Felix, Stuczynski, Powell & Fraser added to 2009 Reebok Grand Prix Lineup

Two-time Olympic Games women's 200m silver medalist Allyson Felix, 2008 Olympic women's pole vault silver medalist Jenn Stuczynski, along with Jamaican sprint stars Asafa Powell and Shelly-Ann Fraser, will compete May 30 at the 2009 Reebok Grand Prix at Icahn Stadium in New York City.

The fourth stop of USA Track & Field's 2009 Visa Championship Series, the Reebok Grand Prix will be televised live on NBC from 4:30 p.m.-6:00 p.m. Eastern Time.

The 27-year old Jenn Stuczynski broke her own American indoor record in the pole vault when she successfully cleared 4.83 meters/15 feet, 10 inches at the 2009 U.S. Indoor Nationals giving her a seventh U.S. title. The 2008 Olympic silver medalist has been the number one ranked American pole vaulter since 2006. Stuczynski, who set the American outdoor record of 4.92m/16-1.75 last year in Eugene, Ore., is one of only three women ever to clear 16 feet in the pole vault.
