Sydney McLaughlin continues to break every record in sight

Former University of Kentucky star Sydney McLaughlin continues to shatter records as one of the fastest women of all time.

In a pair of races on Friday, she broke yet another milestone for a sprinter. McLaughlin became the first woman in history to post a sub-13-second time for the 100m hurdles, a sub-23-second mark for the 200m, and a sub-53-second run in the 400m.

Her first race of the day came in the 100m hurdles where she quite literally ran away with it.

Just an hour later, McLaughlin turned to the 400m dash where again she blew away the competition.

I am by no means a track expert, but can we talk about how effortless she made both of those races look?

While in Lexington, the former ‘Cat shattered records left and right. Her wins were highlighted by the win in the 400m hurdles at the 2018 NCAA championship in Oregon.

In the tweet, I made the comment calling her the most dominant athlete in UK history. This did not sit well with some but is continued to be proven more true as the days go on.

McLaughlin will now turn her head towards the U.S. Olympic Trials which runs from June 18-27 in Oregon. This is where the decision will be made on who will compete in this summer’s Olympics in Tokyo, Japan. Good luck to her in the hopes we all have something to cheer for this summer.
