Sha’Carri Richardson is set to headline the women’s 100 meters at the 2025 Prefontaine Classic on July 5 at Hayward Field in Eugene, Oregon. This event marks the 50th anniversary of the prestigious meet and is part of the Diamond League circuit.
Richardson, the reigning 100m World Champion and 2024 Olympic silver medalist, will be defending her title from last year’s Prefontaine Classic, where she clocked a winning time of 10.83 seconds. Her personal best of 10.65 seconds, achieved at the 2023 World Athletics Championships, stands as one of the fastest times in history.
Earlier this season, Richardson opened her 2025 campaign at the Tokyo Golden Grand Prix, finishing fourth with a time of 11.47 seconds. Despite the slower start, she remains a formidable competitor and a fan favorite.
Tickets for the Prefontaine Classic start at $25, with VIP packages available. The event promises to be a thrilling showcase of elite sprinting talent.
