Their coach Bob Kersee said setbacks that will keep them out of next week’s Los Angeles Grand Prix will not prevent them from challenging two of track’s oldest world records.
Olympic and world champions Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone and Athing Mu were supposed to headline next week’s Los Angeles Grand Prix, billed as the most star-studded track meet in Southern California since the 1984 Olympic Games.
Mu, the Olympic and world 800 meter champion, was supposed to open her season by running the 1,500 at the Los Angeles Grand Prix at UCLA’s Drake Stadium. No woman has come within even a half-second of Koch’s world record since she set it. Only two women have even broken 48.5 this century. “She’s at 50-point in the 400 hurdles so she has the speed, the endurance and now a good amount of aerobic base work. I just think that she has the natural ability to run under 48 seconds.”
