WALNUT, Calif. -- Sunday's USATF Golden Games presented by Xfinity at Mt. San Antonio College's new Hilmer Lodge Stadium brings together the strongest and deepest fields of this Olympic year in many events and will offer some intriguing matchups as athletes prepare for next month's Olympic Trials in Eugene. This is the fifth stop on the Journey to Gold - Tokyo series and the second World Athletics Continental Tour Gold meet in the U.S. The USATF Golden Games presented by Xfinity will be broadcast live on Sunday, May 9, 4:30pm - 6:00 p.m. ET on NBC and Peacock Premium. In addition, USATF.TV+ will also webcast live coverage of the USATF Golden Games competition leading into the TV window from 2:00 p.m. - 4:30 p.m. ET and the USATF Golden Games Distance Open starting at 10:00 p.m. ET. As always in Southern California, speed will be on the menu, and the 100m events have more stars than there are lanes in the final. Eleven men who currently rank top 60 in the world in the latest World Athletics rankings will vie for the top 8 spots in the men’s 100m final, including Kyree King who has already been under 10 seconds this season. Recent pre-meet talk has been about the appearance of NFL player DK Metcalf, a wide receiver for the Seattle Seahawks, the story in the men’s 100m lineup is that it includes nine competitors who have dipped under the 10-second barrier in their careers. On the women’s side, 10 of Sunday’s athletes have gone sub-11 in their career, topped by 2021 world list leader Sha'Carri Richardson, who blazed a 10.72 in early April. The women’s 100 looms as an even better race/final, with 9 of the women currently being ranked in the top 38 in the World/rankings. Reigning world champion Noah Lyles and Olympic legend Allyson Felix are the top draws in the 200m, but both will face stern opposition. Felix is one of the most-decorated stars in the history of the sport and has been on a remarkable comeback trail after giving birth to her first child in late 2019. She has a lifetime best of 21.69. Felix has the edge in experience on the Mt. SAC track after winning the 150m at the Inspiration Games last July. Gabby Thomas brings a 22.17 PR that she set in winning the Texas Relays in March. Lyles is clearly the fastest man based on personal bests with a PR of 19.50 and is opening his outdoor 200m campaign. He will be up against Kenny Bednarek, who won at Miramar in April with a swift 19.65 that was heavily wind-aided. After running a windy 9.99 in the 100m last week that is the fastest ever run in any conditions by a U18 athlete, 17-year-old Erriyon Knighton may be ready to take down Usain Bolt's world U18 best of 20.13. Knighton has a best of 20.31, set last month in Florida. Lyles, ranked #1 World, is likely to face a strong challenge from Aaron Brown of Canada and Jereem Richards of TTO. Undefeated in his two 400m outings in 2021, Michael Norman is back on friendly ground as the USC product brings a best of 43.45 to take on Machel Cedenio of Trinidad, the fourth-place finisher at Rio in 2016. 2019 Pan American Games bronze medalist Justin Robinson won at Miramar and has twice run sub-45 in his career and is still only 19 years old. Norman, currently #3 World ranked, will face a stern challenge in having 7 men in the field who currently rank 24th or higher in the 400m Bryce Hoppel, who set an American indoor record for 1,000m earlier this year and has a 1:43.23 lifetime best, leads the men's 800m field. Hoppel was fourth at the World Championships and two of the men he beat in that Doha final are also entered. Canada's Marco Arop dropped a 1:44.76 world outdoor leader last weekend in Mississippi and was seventh in Doha, while Rio bronze medalist Clayton Murphy was eighth and has a PR of 1:42.93, the fastest in the field. World Championships silver medalist Raevyn Rogers is in the women's 800, where Great Britain's Laura Muir and Jemma Reekie are a talented duo who offer contrasting styles. Best known as a 1,500m runner, Muir holds a 3:59.58 indoor 1,500m this year. Reekie was the European U23 champion in 2019 for two laps and was second at Eugene last month. She has a best of 1:57.91, set indoors last year. Kaela Edwards is the only American in the field who has dipped under 2:00 this season, with a 1:59.86 in February. Elle Purrier set an American indoor record in the mile in 2020, running 4:16.85, and she is making her season debut in the women's 1,500m. Nikki Hiltz won the 2019 Pan American Games title and was a finalist in Doha, and Canadian Gabriela DeBues-Stafford was sixth in Doha and has the fastest PR in the field at 3:56.12. The men's metric mile has former Wisconsin NCAA champion Olli Hoare of Australia, who set a national indoor record of 3:32.35 earlier this year and won at Eugene in April with a 3:33.54. Craig Engels is the top U.S. entrant with a 3:34.04 best and timeless New Zealander Nick Willis set his PR of 3:29.66 at Monaco in 2015 and is still a medal contender at age 38 after taking bronze in Rio. Both steeplechase races have the American record holders entered, and both athletes are running