After Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone was inducted into the University of Kentucky's Hall of Fame, the 400m hurdler gave a speech on receiving the honor. She was also given a special badge for her commendable achievements on the track in her entire career. The American, who attended the university only for a year in 2018, spoke about her time there, saying that she experienced growth and joy in the university.

Talking about the hardships she faced during her year at Kentucky, she added:

"My year here was hard, I'm not going to act like it wasn't as it is for many college athletes all over the country but I wouldn't change it for the world honestly. I would not be the woman I am if I had not attended the UK (University of Kentucky)."
