The trials will run for four days, Thursday july 28 through to Sunday July 1. the first day of the four-day JAAA/Supreme Ventures National Senior Trials at the National Stadium will see the women's 400m hurdles heats opening the day at 9:30 a.m., with the heats of the men's 400m hurdles and the men's 100m completing the morning session. The afternoon session will feature some of the world's fastest athletes at the stadium when the 'big boys' come out for the quarter-final of the men's 100m, to be preceded by the heats of the women's equivalent.
