# 2021 Prefontaine Classic

The 2021 Prefontaine Classic was the 46th edition of the annual outdoor track and field meeting in Eugene, Oregon, United States. Held on 20-21 August at Hayward Field, it was the eighth leg of the 2021 Diamond League – the highest-level international track and field circuit.
The meeting was highlighted by American records from Athing Mu (in the women's 800 m) and Courtney Frerichs (in the women's 3000 m steeplechase, becoming the first American to run under 9 minutes). Sifan Hassan attempted the 5000 metres world record, but did not achieve it.

## Results

Athletes competing in the Diamond League disciplines earned extra compensation and points which went towards qualifying for the Diamond League finals in Zürich. First place earned 8 points, with each step down in place earning one less point than the previous, until no points are awarded in 9th place or lower.
