What is the Sydney McLaughlin-Levron race in 2026, 2027 and 2028?
That remains a mystery.
And it’s fun.
Sydney has now run 50.62 for the 400m hurdles (she has broken the WR six times). Sydney set the AR 400m twice (48.29 in the semifinals and 47.78 in the final). In 2023, Sidney McLaughlin-Levron dusted off the world’s best 200 meter runners at the Los Angeles Grand Prix. He is world class in the 200m to 400m hurdles.
And don’t discount the 800 meters.
In the mixed zone at the Tokyo 2025 Worlds, Sydney told the media, and I quote: “I trust Bobby Kersey.”
What if Bobby Kersey, his coach, suggested the 800 meters?
Stay tuned!

Sydney McLaughlin-Levron thinks she can run faster in the 400, while becoming the first woman to run under 50 seconds in the 400 hurdles is “always in the back of my mind,” she said. Notifies nbcnews.com. Sydney and her coach, Bobby Kersey, “definitely floated the idea of ​​some kind of double, what it’s like,” McLaughlin-Levron told NBC News about a possible double at the 2028 LA Games. “I think the options are still open. There are so many different directions you can go.” He also added about trying the 200m. “I would definitely like to run more 200s in the future. I was hoping to get under 22 (seconds) in 2024… So maybe something like that. And then, you know, maybe I’ll go back to barriers a little bit. I’m not really sure what the landscape is, but I think the landscape is like the possibilities.”
