A beloved event in the world of track and field, the USATF Indoor Championships will return to Staten Island for a weekend of intense competition.

This national championship will also serve as a selection event for the upcoming World Indoor Championships in Kujawy Pomorze, Poland, meaning the stakes are even higher. Three-time Olympic medalist and eight-time world champion Noah Lyles will headline the men's field, looking for his second 60m national indoor title.

Sunday's 1500m will feature top global athletes on both the men's and women's sides, like Cole Hocker, Yared Nuguse, Elle St. Pierre and Nikki Hiltz. Hocker and St. Pierre have both broken records in the field as of late, with Hocker in the indoor mile and St. Pierre the indoor 1500m earlier this month.

Be sure to tune in for this highly-anticipated competition.
