This year’s class included Udall native and WNBA Washington Mystic general manager Linda Hargrove and Jackie Stiles, the basketball phenom from Claflin. But it is the name Margaret Thompson-Murdock that stands out. Murdock, who has family in Wellington, is one of Kansas’ most decorated athletes, period.

Moody, NRA national rifle manager – In some ways Hilbish reminds him of Margaret Murdock, a Topeka shooter who Moody said “…set the world afire in the (1976) Olympics.” At the Montreal games, she became the first female shooter to get a medal (silver) in a shooting sport and later was the first woman to win an open would target shooting championship. “She’s always kind of been my idol,” said Hilbish. “She did some amazing things”
