Campus LIFE LSU’s Memorial Tower (top main photo) was one of the first structures completed on the present campus and sits east of the quadrangle (above, left). It represents the University as a memorial to those who gave their lives during World War I. Although it currently houses the LSU AngloAmerican Art Museum, plans are in process to return Memorial Tower to a military museum as originally intended. The University lakes (above, right) on the LSU campus give various recreational options.

Louisiana State University and Agricultural & Mechanical College has, throughout its 148year history, served the people of Louisiana, the region, the nation and the world. LSU is creating a revolution, one of pervasive change and advancement. For the past seven years, the focus of the LSU community has been an increased commitment to excellence. Our progress has been dramatic and shows no sign of stopping. Having witnessed many of yesterday’s possibilities become today’s tangible realities, the LSU community set forth to capitalize on its success. The goal was to improve our standing as a nationally competitive flagship university. Following intense discussions among the LSU Board of Supervisors, campus administrators, faculty, and student leaders, the objectives required to reach this status crystallized, providing the impetus for LSU’s National Flagship Agenda.
Why LSU?
LSU
Walter Davis 2-time World Champion 6-time NCAA Champion 9-time NCAA All-American
“When anyone thinks of collegiate track and field, they think of LSU. The tradition here in this sport is unbelievable, and that’s one of the main reasons I chose to come to LSU. I knew that I would have the opportunity to win a national championship during my career. I was fortunate enough to do that my senior year. Our team was really close, and it was even like that with athletes of different sports. We were like one big family on campus. It’s a great honor for me to say that I’m from LSU.” “Being a professional athlete, it’s easy for people in my profession to assume that’s what they will be doing for the rest of their life. The reality is that I will have a second dream job. As I continue to train and hurdle at LSU with Coach Shaver, he has continued to help me work on my resume and prepare for the day after my track career is over. He truly is a great mentor and coach, but to this day he is also a great friend. I will always be grateful to him and LSU for the many opportunities I’ve been given in my life.”
“I chose LSU because of its outstanding history in sprinting, great coaches and top-notch facilities. With Coach Shaver’s coaching expertise and patience with me to develop, I have been able to achieve greatness at the collegiate level and internationally. He’s like a father to us and stresses the importance of not only excelling on the track, but also in the classroom towards obtaining our degree. I’m definitely a true Tiger at heart, on and off the track.”
“My experience at LSU will forever be etched in my mind. Those have been the best years of my life. The coaching staff was instrumental in my development as an athlete by providing me with the proper environment for growth and maturity. Coach Shaver cared about my teammates and I, not just as athletes, but he also cared about our well being and made sure we stayed on track to graduate. I’m very fortunate to have had the chance to attend LSU, and I’m proud to call myself an LSU graduate.”

From its quiet birth at the Tulane Spring Games to its seat atop collegiate track prominence, there are two factors that have remained consistent in the 114-year history of the program -- success through hard work and an unmatched will to win. <" KUffYb HUm`cf >f" @GI HfUW_ Field historian, wrote it best when he said, “Tom Sherburne and Devall drew the distinction of being the first men of the Old War Skule to carry the purple and gold on the cinder path. That they failed to win in their events does not distract from their envious place in Tiger track history; for they were the forerunners of a host of sterling athletes that have established a record of consistent winning unsurpassed in the southland.” The rest is history.

established among the nation’s elite, the Lady Tigers captured their first national championship in 1987 in the program’s sixth season of existence. Led by NCAA individual champions Schowonda Williams, Sylvia Brydson and Sheila Echols, the LSU women swept both the indoor and outdoor national titles that season. They went on to repeat their outdoor success in 1988. The LSU Track & Field program then reached a pinnacle in 1989 and 1990 as the teams brought a combined five national championships to Baton Rouge. The Tigers and Lady Tigers each won back-to-back NCAA Outdoor titles, while the women added an indoor title during the 1989 season. LSU’s success during the two-year span marked the first time in NCAA history that the same school won both the men’s and women’s crowns at the NCAA Outdoor Championships. The Lady Tigers pulled off another sweep in 1991, again claiming NCAA team titles at both the indoor and
1996
outdoor national meets. One of the most memorable moments in LSU track lore came at the 1992 national championships in Austin, Texas. Trailing Florida entering the final day of competition, the Lady Tigers used a team effort to rally and defeat the Lady Gators, 87-81, for an unprecedented sixth consecutive national crown. The Lady Tigers showed their dominance once again by winning hkc acfY bUh]cbU` h]h`Yg ]b %--'" They captured their fourth indoor national championship in seven years by winning the last event of the meet - the 4x400-meter relay - in a then school-record time cZ ' a]bihYg ''"*' gYWcbXg" @GI dominated the competition to win its seventh-consecutive NCAA Outdoor championship.

