2025 Prefontaine Classic

Plus the coaching merry-go-round among the top US women's 1500 runners this year and thoughts on the NBC broadcast, which disappointed.

Laros edged out Yared Nuguse by .01 in a thrilling Bowerman Mile while Mu finished last in her return to the 800 in 2:03.44.

For the first time in 32 years, two outdoor women's distance world records on the track fell on the same day. Chebet is the first woman under 14:00 for 5000m on the track while Kipyegon broke the 1500 record for the third time.

What a meet. 2 WRs and 2 shocking DFL's from 2 of America's biggest stars in AMN and SML.

Mu has not raced an 800 in almost a year, while Chebet is chasing the first women's sub-14:00 on the track. Plus Conner Mantz in the men's 10,000 and Kenny Bednarek v. Letsile Tebogo in the 200.

Alfred and Melissa Jefferson-Wooden have been on fire in 2025, while Richardson can never be counted out. Thompson rolls into Pre after running 9.75 -- the fastest time in 10 years -- last week in Kingston.

An American man hasn't held the mile world record in over 50 years. Might that change on Saturday in Eugene?  Nuguse's coach Dathan Ritzenhein: "It won’t shock me if they break [the world record]."

• An American man hasn't held the mile WR in 50+ years, might that change at the 50th Pre? Ritz: "It won’t shock me."
