Jake McCoy is right but I am going to add this I agree to a certain point.... But it's more about remaining competitive. Kim Collins, Justin Gatlin, Mike Rodgers, Allyson Felix. It takes a lot of motivation to keep working out like that. You can't cover any weaknesses up in track
Her, Michael Norman and Rai Benjamin are all going pro.. would have liked to see them finish their collegiate career, but I know all of them will be successful
Mickey Van Gieson I wanted Holloway to get another shot at NEHEMIAH's LONGSTANDING NCAA MARK IN THE 110MH 13.00 I THINK HE COULD HAVE GONE UNDER 13.00 RAN 12.95!!!!!!!!
Sydney was trending on Twitter as usual. Sis already has a big fanbase and isn't even a pro yet. Sydney is going to be track and fields next superstar.
Dwight Love true, if you type in track and field stars she's one of the 1st athletes to pop up along with well accomplished big stars like Usain, Allyson, and Tyson. It's crazy how big she is already before turning pro.
Mier Garz The hype began for her while in high school.I knew of her father Willie McLaughlin he was a high school legend in NJ he was a sprinter in the early '80s he was the USAIN BOLT in my era of the aforementioned '80s.He attended EAST ORANGE HS.
Toby Slinkard exactly. I already know she got that 6 digit offer, like c'mon she's blowing up in popularity. No one in the NCAA is has close to her hype, even majority of pros don't have her popularity.
She is going to be a marketing dynamo. She's talented, beautiful, speaks well, provides well thought out answers to questions, thinks before she speaks, even when caught off guard, is poised and gives a great interview. She is going to make some company and herself a lot of money. Cant wait to cheer for her and the other upcoming young track superstars the U.S. has produced, in the next Olympics.
I would have loved to see her run the finals in better conditions, still a great performance! Congratulations on turning pro! Best of luck in the future
But still thats a great achievement to even go to the olympics still in high school plus her mastering the 400mH in the time that she did proves she'll be a pro.
She's got a pleasant smile and an outgoing aura around her. She's doing very well. I can only say that for a few other Americans but I remember when she burst out on the scene and she was awesome......
She made the right decision because to become the best, you need to compete against the best time and time again - she will become demotivated competing against high 55, 56, 57 collegiate girls whilst she is running 52 high to 53 mid meaning her progress could stagnate
James Spirit - with Shamier Little, Ashley Spencer, Dalilah Muhammed, Georgianne Moline it's going to be tough to even make the team - but she still is young enough to make the next 3 or 4 Olympic teams (2020, 2024, 2028 or even 2032)
Go get paid. School isn't going anywhere. You can kick back and finish school with your millions in prize money, appearance fees, and endorsement dollars when all is said and done.
Good choice, she probably could have made over $100,000 if she had turned pro out of high school. Make that money while you can; because a knee or ankle injury can end an athlete's career at any moment
I think we all knew she was going pro after 1 season. She went to a great university, did everything she was predicted to do (and then some). She raised her value to sponsors..plus theres nothing left track wise to do at the collegiate level thats worth staying for. She might next face of USATF if she keeps this up.
Im not from USA but once you go pro you basically leave college? Or you just don't compete in the NCAA's? I still have doubts on her going pro because in her recent interview with Ato Boldon she said she wanted to wait a little bit longer and enjoy a couple more years without attaching to a brand.
Disappointed. Wanted to see her finish her UK career. Female runners are usually good until their early 30s she has such a long career ahead regardless. 🤷🏽♀️
ur expecting an 18yr old to resist a multi million doller contract with nike or someone?? The pros can actually make her work for a victory, college athletes, as good as they are, arent even on the same planet as her... u cant have someone breaking world records in the college system... (michael norman ur next)
Colleges make so much money off of their athletes and these guys don't get paid to be on sports networks. Good for her for going pro instead of staying with UK.
My god! Besides the right decision about going pro, i she getting makeup tips from drag queens? Her brows be snatched! Her nose be contoured! That eyeliner! YAY!!!
