Sydney McLaughlin: Prodigy

When Sydney McLaughlin made the Olympics for Team USA as a sixteen-year-old last summer, she became the youngest track and field athlete to do so in more than 40 years. The game-changer may become the best 400m hurdler the world has ever seen but right now, she’s very much still a normal teenager—most of the time. McLaughlin gave FloTrack a tour of her New Jersey high school and reflected on her past and future in the sport of track and field in this exclusive documentary.
