Following her victory at the Grand Slam Track Miami, Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone expressed her interest in competing in the short-distance hurdles. In an interview with Flo Track, she emphasized the need to improve her hurdling technique to keep up with the intense competition in the event.
"If we are actually gonna go to the short hurdles, definitely wanna work on my hurdle technique for sure and those girls are running really fast, so I would love to go out there, challenge myself.
