Christian Coleman and Aleia Hobbs top some of the big names in the men and women's 100m listed to compete at the NYC Grand Prix.

Christian Coleman and Aleia Hobbs are part of a strong 100m list entered for the New York City Grand Prix on Saturday, June 24th.

Coleman will aim to improve on his Season's Best mark of 9.91s when he lines up against a respectable field of Ackeem Blake, Michael Norman, Zharnel Hughes, Kenny Bednarek, Kadrian Goldson, Brandon Carnes, Kendal Williams, and Demek Kemp.

The two-time world champion last race was at the Racers Grand Prix, where he won convincingly, stopping the clock at 10.03s.

With the US Championships in a few weeks, Coleman will be gunning for another vital win as he fine-tunes his preparations for a spot on the World Championships US team.

Consequently, Hobbs will be back in action aiming to improve on her SB of 10.86s. She clocked the 60m American Record indoors and tipped as one of the favourites for the US and World titles.

However, at the NYC Grand Prix, Hobbs will face strong competitors in Mikiah Brisco, Morolake Akinosun, Melissa Jefferson, Gabby Thomas, Briana Williams, Celera Barnes, and Kiara Parker, who are also capable of a famous win.
