The Prefontaine Classic will be hosting two highly anticipated races at the upcoming event. In the 100m event, world champions Sha’Carri Richardson and Christian Coleman will face off against tough competition from athletes like Julien Alfred and Marie-Josee Ta Lou. Richardson won last year’s World Championships in Budapest with a time of 10.65, while Coleman took the Diamond Trophy in the same event.
Meanwhile, in the men’s 200m event, Erriyon Knighton, Letsile Tebogo, and Kenny Bednarek are set to race. Knighton has a lifetime best of 19.49 and won silver at last year’s World Championships at just 20 years old. Tebogo is a talented athlete from Botswana who has achieved significant success so far, while Bednarek claimed Olympic silver in 2021 and world silver in 2022 and is known for his versatility in sprinting events.
With such a strong field of athletes competing, both races promise to be exciting filled with top talent and fierce competition as they aim to outdo each other on track.
