Sydney McLaughlin sets world record in 400-meter hurdles at U.S. Olympic trials

A prodigy since she started bounding over hurdles in Dunellen, N.J., McLaughlin surpassed her beloved antagonist and, at 21, planted her flag atop track and field. McLaughlin had twice seen Muhammad set the 400-meter hurdles world record in front of her. On Sunday night at the U.S. Olympic trials in Eugene, Ore., McLauglin annihilated the record that Muhammad had held since 2019, finishing in 51.90 seconds and becoming the first woman to break the 52-second barrier.
