Sydney McLaughlin changed coaches last year, moving to Bobby Kersee.

Kersee is a master at teaching hurdling. In 2021, Sydney has gone 12.65, her PB at 100m hurdles. She has also run a 51.16 in the flat 400 meters and now, opened at 52.83, a WL at 400m hurdles.

Sydney McLaughlin and Dalilah Mohammed, plus Shamier Little will feature in less than three weeks at the 2021 US Olympic Trials. The women’s 400m hurdles should be one of the highlights.
