Judge Macauley Letchworth Smith was born in 1905 in Louisville, Kentucky. He found great success as a runner at Andover and received the Yale Bowl—awarded for the highest proficiency in scholarship and athletics—at Commencement. When just a freshman at Yale, Smith won the IC4A cross-country championship. After graduation, he set his sights on the Olympics in Amsterdam.
Smith returned to Louisville and served as a circuit court judge. His legacy continues off the track and outside the courtroom via a 170-acre parcel of land that he and his wife, Emilie, donated to the Kentucky State Nature Preserves Commission in 1979 for “the express purpose of preserving the land for passive recreation.” Smith named the state’s first nature preserve Blackacre as a wink to the fictitious legal designation often used to distinguish parcels of land. The Smiths also established a conservancy to ensure Blackacre’s upkeep.
Smith placed second in the 1928 Olympic trials for the 5K and hit a personal best time of 14:57.4 that year. He “amazed track experts during the eastern sectional trials in Yankee Stadium” and went on to compete in the 5K and 10K in Amsterdam. Though he made it to the final heat of the 5K, he did not medal.
