(Francisco Kjolseth | Tribune file photo) Matt and Jill McCluskey speak during a memorial walk on Thursday, Oct. 22, 2020, held at the track where their daughter Lauren McCluskey, a University of Utah student athlete, used to compete. The parents announced a settlement agreement that day — on the two-year anniversary of Lauren's murder — ending their lawsuit against the university. On Tuesday, state leaders gave their initial approval for a $13.5 million legal settlement — the largest in Utah history — to be paid to the McCluskeys.
