With the 2024 World Indoor Championships less than 10 days away, USATF has announced the confirmed 57-member squad that will sport the American flag in Glasgow. Team USA has shaped up to be incredibly strong, featuring multiple Olympic medalists, and defending champions.
Spearheading the American challenge will be the likes of Noah Lyles, Christian Coleman, Ryan Crouser, Katie Moon, and Grant Holloway.
Lyles is already the World Champion in the outdoor 100 and 200m and will be looking to win the 60m sprint at his first-ever World Indoor Championships. Pushing Lyles all the way will be Coleman, the defending World Champion and current world record holder in the event.
Ryan Crouser and Katie Moon are the reigning (outdoor) World and Olympic champions in the shot put and pole vault respectively. However, neither of them has struck gold at an indoor championship, and will be looking to rectify that this time around.
Grant Holloway will be gunning for gold in the 60m hurdles, an event in which he hasn't lost a single stage in a decade. Additionally, Holloway set a new world record for the event just days ago at the USATF Indoor Championships, putting him in good form ahead of Glasgow.
Elsewhere, pole vaulter Sandi Morris will be looking to defend her 2022 Belgrade title and make it to a third consecutive gold at the World Indoor Championships.
Belgrade’s relay gold-medalists Chris Bailey, Trevor Bassitt, and Matthew Boling, will be making a reappearance in the event and will be joined by Paul Dedewo and Wil London.
