STAMFORD, Conn. – May 23, 2024 – Reigning 100m world champion Sha’Carri Richardson and reigning Olympic and world shot put champion and world record holder Ryan Crouser headline NBC Sports’ live coverage of the Prefontaine Classic this Saturday, May 25, at 4 p.m. ET on NBC and Peacock from Historic Hayward Field at the University of Oregon in Eugene, Ore. Doubly serving as a stop on the Diamond League schedule, the Prefontaine Classic is one of the most prestigious track & field meets of the year, regularly attracting an elite lineup of international talent.
Richardson, who won three medals at her first-ever World Championships last year (1st – 100m, 1st – 4x100m gold, 3rd – 200m bronze) headlines a competitive women’s 100m featuring two-time reigning Olympic 100m/200m gold medalist Elaine Thompson-Herah (Jamaica), three-time world medalist Marie-Josée Ta Lou (Ivory Coast), and reigning 60m world indoor champion Julien Alfred (Saint Lucia). In the men’s 100m, reigning 60m indoor world champion Christian Coleman highlights an elite field that includes Ferdinand Omanyala (Kenya), the national record holder in the event.
The men’s 200m features Tokyo Olympic 200m silver medalist Kenny Bednarek, who set a world lead and meet record at the Doha Diamond League meet earlier this month (19.67).
In the famed Bowerman Mile, the last two Olympic 1500m gold medalists in Jakob Ingebrigtsen (2020 Tokyo) and Matthew Centrowitz (2016 Rio) and the last three 1500m world champions in Geordie Beamish (2024 indoor), Josh Kerr (2023 outdoor) and Jake Wightman (2022 outdoor) are all expected to race one another in one of the deepest mile fields ever assembled. American mile record holder Yared Nuguse, 2024 world indoor 1500m silver and bronze medalists Cole Hocker and Hobbs Kessler, Australian mile record holder Oliver Hoare, and 3000m/3000m steeplechase world record holder Lamecha Girma (Ethiopia) are also expected to line up.
Tokyo Olympic 400m hurdles silver medalist and American record holder Rai Benjamin, reigning Olympic pole vault gold medalist Katie Moon, and many other stars are expected to compete.
NBC Sports’ Paul Swangard will call the event, joined by four-time Olympic medalist Ato Boldon, four-time Olympic gold medalist Sanya-Richards Ross, two-time Olympian Kara Goucher, and 2012 London Olympic decathlon silver medalist Trey Hardee as analysts. Lewis Johnson will serve as reporter.
