NEW YORK CITY — Entertaining a sell-out crowd, some of America's top track and field stars completed their final preparations for the Toyota USATF Outdoor Championships in two weeks with stellar performances at the USATF NYC Grand Prix at Icahn Stadium on Randalls Island. Flying fashionista Noah Lyles demolished the men's 200m field in the final race on the track, zipping to a 19.83 to win by almost a half-second. Already the world leader with a 19.67, Lyles' sub-20 clocking was his 34th career outing under that barrier, tying him with Usain Bolt for the most ever. Lyles blew through the curve in 10.35 and had a .11 lead at the halfway point, and he covered the final 100m in 9.48. Recent Florida high school star Issam Asinga of Suriname was second in 20.25. Running a much more conservative first 200m in the women's 400m than she did in her season-opener at Paris two weeks ago, Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone moved away from Gabby Thomas over the final 100m to win in a personal best of 49.51, with Thomas second in 50.29. McLaughlin-Levrone went through 200m in 22.66 at Paris on the way to a 49.71 PB but hit that mark in 23.74 here and had more left at the end. Thomas had a marginal lead through the halfway point in 23.71 before McLaughlin-Levrone used a 12.34 third 100m to take a lead she wouldn't relinquish. American record holder Keni Harrison was out very quickly in the women's 100m hurdles, running even with Jamaica's 2015 world champion Danielle Williams through the first half of the race, and she held on to outlean Alaysha Johnson in 12.29w (2.8), the sixth-fastest time ever by an American in any conditions. Johnson's 12.30w in second tied her for the No. 9 all-conditions U.S. time ever, with Williams claiming third in 12.33w. Out like a rocket as is his wont, Daniel Roberts held a one-stride lead in the men's 110m hurdles until last year's winner, Devon Allen, came up on him with three hurdles remaining. Roberts, the reigning U.S. champion, outleaned Allen to win in 13.01, the third fastest time in the world this year, with Allen second in a season best 13.04, the fourth fastest time in the world in 2023. Running in her first race since winning World Championships gold at Eugene last July 24, Athing Mu was at the front of a large pack through the bell in 59.57. She bided her time down the final backstretch, passing 600m in 1:30.09, but then opened up with 150m to go and ran away with the win in 1:58.73. Sage Hurta-Klecker was second in 2:00.77, .03 ahead of Allie Wilson. A solid early pace in the men's 1,500m set by master rabbit Erik Sowinski had Germany's Sam Parsons leading the pack through 800m in 1:56.56 with Eric Holt on his shoulder and just a couple tenths behind. Holt made a strong move with 320m to go and passed Parsons, going through 1,200m in 2:56.71, and he stretched his lead over the final half-lap to win in 3:37.07. Craig Engels held off a fast-closing Henry Wynne to claim second in 3:38.15, .2 ahead of Wynne. Powering out of the blocks as befits the American record holder in the 60m, Aleia Hobbs was at or near the front until there were just steps left in the women's 100m, easing ahead in the final meters to clearly win in 10.98 and remain undefeated in finals this year. Jamaica's Briana Williams placed second in 11.04, and last year's U.S. champion, Melissa Jefferson, was third in a season best 11.06, the same time as Morolake Akinosun in fourth. In fourth place coming off the turn in the women's 200m, U.S. champion Abby Steiner powered away from the field over the final 50m to win in a season best 22.19. Tamara Clark came through for second in 22.43, with early leader Jenna Prandini third in 22.51. Holding a lead of almost a half-second through the bell in the men's 800m in 51.38, Bryce Hoppel showed he is ready to defend his U.S. title, clocking a season best 1:44.55 to win over Isaiah Harris, who had a season best of 1:45.11 in second, and Hobbs Kessler, who set a lifetime best of 1:45.80 for third. Britain's Zharnel Hughes stunned a strong men's 100m field, powering past Jamaica's Ackeem Blake and Christian Coleman midway through the race to set a national record of 9.83, the fastest time in the world this year. Blake, who edged Coleman for the win at the USATF Los Angeles Grand Prix, took second in 9.93, with Coleman third in 10.02. Turning on the jets down the final straight, Jamaica's Zandrion Barnes won the men's 400m in 45.05. Georgia's Matthew Boling, better known as a 100m/200m man, set an outdoor personal best of 45.58 in second in his first outdoor open 400m since 2021. A close men's shot put saw Payton Otterdahl take the lead in round three with a 21.50m/70-6.5, a few inches ahead of Nigeria's Chuk Enekwechi, who threw 21.43m/70-3.75 in the same round. Those two didn't improve in the final three rounds and finished in that order, with Darrell Hill going to third in round five with a 21.39m/70-2.25. Yearly world leader Maggie Ewen won the women's shot on her third-round effort of 19.68m/64-6.75. Jamaica's Danniel Thomas-Dodd was second and world champion Chase Ealey placed third at 19.25m/63-2. As expected, Vashti Cunningham dominated the women's high jump, clearing 1.95m/6-4.75 on her second attempt. In the women's triple jump, Dominica's Thea LaFond bounded a wind-aided 14.47m/47-5.75 in round four to seal the win over U.S. champion and American record holder Keturah Orji, who was second with a best of 14.30/46-11 on her first attempt. Putting away the competition with her first throw in the women's discus, 2019 world champion Yaime Perez won at 67.44/221-3, a season best. Veronica Fraley, who repped Team USATF at last year's World Championships, was second with a lifetime best of 63.51m/208-4. Jamaica's Traves Smikle won the men's discus at 65.36m/214-5. Rainy conditions early in the day muted some field event results, hampering the hammer throwers and putting a cap on javelin performances. American record holder Rudy Winkler came away with the men's hammer win at 78.70m/258-2 ahead of a season best from reigning U.S. champion Daniel Haugh, and Annette Echikunwoke won the women's event on the basis of a better second effort as she and Jillian Shippee both threw 71.11m/233-3. Ethan Shalaway topped the men's javelin field with a best of 77.06m/252-10 and former American record holder Maggie Malone won the women's javelin at 56.24m/182-6. Donald Thomas of the Bahamas won the men's high jump with a 2.27m/7-5.25 at age 38, with Shelby McEwen second at 2.24m/7-4.25. A full list of results can be found here.