the event for the first time in a while. Courtney Frerichs was sixth at the world championships in her last outing in 2019, and she was the silver medalist at worlds in 2017. Her AR of 9:00.95 was set at Monaco in 2018. Evan Jager hasn't made a trip over the barriers since 2018, but the 2016 Olympic bronze medalist has run faster than 8:05 on six occasions in his career and has been honing his skills at longer distances of late. Sean McGorty makes his debut in the event on the heels of setting lifetime bests in the flat 3,000m and 5,000m already in 2021. Molly Huddle has been a Team USATF member at the past five world championships in either the 5,000m or 10,000m, and she finished sixth at the longer distance at Rio in 2016. She set American records on the track at odd distances last year and is making her first serious attempt of the year at 5,000m. Lawi Lalang won seven NCAA titles for Arizona and was the bronze medalist at 10,000m in 2019 at the Pan American Games, and has the fastest PR in the men's 5,000m field at 13:00.95 from 2013. Mason Ferlic will be building on a PR of 13:25.92 he set at Austin in February, and also has a fresh steeplechase PR of 8:18.49 from Eugene three weeks ago. The women's 100m hurdles might as well be the Olympic final, given the long list of luminaries involved. World record holder Keni Harrison has run 12.48 in 2021, the best by an American, and that time has been matched by Nigeria's Tobi Amusan. Britain's sister duo of Cindy Sember and Tiffany Porter are fourth and sixth on the yearly list, respectively, while Christina Clemons is fifth. Multi-eventer Taliyah Brooks brings a 12.70 best, and Sharika Nelvis, owner of a 12.34 PR, makes her season debut. 400m hurdles Doha silver medalist Sydney McLaughlin improved her PR to 12.86 over the sprint barriers recently, and Queen Harrison has a 12.43 lifetime best. He hasn't run the 400m hurdles since claiming silver at Doha in 2019, but Rai Benjamin is always ready to roll, and he will be confident in his speed after clocking 44.97 in a flat 400m at Eugene last month. Benjamin is one of only a handful of men ever to have broken 47-seconds over the hurdles and always has Kevin Young's world record of 46.78 in his sights. Another intriguing season debut comes in the women's race as Shamier Little looks to translate her newfound flat 400m speed to a possible PR. Little has a hurdles best of 52.75 and was the silver medalist at the 2015 World Championships, but has dropped her flat PR to 49.91. Ashley Spencer is returning to the form that carried her to bronze at Rio, while Kori Carter was the 2017 world champion. Olympic champion Katerini Stefanidi of Greece heads the women's pole vault field, but Doha seventh-placer Katie Nageotte has the best PR and was the 2019 Pan American Games silver medalist. The newest member of the six-meter club, KC Lightfoot, has given up the remainder of his collegiate eligibility and faces a men's vault field that is missing only Sam Kendricks. Chris Nilsen is his top competitor with a lifetime best of 5.95m/19-6.25. They have traded the American record back and forth of late, and Keturah Orji and Tori Franklin will put on a show in the women's triple jump as they shoot for the elusive 15.00m barrier. Orji claimed the outdoor AR at Chula Vista recently with a 14.92m/48-11.5, while Franklin's best of 14.84m/48-8.25 came in 2018. Kimberley Williams of Jamaica and Thea LaFond of Dominica are also very capable competitors with solid international experience. Four-time Olympic and World Championships silver medalist Will Claye hasn't set foot on the runway since his silver at Doha two years ago. He has a towering best of 18.14m/59-6.25 that ranks him No. 2 on the all-time U.S. performer list behind only Christian Taylor. This year's U.S. list leader, Chris Benard, and five-time national champion Donald Scott are also entered and give the event a Trials preview feel. A veritable “Who's Who” of American women's shot putters will vie for top honors against World Championships silver medalist Danniel Thomas-Dodd of Jamaica. Raven Saunders, Maggie Ewen, Chase Ealey and Jessica Ramsey have all surpassed 19m and three of them are on the all-time U.S. top 10 performer list. Saunders was fifth at Rio in 2016, while Ewen was fourth and Ealey was seventh at Doha. Darrell Hill leads the men's shot put entrants with a 21.76m/71-4.75 this season and was fifth at Doha. Mt. SAC's previous stadium historically had many of the top discus marks in the world each year, so it will be interesting to see what the new layout elicits. 2017 World Championships bronze medalist Mason Finley leads the U.S. men's list this year at 66.40m/217-10 but will have a difficult task in staving off 2019 Toyota USATF champion Sam Mattis and 2018 USATF champion Reggie Jagers, as well as American Samoa's national record holder Alex Rose. Gwen Berry won the women's hammer throw at the 2019 Pan American Games and is easily the best in this field, with her top challenger, Jillian Weir of Canada, more than 15 feet behind her in a comparison of lifetime bests.
