McLaughlin-Levrone Wins Big at Grand Slam Track Finale in Kingston

Posted : 08 April 2025

Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone capped off an impressive weekend by securing the $100,000 top prize at the inaugural Grand Slam Track event in Kingston, Jamaica. Competing in the women’s 400m at the National Stadium on Sunday, the two-time Olympic champion crossed the finish line in 50.32 seconds, comfortably ahead of her rivals. This victory followed her earlier success in the 400m hurdles on Friday, making it two wins in the three-day event for the 25-year-old American.

 

McLaughlin-Levrone led the field with ease, finishing well ahead of Andrenette Knight, who clocked 52.09 seconds for second place. Dalilah Muhammad, the 2016 Olympic champion in the 400m hurdles, finished third in 52.21 seconds. The Grand Slam Track series, the brainchild of American sprinting icon Michael Johnson, was launched to reignite global enthusiasm for athletics. The event features a unique format where athletes compete in two races per meet, with combined performances determining the overall winners.

 

Other standout performances in Kingston included Brazil’s Alison dos Santos, who clinched the men’s 400m hurdles title by adding a win in the flat 400m, clocking 45.52 seconds. In the men’s short hurdles, France’s Sasha Zhoya, who had earlier finished second in the 110m hurdles, secured the overall title with a 100m win in 10.55 seconds. Jamaica’s Danielle Williams claimed the women’s short hurdles crown by following up her runner-up finish in the 100m hurdles with a win in the 100m sprint, timing 11.54 seconds.

 

Kenya’s Olympic 800m gold medalist Emmanuel Wanyonyi was another big winner, earning the $100,000 prize after placing second in the 800m behind Canada’s Marco Arop. His earlier surprise victory in the 1500m helped him accumulate enough points to top the standings. In the women’s sprint events, Melissa Jefferson-Wooden completed a double, adding the 200m win to her 100m triumph with a time of 23.46 seconds. The Grand Slam Track circuit will now move on to its next legs in Miami, Philadelphia, and Los Angeles.
