Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone, former Kentucky track star, inducted into UK Athletics HOF
Sydney McLaughlin talks her perfect race, her tiara, and more
U.S. track and field medalist Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone shares how she feels about her racing abilities and what goes through her mind when she wins.
LEXINGTON — Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone already has numerous titles to her name. Olympic gold medalist. Fastest woman in her sport.
She added another Friday night: Hall of Famer.
McLaughlin-Levrone was one of six inductees in the UK Athletics Hall of Fame’s 2024 class. The other members included Jasmine Camacho-Quinn (women’s track and field; 2016-18), John Cropp (administration and coach; 1991-2013), Henrik Larsen (rifle; 2018), Jodie Meeks (men’s basketball; 2007-09) and Corey Peters (football; 2006-09).
McLaughlin-Levrone spent one season with Kentucky’s track & field program.
During her record-setting one-and-done campaign with the Wildcats in 2018, McLaughlin-Levrone won both the NCAA and SEC titles in the 400-meter hurdles. Along the way, she set a college-record time (52.75) in the event.
“My year here was hard — I’m notgoing to act like it wasn’t — as it is for many college athletes all over the country,” McLaughlin-Levrone said during her induction speech Friday night, “but I wouldn’t change it for the world, honestly.
“I would not be the woman that I am had I not attended UK.”

Hardley Gilmore returns to Kentucky Football
A wide receiver from Belle Glade, Florida, Gilmore totaled 28 receptions for 313 yards and one touchdown for the Wildcats during the 2025 season. The 6-foot-1 sophomore has had a very interesting offseason as he entered the portal, flipped a commitment, and is now back in Lexington.
After the 2025 season, Gilmore committed to Louisville when he entered the transfer portal, then flipped his commitment to Baylor, and ultimately signed with the Bears. To end Gilmore’s portal saga, he’s now back in a familiar place with the Wildcats.
When the 2026 season begins, Gilmore will have two years of eligibility remaining.
Gilmore had a solid sophomore campaign with the Wildcats, appearing in all 12 games. His best game of the season came in the late-season loss against Vanderbilt. He tallied six catches for 55 yards in the game.
With Kentucky losing most of its wide receiver production from last season, this is a significant pickup, and it won’t be surprising if Gilmore is back in the starting lineup this fall.
