The 2019 Prefontaine Classic was one of the finest meets in the event history. It also showed that, as the sponsors have noted before, more DL events can and should be held in North America.

The finest event? The women's 3000m was deepest. The most exciting?
Well, the men's 100m and women's 200m were also hot!

The most telling? Rai Benjamins' 47.16 showed how deep the men's 400m hurdles is in 2019.
