The University of Florida will host the 2021 Tom Jones Memorial Invitational at Percy Beard Track in James G. Pressly Stadium in Gainesville, this weekend, and you can follow the live results and updates. The two-day meeting will take place on Friday, April 16, and Saturday, April 17, with the live results available at Half-Mile Timing.
The meeting is slated to provide some thrilling entertainment with World Championships 110m hurdles champion Grant Holloway among the elite athletes set to feature at his alma mater.
Holloway, who opened his season with a slightly wind-assisted, but impressive 13.04 seconds at the 2021 Miramar Invitational on Saturday, April 10, revealed that he will compete at the Tom Jones Memorial this weekend and he’ll be hoping to build on his performance from last week.
The 23-year-old will race in the Olympic Development men’s 110m hurdles, which is listed to take place on Saturday’s second day of competition.
