Here is a list of 10 storylines to keep an eye on Friday through Sunday at the USATF Indoor Championships at Albuquerque Convention Center in New Mexico:

USATF INDOOR CHAMPIONSHIPS TV AND WEBCAST INFO

Will Keni track down world record, can anyone catch Harrison?

Three of the top 20 women in history – Keni Harrison, Christina Manning and Sharika Nelvis – will compete in the 60-meter hurdles, with only two guaranteed spots on the U.S. roster to compete March 2-3 in Birmingham, U.K.

Harrison equaled the 2010 American record of 7.72 seconds by Lolo Jones on Feb. 9 at Clemson’s Tiger Paw Invitational, elevating her to a tie for third all-time in the event.

Manning has run 7.77 and Nelvis has clocked 7.80 in Germany this year, helping them ascend to No. 5 and tied for No. 7 in U.S. history.

Harrison won the title last year in 7.74 and is still pursuing the 2008 world record of 7.68 set by Sweden’s Susanna Kallur. The last American female athlete to repeat as 60 hurdles champion was Nia Ali in 2013-14.

Even if Nelvis doesn’t finish among the top two, she has an insurance policy because she is leading the IAAF World Indoor Tour, which would grant her a berth to compete in Birmingham. If Manning doesn’t place in the top two, she is in second behind Nelvis in the World Indoor Tour standings and could qualify for the World Championships by winning the final stop Feb. 25 at the Muller Grand Prix in Glasgow, Scotland.

Will Coleman produce another record run, can Baker secure back-to-back titles?

Although Christian Coleman ran the fastest 60-meter time in history by clocking 6.37 seconds Jan. 19 at Clemson Invitational, the time isn’t expected to be ratified by IAAF because of the starting blocks that were used, along with the lack of on-site drug testing.

But Coleman has an opportunity to officially eclipse the world record of 6.39 set by Maurice Greene in both 1998 and 2001, in addition to securing his first national title.

Ronnie Baker won the championship last year in 6.45, equal to the No. 5 performer in U.S. history.

Baker won Feb. 3 at the NYRR Millrose Games in 6.48, with Coleman prevailing Feb. 10 at the New Balance Indoor Grand Prix in 6.46.

Noah Lyles, who won the 300 national title last year, is also entered in the 60 and has the potential to secure one of the two automatic berths for the World Championships with a personal best of 6.57.

Will Houlihan attempt another double, or will another Bowerman teammate have a breakthrough?

Shelby Houlihan swept the mile and 2-mile titles at last year’s championship meet, following Shannon Rowbury, who achieved the feat in 2015.

Houlihan is entered in both the 1,500 and 3,000 this year and could become the first female athlete since Jenny Simpson in 2011-12 to repeat in the two distance events.

The 3,000 final is Saturday, so if Houlihan secures her World Championship berth, she might drop the 1,500 championship Sunday.

Houlihan ran 8:36.01, the second-fastest time in the world this year, on Feb. 3 at the Bruce Lehane Scarlet and White Invitational, with Bowerman Track Club teammate Marielle Hall posting the No. 7 time at 8:40.20. Emma Coburn could also challenge in the 3,000 after running 8:41.16 on Feb. 3 to take second at the NYRR Millrose Games.

Whether Houlihan competes or not, Bowerman teammates Colleen Quigley and Kate Grace – the top two finishers Feb. 3 in the Wanamaker Mile at the NYRR Millrose Games – could also factor into the 1,500, along with Rachel Schneider, who ranks third in the world this year in the mile at 4:27.30.

Renewing acquaintances in men’s long jump

Marquis Dendy and Jarrion Lawson squared off Feb. 3 in the men’s long jump at the New Mexico Classic, so there is plenty of familiarity for the former NCAA champions with the runway at Albuquerque Convention Center.

Lawson won the head-to-head matchup with a leap of 26-1.75 (7.97m) over Dendy, who jumped 25-9.5 (7.86m). Dendy and Ohio State senior Zack Bazile are tied for the top American mark this year at 26-8.25 (8.13m), which ranks fifth in the world.

Dendy captured the 2016 U.S. and World Indoor titles in Portland. Lawson secured a silver medal at the World Outdoor Championships in August in London.

Michael Hartfield has an entry mark of 26-0.25 (7.93m) and Andre Dorsey has jumped 25-11 (7.90m) and both have the potential to knock off Dendy or Lawson to earn a berth to compete March 2 in Birmingham.

Individual goals take precedent for relay record holders

Ajee’ Wilson, Raevyn Rogers, Charlene Lipsey and Chrishuna Williams combined to set the world indoor record Feb. 3 in the 4x800 relay at the NYRR Millrose Games, but despite three of the athletes being coached by Derek Thompson, it will be every woman for herself when it comes to securing a spot Sunday on the U.S. roster in the 800.

