Sydney McLaughlin set a blistering new world lead to win the 400 metres in 48.74 seconds at the U.S. championships on Saturday, stamping out her territory in a new event a year after making magic in Eugene, Oregon, in the hurdles.
The steely McLaughlin took the immediate lead in a clinical performance before breaking the tape just shy of the U.S. record, with Britton Wilson finishing five hundredths of a second behind and Talitha Diggs taking third place in 49.93.
"The greats always push themselves and I want to be one of them so I have to push myself and get out of my comfort zone, so I'm just happy to be here," a breathless McLaughlin said in a trackside televised interview. Fred Kerley, who has an automatic spot at worlds as the reigning title-holder in the shorter distance, also moved on to Sunday's 200m semi-final in 20.23.
