Prefontaine Classic: Tate Taylor, Nikki Hiltz, Cam Myers, Jefferson Wooden Win Sha'Carri is back

The 2026 Prefontaine Classic delivered fireworks on America's 250th birthday. Nikki Hiltz stunned Faith Kipyegon to win the Women's Bowman Mile, raising questions about whether the greatest 1500m runner ever is finally fading. Tate Taylor, a 19-year-old high schooler destroyed a loaded Diamond League 200m field in 19.75 into a headwind — beating Olympic champion Letsile Tebogo. Cam Myers pulled away convincingly in the Men's Bowman Mile, Jamal Britt broke 12.90 for the second straight race in a historic 110m hurdles season, and Sha'Carri Richardson lost a photo-finish Women's 100m thriller to Melissa Jefferson Wooden.
