Ajee Wilson highlights an Olympic Development 800 meter women's field including 10 women from five countries, the Penn Relays presented by Toyota announced on Monday. 

Wilson, a 2022 World Indoor champion who finished fourth in the Olympic 800m final in 2021, holds a personal best of 1:55.61 and is returning to Franklin Field fresh off her win in the Olympic Development 600m field last year in 1:24.45.

The field will include Americans Charlene Lipsey, Olivia Baker and Aaliyah Miller, along with Canadian Madeleine Kelly and Italian Sintayehu Vissa, who switched from the 1,500m to the 800m. 

Baker is coming off the USA Indoor Championships where she finished fifth and an outdoor season a year ago where she hit a season-best of 2:01.01. Miller finished fourth in the 800m last year at the Penn Relays. 

Kelly, a three-time Canadian champion, ran 2:00.93 indoors at the David Hemery Invitational in February.
