The two stars will compete against one another on February 4 in Boston at the New Balance Indoor Grand Prix, a World Athletics Indoor Tour Gold event. Mikiah Brisco and Aleia Hobbs will also compete against them.
In the previous two years, Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone has dominated the women's 400-meter hurdles. She took gold at both the Tokyo Olympics and the 2022 World Championships. Shericka Jackson, a five-time medalist at the Olympics, is regarded as the fastest woman alive.
Having won each of her 400-meter hurdles competitions over the last two years, McLaughlin-Levrone is the undisputed leader in the field.
The 23-year-old also captured gold in the 4x400m relay for the United States at the 2019 and 2022 World Championships and the Olympic Games. She was awarded the 2022 World Athletics Athlete of the Year and now holds six of the seven fastest times ever recorded in the women's 400m hurdles.
Shericka Jackson is one of the world's top sprinters right now. She recorded the second-fastest time in history to win the 200-meter gold medal at the World Athletics Championships in Oregon last year (21.45). She also won silver in the 100m and 4x100m, as well as bronze in the 100m and 400m Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro and Tokyo.
Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone and Shericka Jackson will face off against some of the top competitors in Boston. This includes USA's Brisco, who earned an indoor silver medal at the World Championships last year by winning in under seven seconds.
