All Americans Wanted in NB Nationals Girls 400m Hurdles

This race features the U.S. No. 1 ranked sophomore standout, two time state champ and defending New Balance Nationals Outdoor 400m hurdle champion Sydney McLaughlin. Her 57.39 season best, which she ran at the New Jersey state meet two weeks ago, is more than two seconds faster than her closest competitor in Anna Cockerell from North Carolina, who has also broken 60 seconds in the event.

It's hard to make a pick against McLaughlin in this race, but look for her to pull the rest of the field to fast times and help some of the girls get under 60 seconds. If the conditions are right, she might make a challenge at her PR of 56.63 she set last year at the U.S. Junior Championships at Hayward Field. She is one to watch for sure.

McLaughlin is also the U.S. No. 1 in the flat 400m at 52.59. Just saying.

Take a look below at the US Top 50 ranked athletes who will be competing in the championship Girls 400m hurdles at the New Balance Nationals Outdoor based on the entry list as of June 16th. Register and find more information on the New Balance Nationals here.
