I recently watched a video of her win. Assuming she is not peaked, she could be one of the best of all time. And, she is expanding her runs to include the 400 (individual). She is exciting to watch. Sydney is the same. Dominant.
Sydney is on another planet compared to any other track athlete right now. She isn't just dominate, she is redefining the sport.

Don't recall. Would have to look up. Not doing.

Understand, just think she is awesome, can't think of a better word to describe her. Don't know the schedule, time between events for recovery, but no doubt in my mind she could win 400hurd and 400 flat, if enough time for recovery between her races.

To who, one of the Jamican sprinters?
I think that was a “joke,” questioning her female genetics.

Better look, again, VH: these girls can run, look good doing it (running that is), and “make” more Kentucky athletes of the future!!

Syd’s a cute, leggy kid, and Steiner couldn’t be finer!

I assure I meant no disrespect to her at all. She is a great athlete and I enjoyed watching her compete. The 400 hurdles is so much better than anyone else in the world right now she is going to win with her C game.

The track and field teams lose money so they should be done away with so the schools can pay the football players themselves.

Not a joke. Look it up. Yes, they have XX chromosomes.

My apologies. Women are XX?!?

Been a few years since my high school biology class!

I think it would be too cool if two (or more) of our UK ladies are on a relay team winning gold in the Olympics.

XX and XY (and the occasional chick with a pecker).

I would happily reproduce with Sydney or Abby purely for their genetics (yes they are attractive as well but this is a hypothetical business decision). I was a D1 athlete and our nonexistent hypothetical kids would still get 80% of their athleticism from them….they are that dang good at what they do

You Sir, are one selfless, son-of-a-b!tch!!

Hypothetical business decision?

Those have burdened me since age 11!

I too, from a purely business-like analysis, would lend my services, but who could catch the kid, if he/she got into trouble?

I mean…did you really get in trouble if you didn’t get caught? It’s a real dilemma

LOL - Glenn’s Hot Take. ;)

The last summer Olympics paid UK in PR for its track program. I bet a lot of football recruits were watching and it helped Marrow make his case. I think a certain WR was convinced.

I was once told by a girl w bohemian tapestry on her wall and incense lit, that the stars and universe can feel vibes so you gotta ✨manifest ✨. Lol.

And w MLK day just passing, we should all be encouraged to dream a little.

Jokes aside: those two ladies are unreal athletes and they nor the track program has got spotlighted to the extent they’ve deserved the last few years

I just think EliteBlue deserves to win the interweb for the week for mixing business-like decisions with wet dreams, with nary a blush nor stutter.

Masai Russell kicking some butt, also. Not to mention Anthony breaking his own UK frosh record for the 60. Anthony broke the UK freshman record for the second week in a row and moved within 0.01 of the school record held by Wildcat Olympian Tim Harden.

When Abby, Sydney Mac (and other Cat runners) make the next few Olympics, a few of us ought to pony up, make the trip with some UK flags and give them a “Go Big Blue” cheer.

What is interesting to me is she sometimes seems to have terrible form. Like someone who just started running recently and still looks clumsy. But dayum, you look and she is waaay in front. So whatever it is ... it is working.

If he masters running routes and has good hands, he’ll be a good addition to the stars we have.
