Faith Kipyegon closed out the 2025 Prefontaine Classic in epic fashion running the women's 1500m in 3:48.68, setting a new world record. Just weeks ago she attempted to become the first woman to break 4:00 in the mile, falling short but setting a new world best at 4:06.42. 

She said that going into the Prefontaine Classic, she was just looking to have fun, not set any world records, but she did just that, beating the world record by over one second. 

Here's how the rest of the field did in a highly-competitive event.
