Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone wins the 400 meters in near-record time at U.S. championships

LA Times  

Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone crosses the finish line to win the women’s 400-meter dash at the U.S. track and field championships on Saturday in Eugene, Ore. Over and over Saturday evening, Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone insisted she has yet to decide whether she will compete at August’s world track and field championships in the 400-meter hurdles, the event she has dominated, or the 400 meters, the event she has picked up this season. In Saturday’s final 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. “And really happy with that time.” McLaughlin-Levrone did not need to run the 400 hurdles in Eugene to make the U.S. team bound for the world championships because she owns a bye into August’s field as a reigning world champion. “Obviously I want to get better, PR, put the race together properly and like I said, once I get the front half and the back half together, that’s when that happens,” she said, “and I think today was good showing that.” Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone is congratulated by third-place finisher Talitha Diggs after winning the women’s 400 meters.
