RESULTS

One week after a monumental victory at the Nike Prefontaine Classic, Jamal Britt continued his hot streak at the Ed Murphey Classic, winning the men's 110-meter hurdles in 12.91 seconds, with the help of a +3.2 meter per second tailwind, Friday night at the University of Memphis.

The Ed Murphey Classic was one of two final stops of the inaugural USATF Tour, which spanned across 17 events over the course of the 2026 outdoor season. The other event taking place this weekend is the Sunset Tour in Los Angeles Saturday evening.

Britt earned victories at three stops on the USATF Tour, and with his fourth win on Friday, Britt was awarded $50,000 as the top point scorer for male athletes. The top female athlete awarded the same prize was Val Sion, who clinched the top spot the Iron Wood Classic on June 19.

Jordan Geist, who was also in the running for the $50,000 prize given how Britt performed in the hurdles, threw a lifetime best 22.44 meters (73-7.50) to take the men's shot put competition. Geist needed a throw over 22 meters to remain in contention for the scoring title but also required Britt run slower than 13.15 seconds.

Two-time NCAA champion and collegiate record holder Samuel Ogazi won the men's 400 in 44.57 seconds, holding off Jamaican Antonio Watson in 44.70. The Alabama junior, who represents Nigeria on the global stage, was recently named a finalist for The Bowerman.

Another Nigerian, former LSU Tiger Ella Onojuvwevwo, won the women's 400 in 50.38.

Donavan Brazier bounced back from a third-place finish in the 800 at the Prefontaine Classic with a 1:44.94 victory.

Shafiqua Maloney, a former Arkansas standout from Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, was the lone woman to break two minutes in the 800, winning in 1:58.72.

Jamaican Kadrian Goldson ran a personal best 9.89 to win the men's 100 over Americans Ronnie Baker and Courtney Lindsey. Baker and Lindsey both clocked 9.93 with Baker finishing fourth thousandths of a second ahead for second.

Tamari Davis won the women's 100 in 10.89 (+2.1 m/s).

Zimbabwe's Denzel Simusialela (19.84, +3.9) and Nigeria's Favour Ofili (21.74, +2.8) were assisted by favorable tailwinds to win their respective 200-meter races.

Russell Robinson led an American 1-2-3 in the men's triple jump with a personal best mark of 17.54m (57-6.50). Salif Mane and Brandon Green finished second and third, respectively.

Two-time NCAA champion Axelina Johansson, a finalist for The Bowerman, won the women's shot put with a 18.90m (62-0.25).

Paris Olympics champion Roje Stona of Jamaica won the men's discus, throwing 63.56m (208-6).

Sakari Famous of Bermuda cleared a personal best 1.85m (6-0.75), defeating Americans Vashti Cunningham (second) and Charity Hufnagel (third). NCAA champion Temitope Adeshina was fourth. Cunningham, Hufnagel and Adeshina all cleared 1.85m.
