International athletics championship event
The 2022 Prefontaine Classic was the 47th edition of the annual outdoor track and field meeting in Eugene, Oregon , United States . Held on 27-28 May at Hayward Field , it was the third leg of the 2022 Diamond League – the highest-level international track and field circuit.
Highlights [ edit ]
The meeting was initially highly anticipated due to announced world record attempts in the women's two miles and both the men's and women's 5000 metres .[1] However, multiple high-level withdrawals caused concern, as Caster Semenya , Athing Mu , Matthew Centrowitz Jr. , Rai Benjamin , and Sam Kendricks were all initially listed to compete but were not on the final start lists.[2]
Though no world records were set, the meeting was highlighted Jakob Ingebrigtsen winning the Bowerman Mile, and a women's 100 m showing improvement from both Elaine Thompson-Herah and Sha'Carri Richardson on the women's side.[3] [4]
