Sydney McLaughlin set a blistering new world lead to win the 400 metres in 48.74 seconds at the U.S. championships on Saturday, stamping out her territory in a new event a year after making magic in Eugene, Oregon, in the hurdles.
McLaughlin took a chunk out of her own 400m hurdles world record to win the world title a year ago and will now have the opportunity to double up with the flat event at the world championships in Budapest, Hungary, which kick off on August 19. Christian Coleman advanced in the men's 200m heats in 20.06, six hundredths of a second behind the fastest in the field Robert Gregory, a night after he finished second in the 100m final to book his ticket to Budapest.
