NBCSN presents coverage of the 2017 USA Indoor Championships from the Albuquerque Convention Center in Albuquerque, N.M., this Saturday, Mar. 4, at 10:30 p.m. ET and Sunday, Mar. 5, LIVE at 5:30 p.m. ET on NBCSN. The field for the USA Indoor Championships features 39 Olympians, who have won a total of 15 Olympic medals, including 6 gold medals.
Highlighting the field of Team
USA athletes vying for National titles on Saturday are: 2012 Olympic silver medalist Erik Kynard in the men's high jump; 2016 Olympic bronze medalist Sam Kendricks in the men's pole vault; 2016 Olympic medalists Phyllis Francis (gold in 4x400m relay) and Ashley Spencer (bronze in 400m hurdles) in the women's 300m; and 2016 Olympic 5000m silver medalist Paul Chelimo in the men's two mile.
The United States'
UNRIVALED depth in the hurdles will be on display in Albuquerque on Sunday. Leading the men's side is Aries Merritt, the 2012 Olympic gold medalist and world record-holder in the 110m hurdles who fell short of qualifying for Rio less than a year after having a kidney transplant. On the women's side, Keni Harrison will also be looking for redemption after she missed out on the 2016 Olympics at Trials last summer, and then set the world record in the 100m hurdles a few weeks later.
Live coverage on Sunday also features 2016 Olympic silver medalist Sandi Morris facing 2012 Olympic champion Jenn Suhr in the women's pole vault; Rio Olympian Vashti Cunningham, daughter of former NFL
PRO BOWL quarterback Randall Cunningham, in the women's high jump; Rio Olympians Courtney Okolo, who won gold in the 4x400m relay, and Ajee Wilson in the women's 600m; 2016 Olympic gold medalist Michelle Carter, daughter of 1984 Olympic shot put silver medalist and former NFL player Michael Carter, in the women's shotput; and 2016 Olympic 800m bronze medalist Clayton Murphy in the men's 1000m.
