Boston, Mass. (Jan. 9, 2024) – Fred Kerley, the 2022 World Champion at 100m, and Lamecha Girma, the world record-holder in the 3000m steeplechase, are set to make their New Balance Indoor Grand Prix debuts on Sunday, Feb. 4, organizers announced today.

Tickets for the event at the TRACK at new balance on Feb. 4, which forms part of the World Athletics Indoor Tour Gold, are now on sale at www.nbindoorgrandprix.com or by calling 1-877-849-8722.

One of the most versatile sprinters racing today, Fred Kerley, will be racing at the New Balance Indoor Grand Prix for the first time. Kerley won his first individual global medal at the 2019 World Athletics Championships in Doha, taking bronze in the 400m. Two years later, Kerley dropped down the 100m, in which he came away with the silver medal at the Olympic Games in Tokyo. In 2022, Kerley won the 100m gold at the World Athletics Championships in Eugene, OR. Kerley will be racing the first 60m dash of his career at the New Balance Indoor Grand Prix, where he will face compatriot and previously announced triple world champion Noah Lyles.

Another international medalist making his Boston debut, Lamecha Girma, leads the field in the men’s 3000m. Girma has won 3000m steeplechase silver medals at the 2019, 2022, and 2023 World Athletics Championships, as well as at the 2020 Olympic Games. Last year, Girma ran 7:23.81 at the Meeting Hauts-de-France Pas-de-Calais in Liévin, France, to erase Daniel Komen’s 25-year-old world indoor record at 3000m. Continuing his record spree into the outdoor season, Girma demolished Saif Saeed Shaheen’s 19-year-old world record in the 3000m steeplechase with a 7:52.11 clocking at the Meeting de France Diamond League in Paris.
