Canada’s Andre De Grasse won the men’s 100 metres at the Prefontaine Classic in Eugene, Oregon on Saturday, besting a world class field with a blazing wind-aided time of 9.74 seconds (+2.9).
The six-time Olympic medallist from Markham, Ont., beat the stacked nine-man field to cross the finish line ahead of Tokyo silver medallist Fred Kerley of the U.S. (9.78). Fellow American Ronnie Baker finished third (9.82).
The 26-year-old’s win comes just two weeks after his outstanding performance at the Tokyo Olympics, where he became Canada’s most decorated male Olympian in history with gold in the 200m, and bronze in both the 100m and 4x100m relay.