They made history again in 1996 by winning their 10th-straight outdoor national championship. Never before had a women’s team won at least 10-straight titles in any NCAA sport. Led by seniors D’Andre Hill, Kim Carson and Zundra Feagin, the Lady Tigers stormed into historic Hayward Field in Eugene, Ore., and took their place in history.

Remarkably, the LSU women took home 19 of a possible 22 NCAA team championships between the 1987-97 seasons, creating a dynasty unmatched by any other in the history of women’s athletics. Despite a three-year hiatus, the Lady Tigers regained the title they last held in 1997 by winning their 12th title at the NCAA Outdoor Championships in 2000. The Lady Tigers scored 46 points on the final day of competition to edge USC, 58-54. LSU picked up yet another national title in 2001, but this time, it was the men’s team stealing the spotlight.

Spearheaded by Lee’s national title in the 60-meter dash and fibbYf!id dYfZcfaUbWYg Vm >cbYg in the 60-meter hurdles and Neisha Bernard-Thomas in the 800 meters, the Lady Tigers squeaked out a 52-51 win over UCLA. =h kUg @GI·g ^iadg Wcfdg h\Uh proved to be the difference in the Tigers’ victory as the team was led Vm h\Y `]_Yg cZ >c\b AcZZ]hh @Y>iUb Simon and Willie Bradley to its first indoor crown since 2001.

That would all change in dramatic fashion at Drake Stadium on the campus of Drake University. LSU and defending NCAA Outdoor champion Arizona State entered the final event of the track meet - the 4x400-meter relay - tied with 59 points apiece and a foursome on the track. The team that crossed the finish line first would walk away as national champions of the 2008 outdoor season. On this day, it was LSU winning the team title behind the efforts of senior Brooklynn Morris, senior Kelly Baptiste, sophomore LaTavia Thomas and senior Deonna Lawrence, who finished the relay in second place

Kelly Willie was a 2004 Olympic Gold Medalist in the 4x400 ahead of the fifth-place finish by the Sun Devils. And for eight Lady Tiger seniors who made the trip to Des Moines, it was their first time to lift the national championship trophy in celebration of their accomplishment. Baptiste was the star for the Lady Tigers, scoring 19 of LSU’s 67 points for the meet with an NCAA title in the 100-meter dash, along with All-America performances in the 200 meters, 4x100-meter relay and 4x400-meter relay.
Olympics and World Championships The LSU Track & Field program is recognized worldwide for its contribution to the sport, and the purple and gold is certainly on display every four years as the Tigers and Lady Tigers are among the elite performers at the Olympic Games. That was certainly the case in London in 2012 as 10 members of the program representing four countries from around the world competed on the world’s grandest stage. LSU emerged from the Games of the XXX Olympiad with 16 Olympic medals won all-time as former LSU stars Richard Thompson and Samantha Henry and Tiger senior Ade Alleyne-Forte earned medals for their efforts in London. Thompson became the most decorated Olympian in the history of LSU athletics while anchoring Trinidad & Tobago to the bronze medal in the 4x100-meter relay. He is the only LSU athlete regardless of sport to win three Olympic

medals all-time as he also won a pair of silver medals in the 100-meter dash and 4x100-meter relay at the 2008 Olympic Games held in Beijing. Alleyne-Forte joined Thompson as a medalist for Trinidad & Tobago as he ran the third leg on the team that took home the bronze in the 4x400 relay.

would then be 24 years before LSU had another athlete perform in this international arena once again. At the 1988 Olympic Games in Seoul, South Korea, Sheila Echols of the United States became the first Lady Tiger to win a gold medal as she earned distinction as a member of the United States’ gold-medalwinning 4x100-meter relay team.

Glenroy Gilbert ran the second leg on Canada’s 4x100-meter relay that shocked the United States to win gold.

