After finishing second to the Commonwealth Select team in 2004 and runner-up to Russia in 2005, Team USA will look to get back on the winning track this weekend.

Defending U.S. Norwich Union champions include Olympic and world champion Dwight Phillips, who won the men's long jump last year with a leap of 8.26 meters/27 feet, 1.75 inches. Olympic 200m silver medalist and reigning women's world 200m champion Allyson Felix won the 400 meters in 2005 in a personal best time of 51.12 seconds. Felix will compete in her specialty, the 200 meters, this weekend in Birmingham.

Other U.S. men's standouts to watch for this weekend include 2005 World Outdoor Championships silver medalist Wallace Spearmon in the 200 meters, Olympic 4x400m relay gold medalist Darold Williamson at 400 meters, two-time Olympic medalist and reigning U.S. Outdoor 1,500m and 5,000m champion Bernard Lagat in the 3,000 meters and 2005 world champion Bershawn Jackson in the 400m hurdles.

Other men's field event stars to watch for include world indoor champion Brad Walker and 2004 Olympic Games silver medalist Toby Stevenson in the pole vault, 2006 USA Outdoor champion Brian Johnson in the long jump and 2006 USA Outdoor runner-up Keith Moffatt in the high jump.

The U.S. will field a potent 1-2 punch in the women's 100 meters led by World Outdoor champion Lauryn Williams and 2003 World Outdoor Championships 100m gold medalist and 200m silver medalist Torri Edwards. Joining Allyson Felix in the 200 meters is 2005 World Outdoor Championships 400m silver medalist Sanya Richards, who owns the three fastest 400m times in the world this outdoor season, and the fifth- fastest 200m time this year of 22.25 seconds from her win at Gateshead in June.

2006 USA Outdoor Championships runner-up Dee Dee Trotter and fellow 2004 Olympic 4x400m relay gold medalist Moushaumi Robinson will compete in the women's 400 meters, with three-time USA Outdoor champion and 2005 World Outdoor Championships finalist Hazel Clark and 2006 USA Outdoor runner-up and USA Indoor champ Alice Schmidt carrying U.S. hopes in the 800 meters.

Also look for the U.S. to be strong in the 100m hurdles, where reigning USA Outdoor champion and two-time NCAA Outdoor champ Virginia Powell will team up with two-time World Outdoor Championships finalist Jenny Adams.

Three-time Olympian and 2006 USA Outdoor runner-up Amy Acuff will compete in the women's high jump, and look for reigning USA Outdoor champion Jenn Stuczynski and 2006 USA Outdoor runner-up Jillian Schwartz in the pole vault. 2005 World Outdoor champion Tianna Madison will compete in the long jump along with 2006 national outdoor champion Rose Richmond.
