GRAND SLAM TRACK: MIAMI POST MEET SHOW DAY 3 — GRANT FISHER, SYDNEY MCLAUGHLIN & KENNY BEDNAREK REPEAT AS SLAM CHAMPS

The final day of Grand Slam Track Miami did not disappoint. With storm clouds overhead and a packed crowd at the Ansin Sports Complex, seven athletes claimed Slam Champion titles — each earning $100,000 and etching their names in the history books of this inaugural season. Kenny Bednarek continued his undefeated run, taking the 200m in a world-leading 19.84 and securing the Men’s Short Sprints crown. Alison dos Santos switched up his tactics and delivered a personal best 44.53 in the 400m flat — adding another Slam title to his growing resume. Reigning Olympic champ Marileidy Paulino crushed her own Dominican Republic national record with a 22.30 win in the 200m, completing a sweep of the Women’s Long Sprints group. Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone once again made the 400m look easy, cruising to a 49.69 and wrapping up her second Slam title of the season. Up next? A surprising switch to the 100m hurdles in Philly. Trey Cunningham was unstoppable, winning the 100m in a huge PB of 10.17 after a 110mH win the night before — sweeping the Men’s Short Hurdles group. Grant Fisher redeemed a tough loss Friday with a bold move in the 5000m, running away from the field in 13:40.32 to win the Men’s Long Distance title. In the women’s 3000m, Hirut Meshesha had the best kick, but it was Agnes Ngetich who held on for third — enough to lock in the Slam Championship for Women’s Long Distance. And in the Women’s Short Distance group, Freweyni Hailu’s third-place finish in the 800m sealed the deal for her title, holding off a hard-charging Nikki Hiltz. With big performances, breakout moments, and high-stakes drama, Miami’s finale was one for the books. Tune in as we break it all down.
