On the distance side, the Ugandan duo of Tokyo Olympic 5,000m gold medalist Joshua Cheptegei and two-time reigning world cross country champion Jacob Kiplimo are set to line up against defending Tokyo Olympic 10,000m gold medalist Selemon Barega (Ethiopia) and 2024 indoor world 1500m silver medalist Cole Hocker in the 5,000m, while 2016 Rio Olympic 1500m gold medalist Matthew Centrowitz, competing in his final outdoor season, is in the 1500m.
Saturday’s meet will also feature three-time Olympic medalist Dalilah Muhammad, two-time Olympic shot put silver medalist Joe Kovacs, Tokyo Olympic pole vault silver medalist Chris Nilsen, 2016 Rio Olympic pole vault silver medalist Sandi Morris, and more.
