Craig Engels prize money

Craig Engels has been paid $7,500 by the Diamond League, which ranks 935th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid. It came from two paid finishes in the men's 1500 m and men's mile, the best of them 5th.

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.

MEETING DISCIPLINE PLACE PAID
AG Memorial Van Damme 2019 Brussels · final 1500 m Diamond League 5th $5,000
Prefontaine Classic 2019 Stanford Mile Diamond League 5th $2,500
All two two disciplines — $7,500

The two paid figures add up because none of them contains another: a place is paid once, at that meeting, so $7,500 is two separate amounts rather than a running total. It is 0.01% of the $53,753,250 the 104 meetings on this site paid out between them.

Frequently asked questions

How much Diamond League prize money has Craig Engels won?

$7,500, which ranks 935th of the 2,112 athletes the series has paid across the 104 meetings on this site. It came from two paid finishes in 2019.

What is Craig Engels's biggest Diamond League payday?

$5,000, for finishing 5th in the 1500 m at the 2019 AG Memorial Van Damme. 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 Craig Engels gets paid?

Entirely by where he 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 men's 1500 m 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.

Is this everything Craig Engels 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 him, priced off the card it published.
