champion, and Maurice Greene, an Olympic gold medalist
at 100 meters and a three-time World Champion, have been
added to a star-studded field for the 100th Millrose Games,
organizers announced Tuesday. Devers will compete in the
60-meter hurdles and Greene in the 60-meter dash. Devers, who is also a three-time World Indoor Champion at
60 meters, has made five Olympic teams spanning back to
1988, and is a 10-time USA hurdles champion. She is the

His credentials rank him as one of the greatest sprinters of
