The women’s team will be represented with elite talent, such as Alaysha Johnson, who was one of the best women’s 100m hurdlers in the world this season. This year’s world championship bronze medalist in the women’s hammer throw, DeAnna Price will lead Team USA in the event, alongside Brooke Andersen, who won the women’s hammer throw at the 2022 World Championships in Oregon. Emily Infield and Taylor Werner will represent Team USA in the women’s 5000m.

I’m a sports journalist based in Florida and I’ve covered a couple of different sports so far early on in my career, but I love the sport of track and field and the art of running. Everyone has a story and everyone has a story worth telling. My prayer is that the stories of the great athletes of this sport are told, and that the sport grows to new creative heights, so that the sport gets the respect it deserves.
