Cause Magazine SydneyMcLaughlin Sydney McLaughlin was the youngest athlete to qualify for the U.S. track and field team for the 2016 Summer Olympics, and she had already broken a world record by the time she was 20. Her accomplishments and beauty have repeatedly set the internet abuzz, but she remains humble and says that her faith in god helped her in the competition. McLaughlin has more than 1 million followers and counting on Instagram, where her bio says, “Jesus saved me.” She posts often about her faith there and on Twitter, where her profile picture says “Saved by grace.” McLaughlin is still young and has a long way to go to catch Allyson Felix for the record of 11 track and field medals by a U.S. Olympian, but two golds is a great start. After all, who would have ever thought Allyson Felix would have surpassed Carl Lewis to become America's most decorated track and field Olympian?
