“#Sydney McLaughlin sets hurdles world record at Olympic trials<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

Sydney McLaughlin looked to her left, saw the numbers \u201c51.90,\u201d and knew exactly what that meant.<\/p>\n

She put her hands on her head, then covered her mouth and looked into the night sky.<\/p>\n

The 400-meter hurdles world record belongs to her now.<\/p>\n

New Jersey native set the mark at the U.S. track and field trials in Eugene, Ore., finishing in 51.90 seconds, on Sunday night. McLaughlin shattered the record by 0.26 seconds.<\/p>\n

McLaughlin, who is from Dunellen, NJ. and attended Union Catholic High School, bested the mark of 52.16 set by second-place finisher Dalilah Muhammad, who crossed in 52.42. Anna Cockrell was third in 53.70. The trio will head to the Olympics in Tokyo.<\/p>\n

Muhammad, who is from Jamaica, Queens and went to Benjamin Cardozo High School, won the gold in Brazil in 2016. Muhammad topped runner-up McLaughlin in the 2019 world championships in Doha.<\/p>\n

Sunday was blowout in what had been touted as potentially the best race of the 10-day meet in Eugene. But it set up what could be the best race in Tokyo. Barring something unexpected, the rematch will come Aug. 4 with the Olympic gold medal on the line.<\/p>\n

\u201cTruly just faith and trusting the process,\u201d McLaughlin said when asked to explain her breakthrough.<\/p>\n

McLaughlin is the 21-year-old who burst onto the scene five years ago, telling stories about her multiple talents, which included juggling and riding a unicycle \u2014 and doing both at the same time.<\/p>\n

Pretty good hurdler, too.<\/p>\n

Her 51.90 broke the record Muhammad set two years ago when they raced at world championships. A few weeks before that, Muhammad set the world record by beating McLaughlin at U.S. nationals, too. The crazy part: The 52.23 McLaughlin ran at worlds would have been the world record had she run it before Muhammad started rewriting the book that season.<\/p>\n

In the five years that passed, McLaughlin went to Bobby Kersee, the coach who got the most out of Allyson Felix, Jackie Joyner-Kersee and Florence Griffith Joyner, among others.<\/p>\n

He put McLaughlin on a new plan \u2014 getting her focused on form and running shorter hurdles courses.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was trusting the process, and a lot of things you can\u2019t really see coming,\u201d McLaughlin said. \u201cBut just having the childlike faith in trusting everything is going to work out. Bobby\u2019s really good at that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Muhammad has had a slow move into form this year. She said she couldn\u2019t break 55 seconds when the year started, \u201cso to get a 52 feels pretty good.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMaybe it\u2019s a blessing in disguise,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Only time will tell. Not too much time, though.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe definitely pushes me,\u201d Muhammad said. Then, she turned to McLaughlin and said: \u201cCongratulations, you world-record holder. It\u2019s going to be a battle in Tokyo for sure.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