Well, she's one less athlete the NCAA will be ripping off. She'll earn plenty and pay for her own University education. Smart girl, I'm sure she'll graduate.
She has to go pro next year is world champ then olympic if she run collage she has indoor then all those meet that would be too much before the world championship. Still get your education GOOD LUCK
Wish she would have stayed in school and get her education. She has a God given gift to run but that education and degree mean something too. Best wishes no matter what she does...classy young lady.
I can't be sure but I think it was anxiety. I recognize it because it happens to me too when speaking in front of many people. Probably an intimidating experience being in her shoes right there, but she powered right through it. Amazing girl.
Jo Harper She will. School will always be there, however, this is a one in a lifetime opportunity for a great athlete. Education will always be there. Her gift as an athlete will not last. Each year a younger athlete will be out there. It's only a matter of time before all these nice comments turn into comments such as " she's getting old or is old and should retire now. She's Making the right choice. Going pro..get the money. And show case your athletic ability while you can. I was joking with my comment about your typo. Lol.
Lisa Santa I knew you were joking. I understand your point. I just want to see her break all NCAA records. This young lady is are future of Tack and field. There are many others as well. I wish when I was running we had all these opportunities.
So humble, so well spoken - she’s gonna be (more) amazing in the future
Wow! There "they" go with that well spoken stuff again. I know it's a shock, but blacks are educated and intelligent, too! 😂
EmrldTeddy007 it wasn’t that deep and I’m black
Good for her......if you do something well, don't do for free. And runners only have so many good races in them.
I think runners lose motivation. Not necessarily their prime but motivation
E C3 You don't "lose prime". It's just nature to lose strength and speed as you get older, even if you work extremely hard. Gatlin is a great example.
Crayons I agree, it is nature. Time Corrupts all eventually. In terms of track though, I think a lot of athletes never reach their prime.
Jake McCoy is right but I am going to add this I agree to a certain point.... But it's more about remaining competitive. Kim Collins, Justin Gatlin, Mike Rodgers, Allyson Felix. It takes a lot of motivation to keep working out like that. You can't cover any weaknesses up in track
Jake McCoy is right but I am going to add this I agree
She's the finest track star ever 😍
monearthe$ you ain’t lying!!!!!
SHES MINE!
monearthe$ she's not but i know what you mean, flo jo has to be #1
SHES MY BEAUTIFUL CHOCOLATE GIRLFRIEND!
Y’all all lying
Her, Michael Norman and Rai Benjamin are all going pro.. would have liked to see them finish their collegiate career, but I know all of them will be successful
Speedy E and Grant Holloway!
Mickey Van Gieson I wanted Holloway to get another shot at NEHEMIAH's LONGSTANDING NCAA MARK IN THE 110MH 13.00 I THINK HE COULD HAVE GONE UNDER 13.00 RAN 12.95!!!!!!!!
They did finish their collegiate career
E C3 No they did not none of them are seniors.
Dwight Love I know, however they are done and i understand wanting to see them progress through college but they are not being pushed.
She was built for this. Interviews, composure, anticipating questions. Responses, attetion. She is the new face of of USATF.
Sydney was trending on Twitter as usual. Sis already has a big fanbase and isn't even a pro yet. Sydney is going to be track and fields next superstar.
Mier Garz She already is
Dwight Love true, if you type in track and field stars she's one of the 1st athletes to pop up along with well accomplished big stars like Usain, Allyson, and Tyson. It's crazy how big she is already before turning pro.
Mier Garz The hype began for her while in high school.I knew of her father Willie McLaughlin he was a high school legend in NJ he was a sprinter in the early '80s he was the USAIN BOLT in my era of the aforementioned '80s.He attended EAST ORANGE HS.
Time for that Invisalign sponsor in addition to Nike and others.
Toby Slinkard exactly. I already know she got that 6 digit offer, like c'mon she's blowing up in popularity. No one in the NCAA is has close to her hype, even majority of pros don't have her popularity.
She is so polished to be so young. She's already a pro as public speaking goes.
