There are several big names heading into this year’s event, despite some of the athletes not needing to compete in order to qualify for the world team. Noah Lyles is planning to run the 200m sprint in a bid for a record-tying fifth U.S. men’s gold medal in the event.

BYU All-American Meghan Hunter qualified for the finals of the 800-meter run at the U.S. national track and field championships on Friday. Hunter, a former Provo High state champion and all-classes state record holder in the 400-meter dash, took the lead from the start in the first of three semifinal heats, covering the opening lap in 57.89.
