Returning to defend his crown, Noah Lyles is set to make his seventh appearance at the New Balance Indoor Grand Prix.

In Boston, Lyles will attempt his fourth-consecutive New Balance Indoor Grand Prix victory over 60m.
Grant Holloway will also attempt his fourth-straight victory in the Viva Tequila Seltzer Men’s 60m Hurdles at the New Balance Indoor Grand Prix. Holloway is widely regarded as the best indoor hurdler in history, having won the 2022 and 2024 World Athletics Indoor Championships and owning eight of the nine fastest times ever recorded, including the world record of 7.27 set earlier this year. Outdoors, Holloway is just as dominant, having won the 2019, 2022, and 2023 World Athletics Championships and last summer’s 2024 Olympic Games in the 110m hurdles. Over the past six years, he has gone sub-13 on twelve occasions – more than any other athlete in history – while his outdoor lifetime best of 12.81 makes him the second-fastest man in history.
