Fred Kerley, Marcell Jacobs, Andre De Grasse and Other Olympic Stars Set To Face Each Other in the Biggest Clash of the Season at Nike Prefontaine Classic 2022
In one of the most exciting races in recent history, the 2022 Nike Prefontaine Classic will be incredible. The 2020 Tokyo Olympics 100m champion, 200m champion, and many more will take part in the event. Some big names taking part in the competition are Lamont Marcell Jacobs, Andre De Grasse, and the silver-medalist from Tokyo Olympics, Fred Kerley. Hence, this race has the potential to be the fastest ever in recent times.
It is incredible to watch many talents come together to compete at the highest level. With other brilliant sprinters, this race is going to be a tightly contested affair.
A race full of superstars
Moreover, Christian Coleman, Ronnie Baker, Kenny Bednarek, Noah Lyles, and Marvin Bracy-Williams Jr are other talented athletes taking part in the race. Of course, the headlines will be on Kerley and his quest to win the 100-meters. Back at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, he finished second behind the eventual winner Jacobs. Canada’s De Grasse finally won his first Olympic gold medal in the 200-meters competition. He is also a threat to the throne.
On the other hand, Coleman is a name to watch out for. He is the indoor 60-meter world record holder and the 2019 Pre Classic 100-meter champion. With Olympic medalist Lyles in contention, the race is going to be fast and furious. Ronnie Baker has a time of 6.40 seconds in the 60-meters competition which makes him an explosive runner.
Bednarek, meanwhile, is the silver medalist in the 200-meters competition at the Tokyo Olympics. He is also predicted to display his sprinting skills at the Nike Prefontaine Classic. Apart from Kerley, the current Olympic 100-meters gold medalist will surely be eager to claim his rightful trophy.
Fred Kerley vs Lamont Marcell Jacobs
Jacobs won the 100-meters with a time of 9.80 seconds. In the meantime, Kerley finished with a time of 9.84 seconds, behind the talented sprinter. Earlier starting with the 400-meters competition, he started appearing in sprinting races to become the fastest.
The deepest 100m field ever assembled at #PreClassic. The Tokyo medalists will have their hands full with this one.
