karsten Warholm’s world record time of 45.94.
The New York Grand Prix is part of the World Athletics Continental Tour Gold series, and will be held June 12 at Icahn Stadium on Randalls Island in New York.
