Prefontaine Classic Day 1 Podcast: Jakob and Yared 3:43, Kipyegon 3:50, Benjamin Over Warholm, Coleman over Lyles – We Can’t Wait for 2024

What a meet at Pre and our live podcast breaks it all down with Jonathan Gault in Eugene and Weldon Johnson in the Letsrun.com headquarters.
Jakob Ingebrigtsen won the mile but Yared Nuguse ran 3:43.97 to shatter Alan Webb's American record. Faith Kiyegon ran 3:50 for 1500m, was this the greatest distance season by anyone ever? Karsten Warholm got beat by Rai Benjamin, Christian Coleman turned back Noah Lyles, and Sha'Carri got beat, but all of these performances made us very excited for 2024.
