NBCSN presents two hours of live coverage of the New Balance Indoor Grand Prix this Sunday, Feb. 14, at 4 p.m. ET from the Reggie Lewis Center in Boston, Mass. The New Balance Grand Prix is the second competition in the 2016 USATF Indoor Championship Series and the IAAF World Indoor Tour.

The competition features 2012 Olympic gold medalist Jenn Suhr in the women's pole vault and a deep field in the women's 60m hurdles, including two-time Olympic 100m hurdles medalist Dawn Harper-Nelson and three-time Olympian Lolo Jones (two Summer Games and one Winter Games). Two of the top U.S. sprinters, Tori Bowie, who earned bronze in the 100m at the 2015 World Championships, and English Gardner, who was the fastest American woman last year, will compete in the women's 60m. The women's field also features three-time Olympic medalist Meseret Defar of Ethiopia competing in the 3000m, and Brenda Martinez, who earned a bronze medal for the U.S. in the 800m at the 2013 World Championships, competing in the 1500m.
