After two days of intense action, Grand Slam Track Philadelphia has concluded. The event provided fans with some thrilling races as athletes clashed with each other in high-speed encounters at Franklin Field in Pennsylvania.
One of the most exciting battles of the day came in the 100m sprint for the women's short hurdles event group. After suffering a disappointing loss in the 100 mH yesterday, Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone was back on the track on Sunday in hopes of redemption. However, the American was outdone yet again by Jamaica's Ackera Nugent, who took the win in a time of 11.11s, relegating McLaughlin-Levrone to second place. With this, Nugent won her second Slam Champion title, having claimed the honor in Miami as well.
Another exciting sprint at Grand Slam Track Philadelphia was the 100m for the women's short sprints event group. The race saw Paris Olympics bronze-medalist Mellisa Jefferson-Wooden clock a world lead of 10.73s, which ties her for tenth on the all-time list and makes her the fifth fastest American in the sport's history. Behind her, Tamari Davis and Thelma Davies rounded out the top three, while Olympic champion Gabby Thomas was forced to settle for fourth.
Elsewhere, in the men's short sprints event group, fans were treated to yet another world lead performance. Racing in the 100m, Kenny Bednarek clocked a 9.86s, tying the world lead set by Abdul-Rasheed Samini on May 30. With this win, Bednarek went undefeated at Grand Slam Track Philadelphia to claim his third consecutive Slam Champion title.
