Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone, Noah Lyles and more Americans are bringing their final preparations for the U.S. Olympic Trials to the USA Track and Field Grand Prix of New York City this week.
NBC, NBCSports.com, the NBC Sports app and Peacock air live meets coverage Sundays at 2pm ET.
Trials are June 23-30 in Eugene, Oregon. In most events, the top three at trials make the team for the Paris Games.
McLaughlin-Levrone is the Tokyo Olympic gold medalist and world record holder in the 400 meter hurdles. She will race the flat 400 meters in New York City, but is not expected to contest that event at trials.
Lyles will race his signature event in New York City for the first time this season: the 200 meters.
Participation lists are here. Five events to watch:
Women’s Long Jump – 1:45 PM ET
A preview of the Olympic Trials featuring the top four Americans of 2023: world silver medalist Tara Davis-Woodhall, Jasmine Moore, Quanesha Burks and Monae’ Nichols. Davis-Woodhall has the world’s best indoor and outdoor jumps in 2024.
Women’s 100m Hurdles – 2:12 PM ET
On the field are the reigning outdoor world champion (Jamaican Danielle Williams), reigning indoor world champion (Bahamian Devynne Charlton) and the world record holder (Nigerian Tobi Amusan). Plus three of the four fastest Americans from 2023 – Tokyo Olympic silver medalist Keni Harrison, Masai Russell and Alaysha Johnson – plus the fastest American this year – Tonea Marshall.
Men’s 110m Hurdles – 2:21 PM ET
Three notable Americans are here: 2022 world silver medalist Trey Cunningham, 2023 bronze medalist Daniel Roberts and Cordell Tinch, who posted the fastest time by an American in 2023. Also intriguing: Jamaican Rasheed Broadbell is set for his second race in the 110-meter hurdles since crashing out of last August’s world championships. Broadbell had the world’s fastest time of 2023 when he entered the world.
Women’s 400m — 3:03 PM ET
Last year, McLaughlin-Levrone dropped the hurdles on the flat 400 meters and posted the world’s fastest time of the season (48.74). She missed the world championships due to a small PCL tear in her left knee that led to patella problems. This field also includes Tokyo Olympic Trials winner Quanera Hayes, plus Talitha Diggs and Kendall Ellis, who won a one-two at the 2022 USATF Outdoor Championships.
Men’s 200m — 3:22 PM ET
Lyles is undefeated in the 200 meters since taking bronze at the Tokyo Olympics. This field also includes Joseph Fahnbulleh from Liberia, who finished fifth in Tokyo. The focus may ultimately be on the clock. If Lyles wants to enter this year’s Olympic Trials as the fastest American, he must beat Olympic silver medalist Kenny Bednarek’s time of 19.67 starting May 10.
