Pryce, a Jamaican sprinter, won 400m national titles in 2023 and 2024 and was the 2024 NCAA 400m Champion, breaking the NCAA record and Jamaican national record with a 48.89-second performance. She competed in the 400m semi-finals at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris. 

"Joining Grand Slam Track is a dream come true for me," said Pryce. "I've spent years working toward competing at the highest level, and this is the perfect opportunity to push myself even further. I'm excited for the challenge and ready to bring my best to every race. The road ahead will be tough, but I believe I have the strength to rise to it and accomplish even more, both on and off the track."

Holmes, an American sprinter, anchored the gold-medal winning 4x400m relay team at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris. All four athletes from that national record-setting squad - Holmes, Shamier Little, Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone, Gabby Thomas - are signed as Racers for the 2025 Grand Slam Track season.

Holmes won the U.S. national indoor 400m title and took bronze in the 400m at the 2024 World Indoor Championships in Glasgow. She finished sixth in the 400m final at the Paris Olympics.

"I'm really excited to be part of Grand Slam Track. I’m a competitor, and I love the idea of lining up with the best of the best," said Holmes. "In my first two years as a pro, I’ve had a lot of success on the world & Olympic stage, but I’m not satisfied. I think Grand Slam Track will be a great opportunity to continue showcasing my tenacity, growth & hard work this season.”

Seville, a Jamaican sprinter, made headlines in June at the Racers Grand Prix in Kingston, Jamaica when he ran a world-leading 9.82 in the 100m and upset eventual 2024 Olympic Gold Medalist Noah Lyles. Seville was a finalist in the men's 100m in Paris, finishing eighth. He placed fourth in the 100m at the 2022 and 2023 World Championships.

Gebrhiwet, an Ethiopian long-distance runner, has collected multiple global medals, including silver at the 2013 World Championships in Moscow, bronze at the 2015 World Championships in Beijing, and bronze at the 2016 Rio Olympics.  He finished fifth in the 5000m at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Zhoya, a French hurdler, is three-time national champion. In 2019, he broke the U18 world record in the 110m hurdles with a time of 12.87 seconds. In 2021, he set a U20 record in the event (12.72) and won gold at the World U20 Championships in Nairobi. In 2023, he won both the European U23 Championships and the French National Championships. In 2024, he claimed the Diamond League 110m hurdles title in Brussels and was a semi-finalist in the event at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris.
