2023 Women’s 400 World Rankings

As world champ Marileidy Paulino nabs her first No. 1, medalists Natalia Kaczmarek and Sada Williams rate 3 and 7. (KAZUAKI MATSUNAGA/PHOTO RUN)

WITH JUST A SINGLE LOSS and WC and DLF wins Paulino was the obvious choice for No. 1 after two years in a row as the runner-up… Kaczmarek, 2nd in both those big races, also essayed Paulino’s only loss to be a clear No. 2…

YEARLY LIST LEADER McLaughlin-Levrone eschewed her WR event and instead concentrated on a very short season sans hurdles. She lost to Paulino in their only meeting, but did beat Kaczmarek and had a strong collection of marks, the 48.74 moving her to No. 2 on the all-time U.S. list…

4-TIME LEADER Shaunae Miller-Uibo saw her string of Rankings end at 7 as she gave birth in April and only ran a few low-key races.
