New Balance Indoor Grand Prix: Olympians headline competitive field

Lyles will compete in Heat 1 of the preliminary 60-meter race, which also features 2016 world indoor champion Trayvon Bromell (United States), world 100-meter bronze medalist Zharnel Hughes (Great Britain), and 2022 world indoor champion Marcell Jacobs (Italy).

A host of other Olympic gold medalists will compete Sunday, including women’s 100-meter champion Julien Alfred of St. Lucia; 400-meter hurdles champion Rai Benjamin of the United States; and 100-meter hurdles champions Masai Russell and Grant Holloway, both Americans.

Russell will face off against world indoor record-holder Devynne Charlton of the Bahamas in the 60-meter hurdles at 4:34 p.m.

The penultimate event, the women’s 3,000 meters, is scheduled for 5:39 p.m. and will be a showdown between Olympic medalists, as Australia’s Jessica Hull and Great Britain’s Georgia Bell will face off after finishing second and third, respectively, in the 1,500 meters at the Paris Olympics.

That race will also feature Americans Parker Valby, Emily Mackay, Emma Coburn, and Elise Cranny, plus Ethiopia’s Melknat Wudu and Italy’s Sintayehu Vissa.

Now in its 30th year, the Indoor Grand Prix was held at Roxbury’s Reggie Lewis Center until 2023, when it relocated to The Track at New Balance. The facility, which opened in 2022, seats 5,000 and features a 200-meter hydraulically banked track.

The event is part of the World Athletics Indoor Tour, which comprises some of the top indoor track and field competitions around the world. Overall tour winners receive $10,000 and a guaranteed spot at the 2025 World Athletics Indoor Championships in Nanjing, China, in March.
