CHULA VISTA - The next stop on the Journey To Gold Tokyo Series is the USATF Chula Vista Field Festival tomorrow, Saturday, May 29. Competition will be streamed live starting at 3:00 p.m. ET on USATF.TV+ with four dedicated live feeds for throws, women’s jumps, men’s jumps, and the fourth feed will highlight all competition with commentary from Paul Swangard and Olympic gold medalist Dan O’Brien. World-leading Rudy Winkler will again lead a strong hammer field that includes three of the top four Americans this year. Winkler has a best of 81.98m/268-11, set in winning the USATF Grand Prix at Eugene, while Sean Donnelly improved his lifetime best to 79.27m/260-1 at the USATF Throws Festival in Tucson last week and sits at No. 2 on the U.S. list. Alex Young also nabbed a PR at Tucson and is fourth on the list with a best of 77.07m/252-10. One of the most decorated women’s long jumpers in history, Brittney Reese has a best of 6.80m/22-3.75 in 2021 but will need to be in 7m+ form to challenge Chantel Malone of the British Virgin Islands. Malone soared a lifetime best 7.08m/23-2.75 at Miramar, Florida, in March and is second on this year’s world list. Malaina Payton has added four inches to her PR already this season and has a best of 6.81m/22-4.25, and reigning Olympic champion Tianna Bartoletta is also slated to compete. Men’s Olympic long jump champion Jeff Henderson has only competed once in his specialty this year, but brings a lifetime best of 8.52m/27-11.5. Marquis Dendy is not far behind him when comparing PRs and the 2016 World Indoor champ went 8.21m/26-11.25 indoors earlier this year. Better known as one of the top triple jumpers in American history, Will Claye is also a gifted long jumper and has an Olympic bronze from 2012 in the event. Speaking of Claye and the triple jump, he is doing double duty here and will be the center of attention as the No. 2 man on the U.S. all-time list with a best of 18.14m/59-6.25 that he set in 2019 at Long Beach. Claye has won four Olympic and world outdoor silvers in the triple jump and is always a threat to the world record. Chris Benard shares the U.S lead with Claye in 2021 at 17.15m/56-3.25, and that pair is followed on the national list by Chris Carter and Donald Scott, who are both entered. American indoor record holder Tori Franklin is a clear favorite in the women’s triple jump, sporting a best of 14.84m/48-8.25 from 2018. Lynnika Pitts had a big improvement in her PR at the USATF Golden Games at Mt. SAC, spanning 14.07m/46-2. International competition will come from former Florida jumper Yanis David of France, an SEC champion with a best of 14.35m/47-1. Headed by eight-time U.S. champion and list leader Vashti Cunningham, the women’s high jump has four of this year’s top five Americans facing off. Cunningham won at Tucson last week and has cleared 2.00m/6-6.75 three times in her life. Jelena Rowe and Rachel McCoy both recently achieved the Tokyo qualifying standard of 1.96m/6-5, with Rowe second behind Cunningham at Tucson and McCoy winning at the weather-shortened USATF Invitational in Prairie View, Texas, Tuesday. Men’s high jumper Bryan McBride has competed sparingly over the past two years in this event, but he set his lifetime best of 2.35m/7-8.5 at Chula Vista in 2018. Vashti’s brother, Randall Cunningham, is on the comeback trail after a horrific injury while winning the 2018 NCAA Indoor title, and Tyler Arroyo has improved to 2.28m/7-5.75 this season. Canada’s Django Lovett is the top non-American with a best of 2.29m/7-6 this season. All three American men who have surpassed 80m this year are scheduled to compete in the javelin. Curtis Thompson leads the U.S. list in 2021 with a best of 81.44m/267-2, set at Tucson last week, and Michael Shuey and Riley Dolezal will make this a good preview of the Olympic Trials. Last week’s USATF Throws Festival winner, Maggie Malone, notched another lifetime best there at 63.81m/209-4 and is just short of the Tokyo standard in the women’s javelin. Rachel Dincoff has raised her lifetime best in the women’s discus to 64.41m/211-4, and 2016 Olympian Kelsey Card is not far off her best with a 63.18m/207-3 in 2021. Nigeria’s Chioma Onyekwere, who competed collegiately at Maryland, threw her PR of 63.30m207-8 at Chula Vista last month.
