Ranking The National Records: Which MVP Performance Was The Best?


3. Union Catholic's Sydney McLaughlin, recent Olympian, does what she does best, turning in a fast time in the 400m to claim a national title 

It's special when greatness turns into familiarity. But that's exactly what's taking place with Union Catholic's Sydney McLaughlin, whose 51.61 second time in the 400m, a national record, was almost a forgone conclusion. 

Did we expect it to happen? Yes and no. But McLaughlin, who won New Balance Nationals Indoor last year in the same event, has a habit of making predictions silly. The quarter-miler bested her own previous best by 0.23 seconds. 

It was her last indoor high school competition. And we'll definitely miss her going bananas on the track. 

GOAT (Greatest of all time) status? 

The only question that's left: What's next, Syd, what's next?
