Sydney McLaughlin is the whole package. Used to watch her in Union County high school meets.

and then some. She has 2 tough competitors again assuming she makes the finals.

Sydney McLaughlin just SHATTERED the world
Record by about a second. 50.68 in the 400 hurdles.

Was debating two weeks ago with a veteran track writer (whose daughter ran at Baylor) that McLaughlin would be favored to win the open quarter if she ran it. Even more convinced now than I was then.

She absolutely would, so would the other Jersey girl, Athing Mu. I’m sure one of them will anchor the 4x4

#10 on ESPN top 10?!? Shameful when you see what the top 9 were

I thought I heard the commentator say that her coach said that now that she is the World Champion, Olympic Champion, and World Record holder in the 400m hurdles, that she may focus on the open 400 meters.

Track should be a more popular sport

True competition with limited almost nonexistent judgment calls by officials
