Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone declared before the race she was aiming for the American record. And as she glided down the final 100 meters, resisting the Manhattan wind, she almost got it. She clocked in at 48.75 seconds, just shy of Richards-Ross' national record of 48.70 set in 2006.
Sunday was further proof of how McLaughlin-Levrone could do whatever she wants in the sprint universe. So much so, the natural inclination is to want her to do it all. Three weekends ago, at the Los Angeles Grand Prix, she ran the 200-meter dash in 22.07 seconds - three-tenths of a second better than her time from two weeks earlier and the second-best time in the world this year.
