Some of the world’s best will line up in France for what promises to be a very entertaining indoor track meet.
Earlier this week, World Athletics announced that Katie (Nageotte) Moon, Grant Holloway and Keely Hodgkinson will be competing at the Meeting Hauts-de-France Pas-de-Calais in Lievin, France in February. The meet is one of the World Athletics Indoor Tour Gold meetings this season.
Moon, who recently got married on New Year’s Eve, took the win at the meet in Lievin back in 2019. Last season, she finished as the runner-up at last year’s USATF Indoor National Championship, and took home a silver medal at the World Athletics Indoor Championships in Belgrade. She’s the defending outdoor champion in the event as well.
Holloway is coming off of a monster outdoor season that ended up with him winning the gold medal at the World Championships in Oregon. Holloway, who owns the world record in the 60m hurdles, set the meet record in the event last year. He’s undefeated in the event for close to a decade.
Hodgkinson has the indoor 800m European title, and she holds the indoor and outdoor 800m British records. She set the national record last season with her time of 1:57.20 at the Müller Indoor Grand Prix. She took home the silver medal at last year’s World Championships in Oregon after a close battle with Athing Mu, who took home the gold medal.
The meet will take place on February 15.