For the past year, she's been emotionally unstable. Public speaking has gone downhill.
Turning into a religious nut
She is going to be a marketing dynamo. She's talented, beautiful, speaks well, provides well thought out answers to questions, thinks before she speaks, even when caught off guard, is poised and gives a great interview. She is going to make some company and herself a lot of money. Cant wait to cheer for her and the other upcoming young track superstars the U.S. has produced, in the next Olympics.
Sydney really knows how to stick to the script during her interviews.
I would have loved to see her run the finals in better conditions, still a great performance! Congratulations on turning pro! Best of luck in the future
I mean she running 52 in 400mH while everybody else is running at 55-56 and slower so good choice.
Dare Toran She was running faster in high school than they are right now.
Bruh I know right ever since the olympics I was like she's gonna stay at Kentucky for a year then turn pro.
But still thats a great achievement to even go to the olympics still in high school plus her mastering the 400mH in the time that she did proves she'll be a pro.
Daniel Bausch She was the YOUNGEST person in 4 DECADES to make it that far!!!!!!
Exactly! You gotta respect that grind if she has injury free seasons and keep working she'll get the world record no problem.
shes such a good speaker (: it’s always amazing to watch her race
She's so attractive bc she seems so sure of herself. Shes physically beautiful too
People, don't forget, she made the US Olympic team as a 16yr old.
And was 4th ranked in the world!
She's got a pleasant smile and an outgoing aura around her. She's doing very well. I can only say that for a few other Americans but I remember when she burst out on the scene and she was awesome......
My wife made a good decision no one forced her into this.
Ron Wright she might be your wife. But that’s my bitch 😈
Nice name!
Bhris Defrozen nah
Lol mood
This young lady is incredible! God Speed.
She made the right decision because to become the best, you need to compete against the best time and time again - she will become demotivated competing against high 55, 56, 57 collegiate girls whilst she is running 52 high to 53 mid meaning her progress could stagnate
James Spirit - with Shamier Little, Ashley Spencer, Dalilah Muhammed, Georgianne Moline it's going to be tough to even make the team - but she still is young enough to make the next 3 or 4 Olympic teams (2020, 2024, 2028 or even 2032)
James Spirit Wrong Allyson Felix is living proof. You can’t assume , she’s only just started.
Go get paid. School isn't going anywhere. You can kick back and finish school with your millions in prize money, appearance fees, and endorsement dollars when all is said and done.
AAAHHHHHH!!!!!! YES, GIRL!!!!!!!! 🐐🎊🎉❤👍🏽🔥⚡ #TheFutureIsBright
I like her a lot....!!A special talent and so pretty with it..:)
I see sydney i click
Humble, ultra fast and super fine! Damn.......
Rarely is an athlete is that well rounded. I like her as a person.
te amo Sydney
Good choice, she probably could have made over $100,000 if she had turned pro out of high school. Make that money while you can; because a knee or ankle injury can end an athlete's career at any moment
nice
I think we all knew she was going pro after 1 season. She went to a great university, did everything she was predicted to do (and then some).

She's my dream girl 🤩🤩🤩
Well gentlemen, the Queen has spoken!
I wonder who's going to be her coach
James Tatum Maybe dear old dad he had Track background from high school.
Im not from USA but once you go pro you basically leave college?
Or you just don't compete in the NCAA's?
I still have doubts on her going pro because in her recent interview with Ato Boldon she said she wanted to wait a little bit longer and enjoy a couple more years without attaching to a brand.
What sponsor?
WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? SHE TURNED PRO IN 2018
This video was made in 2018
Disappointed. Wanted to see her finish her UK career. Female runners are usually good until their early 30s she has such a long career ahead regardless. 🤷🏽♀️
ur expecting an 18yr old to resist a multi million doller contract with nike or someone?? The pros can actually make her work for a victory, college athletes, as good as they are, arent even on the same planet as her... u cant have someone breaking world records in the college system... (michael norman ur next)
I agree but she has nothing left to prove at the collegiate level...
tjwilliams610 selfish opinion...no point for her to stay plus whoever company she signs with will probably pay for the rest of her education
Same i kind of wanted her to stay for a bit. I dont think shes ready enough
Colleges make so much money off of their athletes and these guys don't get paid to be on sports networks. Good for her for going pro instead of staying with UK.
