The excitement around the Grand Slam Track (GST) series continues to build as six more elite athletes have been officially added to the Miami lineup, promising fans a night of thrilling performances and championship-caliber clashes. Organizers today revealed a fresh wave of world-renowned competitors who will now join an already star-studded cast of 48 racers for the Miami leg of the series.

Headlining the new additions is Anna Hall, the 2023 World Championships silver medalist in the heptathlon, who will take on the women’s long hurdles. Known for her fierce competitiveness and incredible range, Hall brings multi-event strength and elite hurdling form to the GST stage.

Joining her in the women’s division is Amber Anning, fresh off her gold medal at the 2025 World Indoor Championships in the 400m. Anning, representing Great Britain, will compete in the women’s long sprints, adding depth and speed to an already explosive field.

Also set to light up the track is Kendra Harrison, the American record holder and 2020 Olympic silver medalist in the 100m hurdles. Harrison’s addition to the women’s short hurdles lineup will add star power and drama to one of track and field’s most technical events.

Rising middle-distance star Claudia Hollingsworth, the 2024 U20 World Championships silver medalist, will line up in the women’s short-distance event, bringing youthful momentum and world-class talent to the 800m.

On the men’s side, Andre De Grasse, the 2020 Olympic 200m champion, returns to the spotlight in the men’s short sprints, looking to prove once again why he’s one of the most consistent sprinters of his generation.

Rounding out the new challengers is Timothy Cheruiyot, the 2020 Olympic silver medalist in the 1500m, who will line up in the men’s short-distance event. Cheruiyot’s presence brings prestige and tactical brilliance to the middle-distance lineup.

These six new names will now battle for points, prize money, and global bragging rights in Miami, joining an already-stacked roster that includes Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone, Gabby Thomas, Kenny Bednarek, Fred Kerley, Oblique Seville, Roshawn Clarke, Rushell Clayton, Marileidy Paulino, and many more of the sport’s biggest stars.

With Olympic champions, World medalists, and rising stars converging in one city, the Miami leg of Grand Slam Track promises to deliver non-stop action, storylines, and unforgettable moments.
