The United States has unveiled a strong 57-athlete roster for the upcoming World Athletics Indoor Championships, set to take place from March 20–22 in Toruń, Poland. USA Track & Field (USATF) announced the squad this week, confirming 28 men and 29 women will represent Team USA at the global indoor showpiece.
The team features a mix of seasoned championship medalists and exciting newcomers, including six athletes who medaled at the 2025 edition and 21 competitors making their first senior national team appearance at a global championship.
The championship will be staged at the Kujawsko Pomorska Arena and is expected to attract the world’s best indoor athletes across track and field events. Team USA enters the competition with significant medal ambitions following strong performances in recent international competitions. Fans in the United States will be able to follow the action live on NBC and through streaming platform Peacock.
Among the biggest names leading the American squad at the World Athletics Indoor Championships is Olympic champion Cole Hocker. The 2024 Olympic gold medalist in the 1500m and 2025 outdoor world champion in the 5000m will compete in the 3000m after narrowly winning the U.S. indoor title by just three hundredths of a second. Hocker will be seeking his first world indoor title, having previously won silver in the 1500m at the 2024 championships.
Combined-events star Anna Hall will also make a major appearance in Poland, competing in the pentathlon. The 2025 world outdoor champion holds the two highest pentathlon scores in American history and will be making her debut at the indoor global championship.
Meanwhile, sprint standout Khaleb McRae arrives in top form after setting a pending world record of 44.52 seconds in the 400m earlier this season. Teenage sensation Cooper Lutkenhaus will compete in the 800m after breaking the world under-20 record with 1:44.03 and claiming the national indoor title.
Team USA will also aim to defend relay honors at the World Athletics Indoor Championships, with quarter-milers Bailey Lear and Rosey Effiong returning after helping secure gold in the women’s 4x400m in 2025. On the men’s side, relay specialist Elija Godwin is back in the relay pool after contributing to the gold-medal performance last year.
Field event stars such as shot put bronze medalist Chase Jackson and 2025 silver medalist Roger Steen will also be among the medal contenders.
Another athlete to watch is Olympic medalist Jasmine Moore, who will compete in both the long jump and triple jump. Moore made history by becoming the first American woman to double in the horizontal jumps at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, where she won bronze medals in both events.
