EUGENE, Ore. — Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone lowered her world record once again, running the 400-meter hurdles in 50.65 seconds Sunday to win the U.S. Olympic trials.

In only her fourth long hurdles race of the season, the 24-year-old defending Olympic champion cleared all 10 barriers with ease, then went on a dead sprint to the line to break the record for the fifth time. 



Four of those marks have now come on track at University of Oregon’s Hayward Field.

The final day of the U.S. Olympic Trials offered the only day of straight finals, and they did not disappoint as meet records were set in all 6 finals. Sydney Mclaughlin-Levrone broke her own world record to win another U.S. title in dominant fashion, Rai Benjamin ran a WL to set the stage for yet another epic battle at the Olympics, and Nikki Hiltz ran the second-fastest time in American history to win their (Nikki is a biological female who prefers the they/them pronouns) second U.S. title. We broke down the action below with short recaps, but the Women’s 400H, Men’s 800, Women’s 1500, and Men’s 5,000 got their own separate articles–deservedly so.

The first time my family walked into a Ponderosa Steakhouse was in the late 1960s. It was new and the experience was great. Like other new restaurants, if the management doesn't stay on top, the quality of service can decline. The location we went to did change through the years, but in the beginning, it was great.
