The Diamond League comes to Eugene, Oregon this weekend for the Prefontaine Classic. The field is more heavily American than most Diamond League events so the US should have a good chance to win a lot of events. Things will actually get underway Friday with the first three events. Coming off a third place finish in Shanghai Tianna Bartoletta will go for an even stronger finish in the long jump while Whitney Ashley (sixth in Shanghai) looks to do the same in the discus throw. On the men’s side the shot put will feature both Kurt Roberts (winner in Shanghai) and Joe Kovacs (third in Shanghai).
