Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone cruised to win the 400m hurdles in 52.07 seconds, the fastest time ever run before the month of June, at the Grand Slam Track Miami meet on Saturday. 'Just feeling 14 strides (between hurdles) again,' she said on the broadcast. 'Obviously, there's some stuff to clean up, but I'm happy with where my fitness is. For a second race of the year, I'm happy.'
