USA Track & Field has announced a full team of 28 set to represent Team USA May 4-5 at the World Athletics Relays Bahamas 24. Serving as the qualifying event for the Olympic Games Paris 2024, the relays are Team USA’s first step to securing hardware in five events at this summer’s Games. Four women who helped Team USATF to gold in the 4x100 at Budapest last summer will lead the sprint relay quartet, with Gabby Thomas and Tamari Davis returning from the World Championships final, and Tamara Clark and Melissa Jefferson from the heats. Triple world sprint champion Noah Lyles anchored the U.S. to gold in the men's 4x100 in Budapest and tops the men's roster. Lyles, who won 100 and 200 titles before the relay gold, will be joined by Tokyo Olympic 200 silver medalist Kenny Bednarek, along with the world's fastest man at 200 this year, Courtney Lindsey. Reigning mixed 4x400 world champions Alexis Holmes, Matthew Boling and Ryan Willie are joined in the longer relay pool by Olympic and world 4x400 gold medalist Bryce Deadmon and Chris Bailey, who earned gold in the heats of the men's 4x400 at Budapest. Champion Allison brought the baton home for gold at the 2022 World Championships in Eugene. Quanera Hayes has a gold and two silvers from indoor and outdoor World Championships 4x400 competition, while Lynna Irby-Jackson and Kendall Ellis were atop the podium at the Tokyo Games after running in the women's heats. The top 14 teams at the World Athletics Relays Bahamas 24 will automatically qualify for places at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. For the first time in World Relays history, there will be repechage competition in each of the five relays contested, with teams who fail to make the final in Nassau being given another opportunity to earn Olympic qualifying status on day two of the meet. The finishing order of the top eight teams in each final at Nassau will determine the first round seeding spots for the Paris Olympic Games.
