Sha'Carri Richardson will also be competing at the nationals as the reigning champion just like Lyles, running in the women's 100m and 200m events. She will be competing against Olympic gold medalist Gabby Thomas, as well as Melissa Jefferson-Wooden.
Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone will be competing in the 400 meters flat event instead of her usual 400m hurdles event, due to a scheduling issue with the 400m flat final and the hurdles semifinals overlapping.
Fred Kerley, Christian Coleman and Kenny Bednarek will also be competing against Lyles in the 100m and 200m events.
