The Weather isn't here in New England yet, spring is however peaking her head around the corner. Hey Why not open up your Freshmen Collegiate year with a few records and now a world lead in the 400 Meters for women. For people like myself who are your average lover for the sport of running this is very exciting to watch. Leaves us with many questions now what can she do by the NCAA outdoors Championship in June ?

#Tokyo2020 400 Meter Specialists ? Michael Norman x Sydney Mclaughlin @Mike_Norman22 x @GoSydGo

If you haven't been paying attention but the running community is on fire right now, especially performances by the Poland Men's 4x400 at the World Championship.  We are truly fortunate to watch greatness executed, this past weekend Michael Norman from the University of Southern California, broke the world indoor record in the 400 Meters with a blistering time 44.52 then anchored the USC Men's 4x400 to a new world Record of 3:00.77. In the women's 400 Sydney Mclaughlin breaks her own World Record Under 20 in the 400 meters with a time of 50.36. 

If you aren't familiar with names of Sydney Mclaughlin & Michael Norman it's time to get acclimated. Both have been torching the track scene since there High School careers. Providing me and many others the excitement of a 2020 Olympics. Both are young barring injuries it maybe safe to say that the United States should make some noise in Tokyo in the 400 Meters.
