Three of Team USATF's brightest stars from the Paris Olympic Games were honored Saturday evening with USATF Wing Awards, presented by the Greater Orlando Sports Commission. Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone was honored as the most dominant American track and field athlete of the Games, while Masai Russell captured the Breakthrough Performer award and Quincy Hall garnered the Most Inspirational Performance honor. Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone was simply unbeatable in 2024, winning every individual race she contested and setting a pair of world records in the 400 hurdles that included a stunning 50.37 to take gold at the Paris Olympic Games. Her first world record of the year, a 50.65 clocking at Eugene, earned her the U.S. Olympic Team Trials - Track & Field title. To cap off the Olympic Games, McLaughlin-Levrone ran the second leg on the U.S. 4x400 squad that romped to victory in 3:15.27, an American record and the second fastest time ever run. McLaughlin-Levrone had the year's fastest time by an American woman in the 400 without hurdles, running 48.75 to win the USATF NYC GP by more than two seconds with the third-fastest time ever by an American. She added a 22.07 to win the 200 at the USATF LA GP, and had a 12.71 100m hurdles win at the Oxy Invitational for good measure. In an event that is typically the hardest in which to make Team USATF, Masai Russell rose to the top of the women's 100 hurdles world with a 12.33 at Paris to take Olympic gold by .01 seconds. Russell was fourth in the 60 hurdles at the World Indoor Championships in early March and had a rocky start to her outdoor campaign that included a ninth-place finish in the 100H at the Prefontaine Classic. With everything on the line, she blazed to a world-leading and lifetime best 12.25 to win the U.S. Olympic Team Trials - Track & Field and then raced to gold in Paris. Her Trials performance made her the No. 2 all-time U.S. performer and was the fourth fastest time ever by an American. It would have been easy to write off any medal chances for Quincy Hall halfway through the final of the men's 400 at the Paris Olympic Games when he was in fifth place and more than a half-second behind the leader, and even when he came off the final bend, he looked like a longshot to mount the podium. In fourth at the 300-meter mark and .46 seconds adrift of Britain's Matthew Hudson-Smith, Hall went deep into his energy reserves and started to claw his way forward, making up ground on Hudson-Smith with every stride. Grimacing with his extreme effort and refusing to lose, Hall fought for every centimeter of the azure Paris oval and overtook the Brit with three strides remaining to claim gold in 43.40 to become the fourth fastest performer ever in one of the most inspiring late-race charges in Olympic memory. Previously announced award winners were honored at the USATF Night of Legends. Triple Olympic gold medalist in Paris, Gabby Thomas, received the 43rd annual Jackie Joyner-Kersee Female Athlete of the Year award while Grant Holloway took home the Jesse Owens Male Athlete of the Year honor following world indoor gold and an Olympic title. Joanna Hayes led Jasmine Jones to her first Games appearance fresh off of her collegiate career and coached Rai Benjamin to Olympic 400H gold for the USATF Nike Coach of the Year Award. Teen sprint star Quincy Wilson took the top youth honor as the USATF Youth Athlete of the Year for making history as the youngest American men’s track and field Olympic gold medalist. Nora Cary brought home the USATF Masters Long Distance Running Athlete of the Year honor, having age-graded above 100% twice this year. Neringa Jakstiene was honored with the USATF Masters Track and Field Athlete of the Year following a six-medal haul and four American records at the World Masters Athletics Championships in Gothenburg, Sweden. One of the most decorated long jumpers of all time, Dwight Phillips, was the final honoree, receiving the USATF Legacy Award for his lasting impact on the sport.
