As expected, the Prefontaine Classic in Eugene delivered a spectacular afternoon of athletics with two new world records going down and eight new world leads set. Let’s dig deeper into the 2025 Prefontaine Classic Results.
2025 Prefontaine Classic Results
First, it was Beatrice Chebet who toppled the women’s 5,000-meter record, running a time of 13:58.06 to fend off Agnes Jebet Ngetich’s personal best effort of 14:01.29. Although it will only be a footnote in history, Ngetich’s effort is also the third fastest time ever recorded in the event. Gudaf Tsefay would finish third with a season’s best of 14:04.41, 25 seconds over the rest of the field.
On her race, Chebet said, “When I was coming here to Eugene, I was coming to prepare to run a world record, and I said I have to try. I said if Faith is trying, why not me? And today, I’m so happy because I’ve achieved being the first woman to run under 14. I’m so happy for myself.”
The second world record of the day would be the last race of the afternoon. Perhaps none of us should be surprised with Faith Kipyegon’s record run of 3:48.68 coming off the heels of running the fastest time ever in the mile in the exhibition event Breaking4.Ethiopia’s Diribe Welteji would be second with a personal best time of 3:51.44.
On the field side, Rudy Winkler edged out the defending Olympic Champion from Canada, Ethan Katzberg, in the hammer throw with a new Diamond League record of 83.16 meters. This mark moves Winkler into the 18th spot on the all-time list. Katzerg’s personal best of 84.38 meters from last season puts him in ninth.
Winkler seemed to even surprise himself with his performance, saying, “My training this week was very bad, so I kind of came into this like zero expectations of like ‘whatever I throw, I throw,’ so I was super surprised by that today.”
Canada’s other Olympic gold medal-winning hammer thrower, Camryn Rogers, would maintain her top spot, throwing a Diamond League record of 78.88 meters.
The smart money in the women’s discus throw was on Valarie Allman, and she would meet expectations by setting a new meet record of 70.68 meters. Allman remains undefeated in 2025, winning all 11 of her competitions including four Diamond League meetings. The last time Allman finished anywhere other than first dates back to August 22, 2023, when she finished second at the World Championships.
Other notable performances on the men’s side that resulted in world leads include Letsile Tebogo running 19.78 seconds in the 200-meter, Joe Kovacs throwing 22.48 meters in the shot put, and Biniam Mehary running 26:43.82 in the 10,000 meters.
In the women’s long jump, it looked like Malaika Mihambo had things wrapped up after jumping 7.01 meters in the fourth round. In fact, we were so confident of her victory that we already had our graphic made up before the competition was finished (whoops). But Tara Davis-Woodhall would remind us why it isn’t over until the very end, tying the world lead with 7.07 meters in the last jump of the competition.
“This is insane, the crowd was silent when they were waiting for that jump, and that was perfection,” said Davis-Woodhall. “The energy, it’s here. You’re cheering for everyone that comes out. This is one of the most knowledgeable stadiums ever.”
Mihambo wouldn’t take her last two jumps of the competition due to leg pain, saying, “I didn’t want to overdo it today because it’s not about today, it’s about the World Championships in September,”
Bahrain’s Winfred Yavi dropped a world lead in the women’s 3,000-meter steeplechase, running 8:45.25.
