Big names like Gudaf Tsegay, Noah Lyles, Lamecha Girma, and Grant Holloway will be the star attractions at the New Balance Grand Prix 2024 season. Gudaf made a 5000m record last year in Eugene. She breathes a sign of relief when she now has to perform in her own country and is extremely glad to do so. She will be competing in the 1500m track and filed race with the world champion Birke Haylom.
Birke Haylom had set a jaw dropping US20 record of 3:54:93 in the year 2023. So, seeing Gudaf and Birke competing with each other in this season of the New Balance Grand Prix would be wonderful. Along with Gudaf Tsegay, other significant players viz. Ayal Dagnachew and Nozomi Tanaka, will also be contesting in the same game.
Lamecha is another gifted athlete, who is also a fellow compatriot of Gudaf. He will come up with the 3000m this season. With a record of 7:23:81 last year, expectations are way higher from his fandom. We hope to receive an exciting inception in Lamecha’s case.
