3 Must-Watch Events
Women’s 100 meters (Saturday, 4:40 p.m. ET)
2023 has been the year of Sha’Carri—and her hot streak may just continue in Oregon this weekend. Richardson, who just became the 100-meter world champion in Budapest, will be a lethal competitor on Saturday against Elaine Thompson-Herah of Jamaica and Marie-Josée Ta Lou of the Ivory Coast. Shericka Jackson should also be in the mix.
Men’s 3,000 meters (Sunday, 4:17 p.m. ET)
American runners Woody Kincaid and Grant Fisher, as well as Ingebrigtsen and world indoor 3,000-meter champion Yomif Kejelcha, are among the fast crowd that will line up for this weekend’s 3,000-meter event. Kincaid recently competed at the World Championships in Budapest in the 10,000 meters, while Fisher narrowly missed the boat after sustaining a femur injury before the USATF Championships in July.
Women’s 800 meters (Sunday, 5:19 p.m. ET)
Last-minute entrant Athing Mu will return to the track after finishing third in the 800 meters at the World Championships last month. The defending Olmypic champion will line up next to Scottish runner Jemma Reekie, who won last weekend’s 5th Avenue Mile, as well as Mary Moraa (this year’s world champion) and Brit Keely Hodgkinson.
