( We will provide a complete event by event analysis after my walk this evening, right now, just salient points and overall themes…).
The thirty-fifth Nike Prefontaine Classic was celebration of all things Nike in Track City, Eugene, Oregon. The meet went from one great race, one great event to another. I spent the entire meet twittering each event result (twitter.com/runblogrun), and will be doing that for the USATF Championships as well.
For me the event showed us several major themes:
The first is that competition among traditionally strong events for the U.S. has continued to increase, with the men’s 200 meters ( shown in the 300 meters) now approaching the men’s 110 meter hurdles and women’s 100m hurdles, two of the toughest events to make on the U.S. team.

An athlete needing to make up for a tough 2008 is a continuing theme. Note the case of Dwight Phillips, who was the 2004 Olympic, 2005 world champion and 2007 brone medalist at the long jump. He did not make the team in 2008, but has come out in 2009 as a man on a mission. He first ran a 10.06 for 100 meters at a small meet at Georgia-that was his personal best. Competing against Irving Saldino, 2007 gold medalist in Osaka and the 2008 Beijing champion, Dwight Phillips completed an act of redemption: his aggressive running style, his follow through on his long jump, his tremendous focus, accolades, for the longest long jump since 1991–with a jump of 28-8 1/4– or 8.74m . That is the farthest legal jump since 1991 and put him in the top ten performers of all times. Irving Saldino did not give up easily, jumping 8.55 and 8.63m-his personal best in the competition!
The depth of US women’s distance talent. In the women’s 1,500 meters, Jenny Barringer was the star of the day, becoming the third US performer of all times, with her superb 3:59.89, just missing Geleta Burka’s winning 3;59.98! Barringer told the media that she was thinking 4:04! In fourth place, Anna Willard ran 4:01.4! In fifth place, Christin Wurth-Thomas ran her personal best of 4:01.72, and in sixth place, Shannon Rowbury, two races shy of racing fit, who put it all on the line for the first 1200 meters, ran a fine 4:03.92 opener.

Jenny Barringer of Colorado is the real thing. This young women has talent, racing sense and she had her first real experience at the super elite level. Her last three hundred meters was astonishing, and her last 150 meters was a near route of the entire field!
Reese Hoffa showed he was tought with his come from behind,final throw win with a world leading 71-10!
Bernard Lagat looked great taking Said Shaheen in the 3,000 meters, but Shaheen barely held off a hard charging Chris Solinsky, Matt Tegenkamp and Alistair Cregg!
Nick Symmonds continues his rock star 800 meter racing, with his hard charging win over Alfred Yego of Kenya, in 1:45.86, with Christian Smith taking third. Yuriy Borzakovsky of Russia was sixth.
And Absel Kipruto Kiprop, who we interviewed after the meet, who told us that his 3:48.50 was his first mile ever! ” I thought we were running 3:52 pace, or I would have run through the finish.” Kiprop, the showman of the Kenyan middle distance crowd, missed the Bowerman mile record by two tenths.
