Courtney Wayment prize money
Courtney Wayment has been paid $15,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 1308th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid. It came from eight paid finishes in the women's 3000 m steeplechase, the best of them 4th.
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.
Every payment
Where she finished, and what the card paid for it
The eight paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $15,500 is eight separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.01% of the $113,397,000 the 224 meetings on this site paid out between them. Nine of the 17 starts paid nothing, because the series pays eight deep and the fields run past twenty.

season running total
2025 is the biggest of them, $11,000 from five starts. No Diamond League meeting paid Courtney Wayment in 2026, so that column stands at nothing. The dimmer column behind each season is the running total, which reaches $15,500.

Frequently asked questions
How much Diamond League prize money has Courtney Wayment won?
$15,500, which ranks 1308th of the 3,683 athletes the series has paid across the 224 meetings on this site. It came from eight paid finishes between 2022 and 2026.
What is Courtney Wayment's biggest Diamond League payday?
$4,000, for finishing 4th in the 3000 m steeplechase at the 2025 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 Wayment 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 Wayment ever raced a Diamond League meeting for nothing?
Nine 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. Those starts are in the result tables on this site either way.
Is this everything Courtney Wayment earns from athletics?
No. This is the Diamond League, which is one series of 224 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.
