On Thursday night Sydney McLaughlin advanced to the 400 meter hurdle semi-finals at the Olympic Trials running 55.46. She looked strong throughout the race and even eased up toward the end with more left in the tank. She has a best of 54.46 which she set at New Balance Nationals Outdoor back in mid-June.
Keep an eye out Friday night for the 400 meter hurdle semi-finals when our young New Jersey track and field star goes for the finals. If she advances from there she will compete Sunday night to give her best to make the Olympic team.