Wilson won national indoor 800 titles in 2013, 2014 and 2016, along with a 600 championship last year, when Lipsey secured the 1,000 crown. Wilson ranks sixth in the world this year in the 800 with her 2:00.90 on Jan. 27 at the Dr. Sander Invitational/Columbia Challenge.

Rogers edged Lipsey by a 2:01.73 to 2:02.05 margin for second Saturday at the New Balance Indoor Grand Prix. Kaela Edwards, who trains in Colorado with Emma Coburn and Aisha Praught-Leer, could also be a factor after placing fifth in Boston in 2:02.33.

Hurdling heavyweights all chasing Holloway

Although Florida sophomore Grant Holloway won’t be competing in the men’s 60-meter hurdles, he is the global standard this year after not only setting the collegiate record Friday, but running a world-leading 7.42 seconds at Clemson’s Tiger Paw Invitational.

The past three national champions – Aries Merritt, Jarret Eaton and Aleec Harris – are all entered, along with Devon Allen, who prevailed Feb. 3 at the NYRR Millrose Games in 7.50.

Merritt is the last champion to run under 7.50, when he clocked 7.43 in 2012, but Eaton ranks third in the world this year after running 7.47. Merritt enters with a season-best 7.53 and Harris has clocked 7.60.

Moline looks to master 400 against major challengers

Georganne Moline ran 51.39 in the 400 on Friday at Texas Tech, the second-fastest time in the world this year, and looks to make her first U.S. roster since qualifying for the 2012 Olympics in the 400 hurdles.

But Moline will have to prevail against a field that includes reigning world 400 outdoor champion Phyllis Francis, defending U.S. outdoor champion and 2016 indoor winner Quanera Hayes, last year’s NCAA indoor champion Shakima Wimbley and collegiate record holder Courtney Okolo.

Natasha Hastings, who has made the past four U.S. teams competing at World Indoors, along with 2016 world silver medalist Ashley Spencer are also in the field.

With past indoor champions Francis, Hayes and Hastings, along with the event’s rising stars, the Americans should again be significant favorites to capture a third consecutive 4x400 relay gold medal in Birmingham.

Brazier, Windle seeking a touch of Gray

The past two weeks Donavan Brazier has continued to get closer to the American indoor 800 record of Johnny Gray, clocking 1:45.11 on Saturday at the New Balance Indoor Grand Prix to elevate to the No. 20 all-time world performer and put the 1992 standard of 1:45.00 in serious jeopardy in Sunday’s final.

Drew Windle became the No. 3 American performer in history Feb. 3 at the NYRR Millrose Games by clocking 1:45.53.

Erik Sowinski, last year’s 600 winner, and Clayton Murphy – the reigning 1,000 national champion – are also potential challengers, along with Sam Ellison, who won the David Hemery Valentine Invitational in 1:46.49 on Saturday in Boston to ascend to No. 10 in the world this year.

Reese pursuing a return to runway royalty

Brittney Reese has won three national indoor long jump titles, but didn’t compete at last year’s finals, looking to position herself for an opportunity at a fourth career World Indoor Championship gold medal.

Reese holds the American indoor record 23-8.75 (7.23m), but hasn’t approached that mark in the past two years.

She will be challenged by first-year professionals Quanesha Burks and Sha’Keela Saunders, two of the top collegiate jumpers last season at Alabama and Kentucky, along with reigning champion Erica Bougard.

Burks ranks fourth in the world this year at 21-10.75 (6.67m), Reese’s season best is 21-6.75 (6.57m) and Saunders has leaped 21-2 (6.45m). Bougard won the title last year with a jump of 21-1.50 (6.44m).

U.S. Army WCAP tries to dominate men’s distances

With Paul Chelimo, Shadrack Kipchirchir and Emmanuel Bor entered in both the 1,500 and 3,000, along with Eliud Rutto in the 800 and 1,500, the U.S. Army World Class Athlete Program has an opportunity to secure multiple berths to compete in Birmingham.

Chelimo dominated in the 2-mile final last year, looking to follow Ryan Hill, who captured back-to-back titles in 2015-16.

Ben Blankenship prevailed in the mile race last year and could match Matthew Centrowitz, who secured mile and 1,500 titles in consecutive seasons in 2015-16. Blankenship ranks fifth in the world in the mile this season at 3:54.77.

Craig Engels, who ranks second in the world this year in the mile at 3:53.93, will be a significant challenger in the 1,500 as well.
