USA Track & Field (USATF) has officially unveiled the roster of athletes who will represent the United States at the upcoming World Athletics Championships in Tokyo. The team was selected based on performances at the USATF Outdoor Championships in Eugene, Oregon, held last month. In addition, automatic berths were granted to defending World Champions from the 2023 Championships in Budapest, along with reigning Wanda Diamond League Champions.

The Championships are set for September 13–21 at Tokyo’s National Stadium. Ahead of competition, Team USA will host a press conference for credentialed media at 11 a.m. JST on Friday, September 12, with further details on attending athletes to be announced.

“Following Team USA’s world-leading 29-medal performance in 2023, we are proud to send this incredible roster of athletes to Tokyo,” said USATF CEO Max Siegel. “We have increased our investment in high performance to levels never before seen by this organization, and U.S. athletes have responded with performances that make us medal contenders in nearly every discipline.”
