PHILADELPHIA - Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone ventured beyond her usual 400-meter event, clocking an impressive 11.21 seconds for second place in her first professional 100m race at the Grand Slam Track meet in Philadelphia on June 1.
The American four-gold Olympic champion and world record holder in the 400m hurdles, accustomed to dominating the one-lap event, found herself beaten by Jamaica's Ackera Nugent, who won in 11.11 seconds at Franklin Field.
"The best part was honestly putting myself in an uncomfortable position and seeing how I reacted and handled it. Being able to go in there against the best of the best and put myself in that position, I'm proud of how I handled it mentally," said McLaughlin-Levrone.
Nugent's victory completed a weekend double, securing the women's short hurdles group with a perfect 24 points following her success in the 100m hurdles on May 31.
