Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone will race the 400m when she makes her Prefontaine Classic debut on 5 July.
The world 400m hurdles record-holder will line up for her third 400m race of the season when she competes at the Wanda Diamond League meeting in Eugene. She clocked 49.69 in Miami in May and has a 400m PB of 48.74, set in Eugene in 2023.
McLaughlin-Levrone also achieved four of her six world 400m hurdles records in Eugene.
“I’m excited to participate in this year’s Prefontaine Classic, which holds a special place in the heart of track and field,” said McLaughlin-Levrone. “I’m looking forward to competing against an incredible field of athletes and can’t wait to see everyone in Eugene.”
The women’s 400m is not a Diamond League discipline in Eugene this year but other events being contested as part of the Diamond League programme include the women’s 1500m with Faith Kipyegon, the men’s 200m with Letsile Tebogo and Kenny Bednarek, the women’s 100m with Sha’Carri Richardson and the men’s shot put with Ryan Crouser.
