The list of former Red Raiders is a decorated one highlighted by Gil Roberts, an Olympic gold medalist in the 400m in Rio 2016. He will be the most veteran and experienced alumnus competing. Three track athletes who scored points towards Tech's 2019 national title will also run: Andrew Hudson in the 200m and Vincent Crisp and Jonah Koech in the 800m. Crisp runs with Under Armour's District TC out of Washington, D.C.
Field events will be highlighted by three-time NCAA and two-time Big 12 Champion high jumper Trey Culver. 2019 NCAA Champion discus thrower Duke Kicinski will throw as well. Former All-American Charles Brown will long jump.
Tech's distance program will be represented by Benard Keter in the 3000m steeplechase. Keter has spent the last few years since winning multiple Big 12 distance and cross country titles running for the U.S. Army World Class Athlete Program.
