On her story, Sydney announced that she believes she shouldn't be a finalist for the Bill Bowerman Award. The way she framed it, its sound like some of her competitors are angry about her making the final. McLaughlin then went on to say that her season was not "that" amazing, and that their are other athletes well deserving of making it through. In my opinion Sydney does get a lot of over the top attention, but it is very well deserved. Does anyone know about other athletes and who she aimed this at? Who do you think is gonna win?
