Hurdler’s Masai Russell and Grant Holloway, gold medalist at the Paris Olympics, became American indoor national tit lists on Saturday at USATF Indoor Championship 2025 in Staten Island, NY
Holloway has a winning line for over a decade in men’s 60-meters of obstacles, and he matched his fastest time in the world this year in 7.36 seconds. Cameron Murray was next in a personal best 7.41.
Russell captured its first American indoor crown in 60 obstacles with a personal best 7.74, including the world’s best time this year. Grace Stark was second in 7.76.

Russell instead plans to focus on the outdoor course season in the spring.
