EUGENE, Oregon — Olympic champion and American record holder Valarie Allman had three throws good enough to win the women’s discus, sailing the platter out to 68.35m/224-3 on her fifth attempt and putting almost 10 feet on Croatian Sandra Perkovic’s best of 65.50m/214-11. Allman, who won the U.S. Olympic Trials in this ring last year, fouled her first try before going 65.46m/214-9 in round two. She added more than two meters to that in the next round with a 67.54m/221-7 and then went out to 66.68m/218-9 before her winning throw. Laulauga Tausaga placed fifth at 61.45m/201-7 and Rachel Dincoff was sixth at 60.99m/200-1. World Indoor champion Yaroslava Mahuchikh of Ukraine had to sweat out a third-attempt clearance at 1.93m/6-4 in the women’s high jump, but she regrouped and sailed over 1.96m/6-5 first time and went on to clear 2.00m/6-6.75 to take top honors. Mahuchikh, the bronze medalist at Tokyo, attempted 2.03m/6-8 but was unsuccessful. Runner-up Vashti Cunningham navigated her opening height of 1.85m/6-0.75 on her first attempt but needed two tries at 1.90m/6-2.75. She went over 1.93m easily before missing three times at 1.96m. A rematch of the Olympic final in the men’s pole vault produced the same result as Sweden’s Mondo Duplantis was the only one to clear 5.91m/19-4.75, leaving Chris Nilsen to place second at 5.81m/19-0.75. World record holder and Tokyo gold medalist Duplantis had first-attempt clearances at two heights before requiring an extra try at the winning height, and had the bar raised to 6.07m/19-11, where he missed three times. Nilsen, who took silver at Tokyo, was clean through the first four heights but couldn’t make it over 5.91 and edged Norway’s Sondre Guttormsen on fewer misses. Guttormsen tied his Norwegian record with that 5.81m effort. KC Lightfoot and Jacob Wooten finished fourth and fifth at 5.71m/18-8.75, while Sam Houston State’s Clayton Frtitsch was sixth at 5.61m/18-4.75. Burundi’s Francine Niyonsaba became only the second woman ever to break 9:00 in the two miles, missing the world best by a half-second with an 8:59.08 effort that was solo after two laps. Niyonsaba, who came into the evening with a 9:00.75 PR, passed the 1,600m mark in 4:26.86 and kept up her torrid pace until the final lap, when she faltered just a bit and came agonizingly close to Meseret Defar’s world best. Helen Schlachtenhaufen’s 9:17.62 in fifth moved her to No. 2 on the all-time U.S. outdoor performer list, and Elly Henes took the No. 3 slot on that list with a 9:18.73 in sixth. Eleanor Fulton (9:20.17) and Whittni Morgan (9:20.19) grabbed the No. 4 and No. 5 places as the U.S. all-time list was rewritten. A pair of 5,000m races advertised as world record attempts fell short of their promise, but in the women’s race Ethiopia’s Ejgayehu Taye spoiled world record holder Letesenbet Gidey’s plans and rolled to a world-leading 14:12.98, setting a U.S. all-comers record and making her the No. 5 all-time performer. Gidey, who holds WRs at 5,000m and 10,000m, set a torrid early pace and appeared to be well on her way to breaking her global mark of 14:06.62, passing through 3km in 8:32.07. Still leading at 4km in 11:24.38, Gidey eventually ran out of steam and yielded to Taye, but still managed a 14:24.59 in second. The men’s race, which featured world record holder Joshua Cheptegei of Uganda, started off with an honest, fast pace and Cheptegei went through 3km in 7:41.19, but he couldn’t keep up that tempo and settled for a win in 12:57.99, the fastest outdoor time in the world this year.
