All eyes around the world will be focused on Des Moines when it hosts the U.S. Outdoor Track and Field Championships this week July 25-28.

With the 2020 Tokyo Summer Olympics right around the corner, venerable Drake Stadium will never see a bigger array of the nation’s top track and field superstars in its history than the hundreds of athletes who will converge on the blue oval.

The U.S. Championships is expected to feature 74 Olympians who have won a total of 53 Olympic medals including 28 gold, one world record holder, 11 current American record holders and nine current world leaders in their respective events not to mention 19 recently crowned NCAA champions setting the stage for the GREATEST track and field meet ever held in Iowa.

The top three place winners in each event will represent Team USA at the World Championships in Doha, Qatar Sept. 27-Oct. 6.

It’s the first leg highlighting the year-round quest of Team USA athletes to compete at the Olympic Games.
