INDIANAPOLIS — Ten individual gold medalists from last year's World Athletics Championships headline entries for the Toyota USATF Outdoor Championships, scheduled for July 6-9 at Hayward Field on the campus of the University of Oregon in Eugene. The 2022 edition in Eugene was the first outdoor World Championships hosted by the United States, and it produced the greatest Team USA effort ever at a World Championships as USA won 33 total medals, 13 of them gold. Led by world record holders Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone and Ryan Crouser, 27 individual medalists return to America's premier athletics stadium in search of berths on Team USATF for the 2023 World Athletics Championships, to be held August 19-27 in Budapest, Hungary. The meet also serves as a selection event for the 2023 NACAC U23 Championships in Costa Rica and the Thorpe Cup combined events meet in Marburg, Germany this summer, as well as the Pan American Games in Chile in the fall. McLaughlin-Levrone, who smashed her own world record in the 400m hurdles last July with a stunning 50.68, will contest the 400m without barriers here, opting for the flat 400m since she has a bye into the World Championships in the hurdles as defending champion. In her two outings over the distance this season, McLaughlin-Levrone has twice lowered her personal best and is the No. 2 entry at 49.51. Local favorite Crouser, who hails from Gresham in the Portland area and graduated from Barlow High School there, is the reigning Olympic and world champion and has been on a tear over the past three seasons. He broke his own world record in the shot put in May at the USATF Los Angeles GP with a 23.56m/77-3.75 that made him the first man ever to surpass 77-feet. Fred Kerley and Noah Lyles led U.S. sweeps of the men's 100m and 200m medals at the World Championships, respectively, but they will flip-flop events here with Kerley contesting the 200m and Lyles the 100m. Kerley is undefeated this season and has a 200m best of 19.92 that won the Doha Diamond League meet in May. He also has a pair of Diamond League dash wins, taking the 100m at Rabat and Florence. Lyles, who set an American record of 19.31 to win the world title at 200m, won the Paris Diamond League 100m and has five sub-10 second clockings so far in 2023, three of them wind-aided. At last year's World Championships, American women won medals in all four throwing events for the first time in World Championships history, led by golds in the shot put by Chase Ealey and the hammer by Brooke Andersen, and they return along with discus bronze medalist, American record holder and Olympic champion Valarie Allman. Two-time world 110m hurdles champion Grant Holloway and women's pole vault world champion Katie Moon are entered in their specialties, while women's 800m champion and American record holder Athing Mu is in the 1,500m. Michael Norman, who won 400m gold last year, is slated to run the 100m and 200m. For the sixth time in meet history and the second year in a row, the USATF U20 Championships will be held in Eugene. Athletes ages 19 and under will contend for national titles and berths on Team USA for the Pan American U20 Championships at Mayaguez, Puerto Rico, on August 4-6. Four reigning U.S. U20 champions are scheduled to compete. Last year's women's 100m champion Shawnti Jackson, the bronze medalist at the 2022 World U20 Championships in Cali, Colombia, set a national high school record of 10.89 at Nashville on June 3, but will run only the 200m here. Women's triple jump winner Suzan Ogunleye is also back, and both 10,000m race walk champions return with the men's gold medalist, Ryan Allen, and women's winner Angelica Harris.
