Meet organizers have unveiled the full event schedule for the 2025 Prefontaine Classic, part of the prestigious Wanda Diamond League series, set for Saturday, July 5, at Hayward Field.
The 50th edition of the iconic meet promises a star-studded affair, with some of the sport’s biggest names. Sha’Carri Richardson, Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone, and Jakob Ingebrigtsen headlines a loaded program.
World 400m hurdles record-holder McLaughlin-Levrone will contest her third flat 400m of the season. She clocked an impressive 49.69 in Miami in May. Her personal best of 48.74, set right in Eugene in 2023, remains the fastest ever by an American. Eugene holds a special place in McLaughlin-Levrone’s career, four of her six world records have been set on this very track.
In the sprints, Olympic 100m champion Julien Alfred is set to renew her rivalry with Americans Sha’Carri Richardson and Melissa Jefferson-Wooden in a mouth-watering women’s 100m matchup. Alfred made history at Paris 2024 as the first Saint Lucian to win an Olympic medal, storming to a 10.72 national record in the final.
