Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone began her season in Kingston (April), winning the Grand Slam Track double with a 50.32 s in the 400 m flat after crushing a 52.76 s in the hurdles. In Miami (May), she elevated her flat speed dramatically, clocking 49.69 s, her season-best, to sweep both events again. With only two flat races so far, both wins in major Grand Slam track meets, there have been speculations that she would be aiming for a double at the World Championships. Sydney is aware of these speculations. What are her thoughts on this?
“You know, I think tomorrow will tell us a lot just about where we are and what we decide to do. But yeah. I think all options are open. That’s what’s exciting about it, and like, you know, I’ve said before, when I step on the track, it’s focusing on that race in that moment. So we’ll focus on the 400 and make decisions.” What she means is that she will be running the 400 meters (flat) at the Prefontaine Classic in Eugene to test herself and see if she’s in good enough form to compete in both the 400m hurdles and the 400m flat at the upcoming World Championships.
