A team of Lily Jones, Mays, Grebo and Ella Clayton will compete in the 4×100 relay, and a team of Grebo, Clayton, Katriina Wright and Shaniya Hall in the 4×400 relay.
Cheyla Scott will participate in the high jump, Shelby Moran in the hammer, Taylor Chocek in the heptathlon, and NCAA record-holder Jaida Ross in the shot put and discus.
On the men’s side, PJ Ize-Iyamu will race in the 100, and a trio of Elliott Cook, Rheinhardt Harrison and Tomas Palfrey will all compete in the 1,500. Rafael Raap will participate in the decathlon.
