Prefontaine Classic 2025 Results : Sha'Carri Richardson faces massive upset; Kishane Thompson clinches title

The 50th edition of the Prefontaine Classic was conducted at the Hayward Field in Eugene, Oregon. The Eugene Prefontaine Classic also serves as the Eugene leg of the Wanda Diamond League.

Multiple records were broken at the Prefontaine Classic, including the world records in the women's 1500m as well as the 5000m event. However, this was only the beginning. Sha'Carri Richardson, one of the top favorites, was surprised by her teammate Melissa Jefferson-Wooden, who clocked 10.75 seconds to win the event.

Richardson finished last amongst the nine runners, with a timing of 11.19 seconds at the Prefontaine Classic. It wasn't better for her boyfriend, Christian Coleman, either, who finished seventh amongst the nine runners in the men's 100m event.

On the other hand, Olympic champion Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone once again proved her mettle at the Prefontaine Classic, though she won the 400m dash instead of the 400m hurdles event. Jamaican sprinting sensation Kishane Thompson cemented his position as a top sprinter by winning the men's 100m event with a timing of 9.85 seconds at the Prefontaine Classic.

Armand Duplantis of Sweden once again won the men's pole vault with ease. This time, the world record mark wasn't broken by the Swedish-American pole vaulter, though. Following are the results of the 50th Eugene Prefontaine Classic:
