In a surprise, Olympic gold medalist and record-holder Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone announces she will not compete at the Los Angeles Grand Prix.
Olympic champion Sydney McLaughlin broke her own world record in the 400-meter hurdles as the U.S. outdoor track and field championships on Saturday.
“Track and field needs a serious boost in the arm when it comes to coaches, athletes, administrators behind the sport to get involved, get a product out there that the fans enjoy,” Kersee. “We get too locked up into world records. We need good competitions, good performances, good meets. And we got the athletes to do it.”
The Los Angeles Grand Prix begins with a distance carnival May 26 and is followed the next day with a meet that will be partially broadcast on NBC from Drake Stadium.