The Coaches LSU Track & Field has been blessed with exceptional coaching talent, but during its first 18 years, LSU did not have a coach whose tenure lasted more than three seasons. The program’s first full-time coach was Tad Gormley, who arrived

The Winning Streak
LSU
T he Lady Tigers’ string of 11 consecutive NCAA Outdoor titles from 1987-97 is an astounding accomplishment unmatched at the Division I level in any women’s collegiate sport. From its beginning in Baton Rouge in 1987 to its conclusion in 1997 at Indiana University, the streak was filled with some of the most incredible performances and amazing athletes in Lady Tiger track history. It was a streak with everything: down to the wire finishes, blowouts, gut-wrenching drama, all the moments in which legends are made. While the names and faces responsible for the 11 titles changed, the level of consistency and drive to ascend to the pinnacle of the sport remained throughout the streak’s entirety. The following is a look back at the Lady Tigers’ remarkable streak.

History of the 4x100-Meter Relay
LSU
For more than 20 years, LSU’s men’s and women’s relay teams have been a hallmark of its track and field program at the NCAA Championships. LSU is the only school to ever win both the men’s and women’s 4x100-meter relays in the same year as it has done so four times, winning consecutive championships between 1992-94 and again in 2003. From the Penn Relays and the Texas Relays to the NCAA Championships, LSU’s relay teams are one of the biggest attractions in NCAA track and field. The following is a look at LSU’s year-by-year finishes in the 4x100-meter relay at the NCAA Championships.

Bowerman also served as the head track and field coach for the 1972 U.S. Olympic Team and played a leading role in Eugene’s successful bids to host the 1972, 1976 and 1980 U.S. Olympic Trials. Although, Bowerman’s tenure at Oregon is long over, his impact on the University, on track and field and on the global sports arena continues to be felt. For his numerous contributions to the sport of track and field and to the coaching profession, Bowerman was an inaugural inductee into the USTFCCCA Hall of Fame in 1995.

Ten current and former members of the LSU Track & Field program representing four countries from around the world made the trip to London, England, to compete in the 2012 Olympic Games in the most prestigious competition the sport has to offer. They certainly made their school proud with their performance in London once again as LSU’s 10 athletes ranked No. 5 for Olympic representation among all programs in collegiate track and field.
GAMES OF THE
XXX Olympiad
Led by the performance of medalists Ade Alleyne-Forte and Richard Thompson of Trinidad & Tobago and Samantha Henry of Jamaica, the Tigers and Lady Tigers were well-represented with 10 athletes competing at the Games of the XXX Olympiad held in London, England, in the summer of 2012. Following his Olympics debut in 2008 in which he captured a pair of silver medals for his nation in the 100-meter dash and 4x100-meter relay, Thompson became the most decorated Olympian in the history of LSU athletics when he

anchored his country to the bronze medal in the 4x100 relay to claim a third Olympic medal as one of the world’s bright young sprint stars. In what proved to be the fastest relay race in history, Thompson anchored a Trinidad & Tobago team that also featured Keston Bledman, Marc Burns and Emmanuel Callender to a third-place finish with a run of 38.12 seconds in the final in London. Jamaica became the first relay team in history to break 37 seconds in breaking its own world record with a gold-medal-winning run of 36.84. The United States set a national record of its own at 37.04 to capture the Olympic silver medal. That performance earned Thompson the distinction of being LSU’s first athlete regardless of sport to win three Olympic medals in a career as he now owns two silver medals and one bronze medal. Not only that, but Thompson also lined up in the 100-meter final for the second-straight time as he crossed the finish line in seventh place with a 9.98 clocking after taking the silver medal with a run of 9.89 in 2008. Jamaica’s Usain Bolt defended his Olympic gold medal with an Olympic record of 9.63, and Jamaican Yohan Blake struck silver in 9.75 with American Justin Gatlin taking the bronze in 9.79. Like Thompson, Alleyne-Forte helped Trinidad & Tobago capture a bronze medal while running the third leg for his country in the 4x400-meter relay final. While making his Olympics debut following an All-American senior season with the Tigers, Alleyne-Forte split 45.44 seconds as he joined with Lalonde Gordon, Jarrin Solomon and Deon Lendore in setting a national record of 2 minutes, 59.40 seconds to finish behind only the Bahamas (2:56.72) and

