Competing after impressive performances at the Zurich, and Rome Diamond League meets and the Grand Prix Lombardia in Brescia, Masai Russell registered another podium finish at Alexis Ohanian's inaugural Athlos women's only meet.
The 24-year-old competed in her signature Women's 100m hurdles event and finished third in the competition with a run time of 12.44 seconds. 2020 Tokyo Olympic gold medalist Jasmine Camacho-Quinn and her United States counterpart Alaysha Johnson finished ahead of Russell with run times of 12.36 and 12.43 seconds respectively.

Following the conclusion of her season with the Athlos NYC, Russell wrote on her official Instagram handle:
"Rookie season was a dream. God showed me just a preview of what’s to come. See yall on the track next season."
The Washington native's 2024 campaign saw her clinch the first Olympic gold medal of her career at the French capital defeating the defending champion, Camacho-Quinn. She also produced impressive performances at the US Olympic Track and Field trials and the Wanda Diamond League meets.
