If you missed it Sunday night (Monday morning) and there is a good chance you did, former Kentucky Track and Field phenom Sydney McLaughlin scorched the 400-meter hurdles in sweltering heat in world record time and punched her ticket to the 2021 Tokoyo Olympics.
Temperatures in Eugene, Oregon hit 108 degrees prompting an excessive heat warning and delaying the final day of completion by nearly four hours. By the time McLaughlin stepped on the track, it was well past midnight in the east.
