Two-time Olympic gold medallist Veronica Campbell-Brown of Jamaica and three-time world champion Allyson Felix of the United States will face off in the 200 metres at the Adidas Grand Prix.



The June 12 meet on Randall\'s Island in New York will be the first match up on American soil between the two sprinters.



Felix leads 6-2 in their head-to-head meetings, but Campbell-Brown\'s two victories came at the Olympics.



World-record holder Usain Bolt of Jamaica had already been announced. He will take on Olympic silver medallist Richard Thompson of Trinidad and Tobago in the 100.
