Kenyans Faith Kipyegon and Beatrice Chebet set world records and American Melissa Jefferson-Wooden won a star-studded women’s 100 meters Saturday as the Prefontaine Classic celebrated its 50th anniversary in Eugene, Ore.

Kipyegon finished the 1,500 in 3 minutes, 48.68 seconds, besting her own record of 3:49.04 in the event set last year.

Chebet became the first woman to run under 14 minutes in the 5,000, finishing in 13:58.06 to surpass Ethiopian Gudaf Tsegay’s 2023 mark of 14:00.21.

“When I was coming here to Eugene, I was coming to prepare to run a world record, and I said I have to try. I said, ‘If Faith is trying, why not me?’ ” Chebet said about her good friend. “And today, I’m so happy because I’ve achieved being the first woman to run under 14. I’m so happy for myself.”

The day’s most anticipated race was the 100, which featured the top three finishers from the Paris Olympics.

Jefferson-Wooden, who took the bronze medal last summer, finished in 10.75 seconds. Gold medalist Julien Alfred of Saint Lucia was second in 10.77, and Marie Josée Ta Lou-Smith of Ivory Coast was third in 10.90.

Sha’Carri Richardson, the silver medalist in Paris, finished last in the nine-runner field. It was just the second outdoor 100 of the year for Richardson, who said she struggled with an unspecified injury in February.

“The only motivation that I had today was having a healthy race and the fact that I executed a healthy race knowing that now I have the time, because I do have that by being the reigning world champion, and all I have to do is just keep pushing and focusing in our practice, so I’m super excited to just finish,” said Richardson, who has her attention on September’s worlds in Tokyo.

Jamaica’s Kishane Thompson won the men’s 100 in 9.86 seconds, ahead of British runner-up Zharnel Hughes. Thompson, who finished second to Noah Lyles at last summer’s Olympics, went into the Pre with the world’s best time this year at 9.75.

Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone, who set the world record in the 400 hurdles in Paris, easily won the flat 400 in 49.43.

“It’s a long year, so I’m really just taking it day by day, taking it slow, building and seeing which direction you want to go in by the end of it,” McLaughlin-Levrone said.

Ethiopian Tsige Duguma, the silver medalist at last year’s Olympics, won the 800 in 1:57.10.

Rudy Winkler set an American record in the hammer throw with a hurl of 272 feet, 10 inches. Canadian Camryn Rogers won on the women’s side.

In the other field events, American Chase Jackson won the women’s shot put at 68-8 1/2. Lithuanian Mikolas Alekna took the discus at 232-10.

Tara Davis-Woodhall won the long jump with leap of 23-2 1/2 inches. Pole vaulter Armand Duplantis, who set a world record in Stockholm last month, cleared 19-8 1/4 at the Pre.

Biniam Mehary of Ethiopia ran the 10,000 in 26:43.82, a world best this year. Jamaican Ackera Nugent won the 100 hurdles in 12:32.

Alison dos Santos of Jamaica, the bronze medalist in the Tokyo and Paris Games, won the men’s 400 hurdles in 46.65. Olympic gold medalist Letsile Tebogo of Botswana won the 200 in 19.76. British sprinter Matthew Hudson-Smith held on to win the flat 400 in 44.10.

Niels Laros of the Netherlands won the Bowerman Mile, an event unique to the Prefontaine, in 3:45.93.

CYCLING

Jasper Philipsen won the opening stage of the Tour de France in a sprint to the line and defending champion Tadej Pogacar finished safely.

Pogacar is looking to win the showcase race for a fourth time on the back of great form this season.

Stage 1 took riders 115 miles in and around the northern city of Lille.

Philipsen’s Alpecin-Deceuninck teammate Mathieu van der Poel put him in a great position to pull clear in the last 100 meters and win by a clear margin for his 10th Tour stage win.

Philipsen gets to wear the cherished yellow jersey for the first time.

“I have dreamed of wearing the yellow jersey. I wore the green jersey (for best sprinter) two years ago and the yellow will feel incredible,” he said, praising the fans who came from nearby Belgium. “In the last 2 kilometers there were a lot of spectators and that gave me goosebumps.”

Eritrean Biniam Girmay was second and Norwegian Søren Wærenskjold third.

Pogacar and two-time Tour champ Jonas Vingegaard of Denmark were in the front group, finishing 18th and 20th, respectively, but did not contest the sprint. All finished in 3 hours, 53 minutes.

Double Olympic champion Remco Evenepoel, who was third overall last year, narrowly avoided a crash after about 50 kilometers which unseated Italian rider Filippo Ganna. He continued but later abandoned, as did Swiss rider Stefan Bissegger, caught in a separate crash.

There was another crash when Frenchmen Benjamin Thomas and Mattéo Vercher contested bonus points for the best climber’s jersey. Thomas overtook Vercher at the line on the short cobblestoned ascent but lost control of his front wheel and swerved into him. They both fell but got up and continued.

But it was a bad start for record four-time Spanish Vuelta winner Primož Roglic — the 2020 Tour runner-up from Slovenia finished 49 seconds behind Pogacar and Vingegaard, as did Evenepoel.

Both were caught in a crosswind that split the peloton, and they could not catch the main pack of about 30 riders.

Today’s second stage is a slightly hilly 209-kilometer trek from Lauwin-Planque to Boulogne-sur-Mer in northern France and should again favor sprinters.

NBA

Cam Whitmore is going back to his home area after being traded by the Houston Rockets to the Washington Wizards for a pair of second-round picks, a person with knowledge of the deal said.

The trade will likely be folded into a larger multiteam series of moves and cannot be finalized until today at the earliest, said the person who spoke to The AP on condition of anonymity because of that pending NBA approval. The league’s offseason moratorium on most player movement gets lifted today at 9 a.m. .

ESPN first reported the trade agreement.

Whitmore, a Maryland native, averaged 10.8 points in his two seasons with the Rockets — who took him with the No. 20 pick in the 2023 draft.

Whitmore’s acquisition is another step in the offseason overhaul by the Wizards, who have been in the mode of acquiring young players who can play multiple positions while continuing to accumulate assets.

They could have $100 million available — if not more — in cap space next summer, and earlier in this offseason acquired CJ McCollum and Kelly Olynyk in a trade with New Orleans for Jordan Poole along with landing Tre Johnson with the No. 6 pick in the draft.
