Sydney McLaughlin with a 49.6 - 400 Split

Go fukk yourself loser

I'm forever grateful for Flotrack to let us have a free clip someone filmed on their phone.

Well worth the tens of thousands of dollars they charge a month.

Attaboy!

I watched this.

It is neither fulfilling or impressive.

She gets washed out by journeymen men’s runners and nothing appears impressive.

lol that one guy was absolutely trucking it to make sure he wasn't beat by a girl

If a 49.6 relay split in April isn't impressive, then you might need to really sit back and reevaluate your athletics knowledge and/or perspective.

You just mad because she would smoke your little sensitive a$$

Yes, impressive and a good way for her to get into great shape, but I think she needs an NCAA team to live with, compete with and train with.....running is not an independent thing like golf. A young athlete needs friends and something to run for besides herself. After NCAA season there is still time for her to point towards trials and Olympics.

Several American runners did 4 yrs. in NCAA competition and then went on to Olympic success.....Frank Shorter, Dave Wottle, Joan Benoit come to mind........

About a month ago I saw her at the new balance indoor nationals and thought she looked a bit heavy. Truth I thought well will take some adjustment time maybe later in the year she can run some decent times.

Either I was wrong in the way she looked or she got fit real fast. Either way good to see this big step forward from her lone indoor race

That's a solid no on Benoit. Bowdoin did not have a women's team when she started. Eventually they had a club team, but she did most of her racing for Liberty AC. She transferred to NC State for a year spent racing Julie Shea every day, then returned to Bowdoin.

Please don't let facts enter the conversation.
