	← 2021 2023 →

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

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]

Results

Athletes competing in the Diamond League disciplines earned extra compensation and points which went towards qualifying for the Diamond League finals in Zürich. First place earned 8 points, with each step down in place earning one less point than the previous, until no points are awarded in 9th place or lower.^[5]
