August 2, 2025. Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone clocked in at 48.9 seconds in the 400m women’s final at the U.S. Track and Field Championships. But she still needs to get faster.

She won the Prefontaine Classic in July with a finish time of 49.93. But that’s still not enough.

But can McLaughlin-Levrone beat the record this season in Tokyo?
