Maurice Greene, Lisa Barber return
to adidas Track Classic CARSON, Calif. (April 27) – Maurice
Greene, the dominant sprinter in the world
for the past decade and one of the greatest of all time, and
Lisa Barber, the latest American sprint sensation, are the newest
additions to a star-studded field at the 2006 adidas Track Classic on
May 21, organizers announced today. In addition, hip-hop artist and
film star Bow Wow will perform as a special guest. The adidas Track Classic will
begin at 12:30 p.m. PT at The Home Depot Center, on the campus of California
State University, Dominguez Hills, and will be broadcast live on ESPN
from 1 p.m.-3 p.m. PT. (4 p.m.-6 p.m. ET). Greene, 31, burst onto the international
scene when he won the 100-meter gold medal at the 1997 World Championships.
He would earn three straight world titles at that distance, in addition
to winning the 200-meter World Championship gold in 1999. That same
year, he also broke the World Record when he ran 9.79 second, which
still makes him the fastest American in history. In 2000, he won two
Olympic gold medals, at 100 meters and as anchor of the 4x100m relay. Barber holds two World Championship gold
medals (2003, 2005) from the 4x100m relay, but the 25-year-old came
into her own on the international stage this indoor season when she
won the World Indoor Championships at 60 meters. She is also the reigning
US titleholder at both 60 meters and 100 meters. Produced by Global Athletics & Marketing, Inc., the adidas Track Classic is the second stop of USA Track & Field’s Visa Championship Series. Tickets, at $45 (finish line), $30 (homestretch) and $20 (backstretch) are now available by calling Ticketmaster at 213-480-3232 or visiting www.Ticketmaster.com.
