AND NOW THE SUB-52 BARRIER IS HISTORY. Sydney McLaughlin’s season was brief, but oh-so-productive. The Olympic Trials saw her run the first 51 ever, a World Record 51.90. Some 6 weeks later she was at it again in the Olympics, lowering the all-time best to 51.46…
THE CHOICE FOR NO. 2 was really tough. There was no question that Femke Bol absolutely dominated the DL Circuit, winning all 5 races she entered, including the Final. Dalilah Muhammad, on the other hand, ran only a pair of DLs, winning one and finishing 4th in the other. In the final analysis the selectors gave the American a narrow overall edge for handily beating the Dutch star in the year’s biggest race and breaking the former WR in the process…
BEHIND McLAUGHLIN & MUHAMMAD, Shamier Little (4), Nnenya Hailey (9) & Anna Cockrell (10) all scored, giving the U.S. half of the Top 10 for the third time in a row.
