Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone's new book is a revealing look at the track career and personal life of the two-time gold medalist from Dunellen.
Sydney McLaughlin poses for a photo after winning gold and setting a world record for the women’s 400 meter hurdles at the World Athletics Championships at Hayward Field on Friday, July 22, 2022, in Eugene. Vickie Connor/The Oregonianin more than four decades, making the transition from track meets at Union Catholic High to competing on the international stage against the world’s best runners look impossibly easy.
“I remember crossing the line like, ‘See? Your season’s done. Whoo hoo!’ but the competitor in me was just so upset at myself. Why would you do that?”,” which will be available January 24. It is a moment that the two-time Olympic gold medalist shares in hopes that she will help others who are dealing with anxiety in the face of expectations, and in the chapters that follow, she details a faith-driven journey that helped ground her as she climbed to the top of her sport.
The book is a revealing look at her personal life, detailing how she and Levrone read scripture on their dates to the concerns from her family and friends that she was getting married too quickly. She writes that she and Andre wanted to follow the bible’s teachings about marriage, choosing to sleep in separate bedrooms when they moved in together in Los Angeles and eventually ending their cohabitation entirely weeks before the wedding.
“I’ve prided myself in being honest and vulnerable, and that’s what people respect most, that they can relate to the honest of certain things that other people are not maybe willing to share. There is a genuineness that is seen throughout the book that I am a normal people that goes through life, and there are decisions to be made, and this is how I made them. These are why I believe what I believe. I love being an open book. No pun.
“I was just so fearful of what was to come,” McLaughlin-Levrone said. “It felt like the end of the world if I didn’t place on top of that podium. I honestly robbed myself of an opportunity. I don’t know what would have come of it but I honestly did not want to find out.
