Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone, the world's top 400-meter hurdler, wins the 400-meter dash at U.S. nationals in 49.74 seconds, 10th-fastest time in history.
For much of the last year Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone, the world record-holder in the 400-meter hurdles, has left the track and field world wondering what her potential could be over the same distance without the hurdles in her way.
In the final of the women’s 400, McLaughlin-Levrone, who trains in Los Angeles under coach Bobby Kersee, won in 48.74 seconds to clock history’s 10th-fastest time — just behind Sanya Richards-Ross’ U.S. record of 48.70 set in 2006.Running in Lane 4, just to the outside of her chief challenger, Britton Wilson of Arkansas, McLaughlin-Levrone made up the entire stagger on the rest of the field by 200 meters, which she passed in 23.24 seconds.
At numerous moments since smashing the world record in the hurdles at 50.68 seconds at last summer’s world championships, she has been asked whether her future is in the 400, the 400 hurdles, or both.Sha’Carri Richardson wins the women’s 100-meter national title with a time of 10.82 seconds to earn a berth on her first world championships team.
