The Prefontaine Classic at the University of Oregon in Eugene has long been one of the best track meets in the world, but this year the organizers raised the bar by adding Kenyan and Ethiopian Olympic Team selection races to the schedule. On Friday, Day 1 of the Pre Classic, track fans at Hollister Night at Hayward Field were treated to 5 star-studded races that included the National Women's 800 meters, the Men's International Mile, the National Women's 1500 meters and the marquee events of the evening: the Ethiopian Women's 10,000 meter trials and the Kenyan Men's 10,000 meter trials. In less than 2 hours, meet records were broken, world leading times were established, Olympic Teams were made and the long storied magic of Hayward Field was not only continued but exalted by the evenings performances.
