Good Morning. Could never be more grateful for the athletes on our baseball team this season.
🇬🇷🇦🇳🇹 🇸🇲🇮🇹🇭 🇦🇵🇵🇷🇪🇨🇮🇦🇹🇮🇴🇳 🇵🇴🇸🇹
G-Money dealt with hip/hamstring injuries, a broken foot and a broken thumb down the stretch and all he did was show he is STILL the best SS in the nation.
Thank you, 1⃣2⃣. 💙

🔼 Still Advancing. After two days of the U.S. Olympic Trials, three Wildcats advanced. Kentucky started with 19 competitors, and after day one, nine advanced. Following day two, only three athletes advanced— Charity Hufnagel, Alexis Holmes and Ronnie Baker. Hufnagel punched her ticket to the women’s high jump final after three perfect jumps. Baker is set to run in the 100m semifinals. Holmes was an automatic qualifier in the 400m semifinals.
On day three, Holmes punched her ticket to Paris! Holmes finished the 400m with a personal-best time of 49.78 for a third-place finish. Keaton Daniel was so close to going to Paris but finished in fourth place in pole vault.
