Caster Semenya puts her two-year winning streak in the 800m on the line against her closest rivals, including the fastest American ever in the event, Ajee’ Wilson.
The world’s fastest women face off in the 100m, pitting Olympic gold medalist Elaine Thompson of Jamaica against world champion Tori Bowie of Mississippi.
U.S. Olympic champions dot Saturday’s schedule, including Christian Taylor (triple jump), Jenn Suhr (pole vault), Dalilah Muhammad (400m hurdles), Ryan Crouser (shot put), Aries Merritt (110m hurdles) and Matthew Centrowitz (Bowerman Mile).
