NEW YORK – Grand Slam Track has of­fi­cial­ly re­vealed the com­plete ros­ter of 96 Rac­ers and Chal­lengers set to com­pete in the league’s in­au­gur­al event, the Kingston Slam, tak­ing place from April 4th to 6th in Ja­maica.

Head­lin­ing the Chal­lengers are glob­al track and field icons such as Grace Stark, Dalilah Muham­mad, Ac­k­eem Blake, Favour Ofili, and Do­minic Lob­alu.

How­ev­er, the event will be with­out two no­table Rac­ers, De­von Allen and Luis Gri­jal­va, who are side­lined due to in­juries. To fill their spots, an ad­di­tion­al Chal­lenger has been added to each of their re­spec­tive event groups.

The in­clu­sion of these ath­letes brings the to­tal num­ber of na­tions rep­re­sent­ed at the Kingston Slam to 22, un­der­scor­ing Grand Slam Track’s com­mit­ment to be­ing a tru­ly glob­al league.

“We’re thrilled to fi­nal­ize the line­up for our first-ever Grand Slam Track event,” said Michael John­son, the league’s founder and Com­mis­sion­er. “With 96 world-class com­peti­tors, the Kingston Slam will be a spec­tac­u­lar cel­e­bra­tion of speed and ath­leti­cism. We in­vite fans from around the world to join us in Ja­maica for what promis­es to be an un­for­get­table fes­ti­val of track and field at the Na­tion­al Sta­di­um.”

The league al­so con­firmed that Chal­lengers for up­com­ing Slams in Mi­a­mi, Philadel­phia, and Los An­ge­les will be an­nounced in the near fu­ture.
