2006 Nike Prefontaine Classic

2006
Event Coverage
Available on DVD

Although the Prefontaine Classic has been broadcast on television for many years, this is the first DVD production that is available to purchase. Watch the co-world record holders dominate their sections of the 100 meters. In the Bowerman Mile nine of the 13 competitors dipped under the four minute mark with Bernard Lagat winning in 3:51.53 just ahead of last year’s winner, Alex Kipchirchir. The hurdle events were close with Michelle Perry and Liu Xiang both winning their specialties. Other winners include Bershawn Jackson, Wallace Spearmon, LaShawn Merritt, Sanya Richards, and Maria Mutola winning her 14th consecutive 800 meter run. These types of performances illustrate why many consider this meet to be the best in the United States each year. Complete results can be found through the USATF who also offers this DVD for sale.
