As the Diamond League heads to Birmingham, England attention will turn to Kendra Harrison who competes in the 100m hurdles on Sunday. Harrison set a new Diamond League record last week in Eugene and leads a field that features two of the other Americans who finished as part of an all-USA top five that day. Brianna Rollins was the closest to Harrison and is back along with Nia Ali who finished fourth. Other previous winners competing in Birmingham will be Ameer Webb in the 200m, Tia Brooks in the shot put, and Erik Kynard in the high jump. All three won in Doha but have been beaten since then. In the shot put Brooks will also have to compete against Brittany Smith, third in Rabat.
Other previous top-three finishers who will be competing in Birmingham include Cassandra Tate, second in the 400m hurdles in Rabat, and Marquise Goodwin, already with a third and second place finish in his two long jump competitions so far this year.
