Richardson, with her 100m bye in the worlds, said she was planning to run the 200m at the national championships. Thomas is the defending national champion, looking for her fourth title US 200M.
McLaughlin-Levrone, who broke the world record in the 400m hurdles six times, has chosen not to run this event at the national championships. Instead, she entered the 400m set, an event where she is the fastest second American in history. She was a third time for the best time in 2025 behind Aaliyah Butler and Bella Whittaker.
The 800m male could be the most convincing event. The field includes the three fastest Americans in history: Bryce Hoppel (fourth at the 2024 Olympic Games), Josh Hoey (fourth at the 2024 Olympic trials, missing the team by a place) and the 2019 world champion Donavan Brazier, back this season after having missed almost three years due to an injury.