I'm not big on cats going pro, unless absolutely ready! But Syd Da Kid is definitely ready....!
The Scatman right, Mary Cain, Kendall Baisden, Caitlin Whitney, Candace Hill. All went pro too soon and are suffering for it.
Randall Hill not one of them listed had a shot at a world record! Not one....!
I think she realized she has to focus on her self when her 4x400 team didnt place top 3 at championship
Good for her, just watch her win on Monaco. Get your money while you can.
My god! Besides the right decision about going pro, i she getting makeup tips from drag queens? Her brows be snatched! Her nose be contoured! That eyeliner! YAY!!!
oh honey, I LOVE IT!!!
Lol wut
This may sound strange, but I love her teeth, the way God shaped them😁🙏🏾💛
Would love to see competition btw Sydney and Salwa E. Naser who are the 400m future.
What will it mean when she goes pro? She won't compete in for college or what?
Carl Morrow yup so this NCAA is her last
Carl Morrow yea, once you give up your amateur status (start getting paid) you can’t be a college athlete anymore
Well, she's one less athlete the NCAA will be ripping off. She'll earn plenty and pay for her own University education. Smart girl, I'm sure she'll graduate.
Carl Morrow im dead
Carl Morrow she will basically start running professionally for a living now, so yeah her college career is over but she moving on to the next level.
Finally a woman with class that gets some attention in the media. What America needed. Plus my eyes.#SydneyMcLaughlin
I bet you Michael Norman could be her in a 400
Anepicflyingbrick _ duh.. lol
Anepicflyingbrick _ obviously
It stared when we were younger my boo...
She has to go pro next year is world champ then olympic if she run collage she has indoor then all those meet that would be too much before the world championship. Still get your education GOOD LUCK
Wish she would have stayed in school and get her education. She has a God given gift to run but that education and degree mean something too. Best wishes no matter what she does...classy young lady.
Just read she is finishing her education but not running college level anymore...I am fine with it now...she is too good to not run with the best...
Just a question, why does she breath like that?
I can't be sure but I think it was anxiety. I recognize it because it happens to me too when speaking in front of many people. Probably an intimidating experience being in her shoes right there, but she powered right through it. Amazing girl.
जय श्री राम⛳🚩🇮🇳🙏
Leo the Lion, badass.
She and many others can thank Raynaro Nehemiah for blazing the trail that allow runners to start getting paid to run! Called the Nehemiah Rule!
Jersey!
She pretty
What is this madness
I would to see her stay in school!!
Jo Harper perhaps you should ..what the heck did you just write. ..lol
Lisa Santa Auto correct!!! I would love to see her get her College Degree!! Thanks for looking out for me. Lol
Jo Harper She will. School will always be there, however, this is a one in a lifetime opportunity for a great athlete. Education will always be there. Her gift as an athlete will not last. Each year a younger athlete will be out there. It's only a matter of time before all these nice comments turn into comments such as " she's getting old or is old and should retire now. She's Making the right choice. Going pro..get the money. And show case your athletic ability while you can. I was joking with my comment about your typo. Lol.
Lisa Santa I knew you were. I’m a big fan of her. I have anything to say about this young lady gift. ✌🏾
Lisa Santa I knew you were joking. I understand your point. I just want to see her break all NCAA records. This young lady is are future of Tack and field. There are many others as well. I wish when I was running we had all these opportunities.
.....thought she was already pro ..
Etheric Bladeworks bruh
stiff neck face back elbow feet head ass shit she may as well be tho ..
Etheric Bladeworks ik but that statement killed me
why does she lowkey remind me of iisuperwomanii
She could shave a tenth off her time with less makeup
You could shave off a lot more time by minding your business 😉
