Track and field fans across the country will soon get the opportunity to watch some of the best athletes in the world in action.
On Thursday, USATF announced the four indoor meets and 10 outdoor meets that will take place across the United States this season. Most notably, the Prefontaine Classic in Eugene, Oregon, will also serve as the Diamond League Final.
USATF also announced the introduction of the Grand Prix series, which they hope will shine a spotlight on USATF athletes, brand, sport, and culture globally, according to the official press release.
“We are looking forward to outstanding competitions in the 2023 season, both indoors and outdoors,” said USATF CEO Max Siegel. “Our athletes continue to raise the bar for athletic excellence at home and abroad. We must continue finding innovative ways to help them prepare through competition and providing competitive opportunities closer to home is a major game-changer. Hosting events in large U.S. sports markets is important to the continued growth of track and field and important to building and inspiring a loyal fanbase.”
