Courtney Frerichs prize money
Courtney Frerichs has been paid $18,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 623rd of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from four paid finishes in the women's 3000 m steeplechase, the best of them 2nd.
The Diamond League pays by finishing place and nothing else. A published card sets what first through eighth is worth, the same figure in every discipline at that meeting, and ninth pays nothing.

| Prefontaine Classic 2019 | 3000 m steeplechase | 5th | $2,500 |
| Bislett Games 2018 | 3000 m steeplechase | 4th | $3,000 |
| Doha Diamond League 2017 | 3000 m steeplechase | 16th | — |
| All eight | Women's 3000 m steeplechase | — | $18,500 |
The four paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $18,500 is four separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.03% of the $53,753,250 the 104 meetings on this site paid out between them. Four of the eight starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

season running total
2021 is the biggest of them, $13,000 from two starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Courtney Frerichs in 2017, 2020 and 2022, so those columns stand at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $18,500.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Courtney Frerichs won?
$18,500, which ranks 623rd of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from four paid finishes between 2017 and 2022.
What is Courtney Frerichs's biggest Diamond League payday?
$7,000, for finishing 3rd in the 3000 m steeplechase at the 2021 Weltklasse Zürich. That is a final, which is why it is the biggest: the final pays two to five times what the same place is worth at a series meeting.
How does the Diamond League decide what Courtney Frerichs gets paid?
Entirely by where she finishes. The series publishes one rate card a season and applies it to every discipline at every meeting, so a place is worth the same in the women's 3000 m steeplechase as it is in the shot put on the same afternoon. Eight places are paid and ninth pays nothing. There is no bonus for a record and no share of a gate.
Has Courtney Frerichs ever raced a Diamond League meeting for nothing?
Four times. The series pays the first eight and the fields run past twenty, so a ninth place is a Diamond League start that paid nothing at all. She are in the result tables on this site either way.
Is this everything Courtney Frerichs earns from athletics?
No. This is the Diamond League, which is one series of 104 meetings. It holds no championship prize money, no national federation payment, no appearance fee and no sponsorship. What it does hold is every dollar the series itself paid her, priced off the card it published.
