Which isn't the 200. If she improved the same in that event she would be racing it.
What? Absolutely not. Why on earth would she race the 200 when she runs 50.6?
Sydney's best event is the 400h. Her second best event is the 400. Her third best event is probably the 200.
Why would Sydney and Kersee want her to run her third best event?
I can see if Sydney was someone who raced a lot, then sure, run a 200 sometimes. But if she is only going to run 4 or 5 finals per year, then there isn't much room in her schedule for the 200.
The difference between her 400 and the other 400s run is she is actively working on going out in WORLD record pace. She's not just going out and running 23.5 - 26. She's training (and racing) for 22.5 - 25. She will get there it's just a matter of time. There is currently only one runner in the world, or in the past 20 years, who can take a 400 out in 22 mid. When she is sharp, we will see some amazing things.
