Coleman traveled back from his ban after he missed three drug tests, with a 6.49 seconds winning performance at the 2022 Millrose Games in New York, last month, and he will be hoping to build on that outing when he visits Tigertown.

Christian Coleman vs Matthew Boling in the 200m
Meanwhile, joining Coleman in a top featured 200m race is exciting young Georgia sprinter and current world leader Matthew Boling, who entered the weekend with a 20.27 secs. Javonte Harding of North Carolina A&T, the second fastest this year at 20.33, is also entered to jump in the starting blocks in the heat.
Coleman’s fastest time over the 200m indoor is 20.11 secs, but he could improve that mark at the weekend. Boling will also take aim at his 20.19 secs indoor personal best from 2021.
