Trayvon Bromell Wins Prefontaine Classic 2022, After Disqualification in Last Race

The Diamond League is back with its third stop of the year. The Eugene leg of the League fielded some of the biggest names in the track and field community. Trayvon Bromell, Fred Kerley, Andre De Grasse, and many others faced off for the ultimate showdown.

With no clear favorite to win, the men’s 100m event was wide open for every man on the track. And when it mattered the most, Bromell stepped up.

In a track featuring Fred Kerley, Noah Lyles, Andre De Grasse, and Trayvon Bromell, there was no way of determining a winner before the start of the race. Coming off a disqualification from the previous leg of the league, Bromell had the most to prove amongst all competitors. And he proved himself just right.

The American finished in 1st place with a time of 9.93seconds. Behind him in 2nd place was his countryman Fred Kerley, who finished with a time of 9,98seconds. Christian Coleman finished in third place with a time of 10.04seconds, marking his season best time.
