Other Olympic medalists expected to compete are Fred Kerley, Emma Coburn, Grant Holloway, Gabby Thomas, Dalilah Muhammad, Rai Benjamin, Courtney Frerichs, Michael Norman, Valarie Allman, and Clayton Murphy, among others.

This meet also provides a platform for rising stars to showcase their talents on a major competitive stage, such as high school phenom Erriyon Knighton, who ran the fourth-fastest 200m time in history in April, and Abby Steiner, the University of Kentucky standout who recently won the 200m and the 4x400m relay at the NCAA Outdoor Championships. Also expected to compete in this meet is two-time Olympian Devon Allen, who ran the third-fastest 110m hurdles time in history at the NYC Grand Prix in June, and Sha’Carri Richardson, the 2019 NCAA champion from LSU who became the sixth-fastest woman in history over 100m last year.
