Olympic champions Noah Lyles, Julien Alfred and Grant Holloway are set to headline the New Balance Indoor Grand Prix – a World Athletics Indoor Tour Gold meeting – in Boston on 2 February 2025.
Lyles is returning to defend his crown, having achieved his third consecutive victory in Boston last year in a PB of 6.44. He went on to reduce his PB to 6.43, then earned 60m silver at the World Indoor Championships. The peak of his outdoor season, meanwhile, was his 9.79 triumph over 100m at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
Two-time world indoor champion Grant Holloway will also be vying for a fourth consecutive win in Boston. The world and Olympic 110m hurdles champion owns eight of the nine fastest times ever recorded in the 60m hurdles, topped by his world indoor record of 7.27 set earlier this year.
Olympic 100m champion Julien Alfred will be making her New Balance Indoor Grand Prix debut. Before winning the Olympic 100m title in Paris, the sprinter from St Lucia also struck gold over 60m at the World Indoor Championships in Glasgow earlier this year.
Elsewhere, Britain’s 2022 world champion Jake Wightman leads the men’s 1500m field, while six-time NCAA champion Parker Valby will make her professional racing debut in the women’s 3000m.