DID YOU KNOW? Former Tiger sprinter Richard Thompson is the most decorated Olympian in the history of LSU athletics, regardless of sport. Thompson’s three Olympic medals won in 2008 and 2012 are more than any other athlete in the school’s history. United States (2:57.05) on the medal podium. Also claiming a medal in her Olympics debut was former Lady Tiger standout Samantha Henry as she ran the leadoff leg for the Jamaicans in the qualifying round of the 4x100-meter relay. Jamaica had a silver-medalwinning second-place finish in the Olympic final. With its athletes winning three medals during the competition in London, members of the LSU Track & Field program have now won 16 medals all-time with their performance at the Olympic Games. Since 400-meter hurdler Glenn “Slats” Hardin won a silver medal in Los Angeles, Calif., in 1932 and a gold medal in Berlin, Germany, in 1936, the Tigers and Lady Tigers have won six gold medals, five silver medals and five bronze medals all-time at the Olympic Games. Three other Lady Tigers also lined up in Olympic finals during the competition in London in 2012 as hurdler Lolo Jones of the United States and sprinters Kelly Baptiste and Semoy Hackett of Trinidad & Tobago proved themselves among the world’s premier performers in their events. Jones nearly earned her place on the medal podium in her second Olympics appearance after earning a fourth-place finish in the final of the women’s 100-meter hurdles. Baptiste, the reigning World Championships bronze medalist in the women’s 100-meter dash, took sixth place in the deepest 100-meter field of the 2012 campaign, while Hackett crossed the finish line in eighth place in the 200-meter final in her Olympics debut in London.
Also making their second career appearance at the Olympic Games were former Lady Tigers Neisha Bernard-Thomas (Grenada) in the 800 meters and Nickiesha Wilson (Jamaica) in the 400 hurdles, while Tiger seniors Damar Forbes (long jump) and Riker Hylton (4x400 relay) made their Olympic debuts for Team Jamaica.

GAMES OF THE
XXIX Olympiad Senior Richard Thompson of Trinidad & Tobago carried the torch for the LSU program by winning a pair of silver medals in his Olympics debut. With the spotlight shining brightly on American Tyson Gay and Jamaicans Usain Bolt and Asafa Powell entering the first round of 100-meter qualifying, the only question was where they would place on the medal podium after racing in the final. Thompson was an afterthought, despite lining up with the fifth-fastest time in the world of all the 100-meter sprinters in Beijing. After cruising through three rounds of qualifying while matching his personal best with a time of 9.93 seconds in the semifinals, Thompson returned to the track two hours later and took his mark in lane five with Bolt to his left and American Walter Dix to his right. The stage was set for

a dramatic conclusion to perhaps the most anticipated 100-meter final in the history of the Olympic Games, and Thompson did not disappoint. Thompson was the first in the eightman field to fire out of the blocks with a 0.133 reaction time and raced to the finish line with a new personal best of 9.89 to win the silver medal for both his country and LSU in his debut. He is LSU’s first-ever medalist in the 100meter dash and is the school’s second individual Olympic medalist in the sprint events all-time after former Tiger standout Derrick Brew won a bronze medal in the 400-meter dash in Athens, Greece, in 2004. But Thompson didn’t stop there as he went on to anchor his country’s 4x100-meter relay team to a silver medal to put an exclamation point on a truly unforgettable season.

DID YOU KNOW? LSU was represented by more track and field athletes at the 2008 Olympic Games than any other collegiate program as 12 Tigers and Lady Tigers made the trip to Beijing. The 2008 season also saw the emergence of former Lady Tiger star Lolo Jones as the world’s premier sprint hurdler with her dominating victory in the 100 hurdles at the U.S. Olympic Trials. Jones carried the title of gold-medal favorite into the finals of her first career Olympic Games after setting a world-leading and personal-best time of 12.43 in the semifinals in Beijing. And Jones could already see the gold medal being placed around her neck after racing out to a commanding lead over the rest of the field through eight hurdles in the final. But dreams of Olympic gold were dashed in a split second as she failed to clear the ninth hurdle of the race with the same ease that she has shown throughout her career. With a comfortable twometer lead on the rest of the field, Jones raised her right leg to clear the hurdle but sent it crashing to the track in an instant. She struggled to keep her balance over the last hurdle and
finished in seventh place. Despite her misfortune in Beijing, Jones showed the grace and class that has endeared her to fans of American track and field throughout her career. An editorial printed in the Aug. 20, 2008, edition of the Los Angeles Times said it best that “A champion is the class of the field. No one in these Olympics has shown any more class than Lolo Jones.” While Thompson and Jones were the most recognizable LSU stars to compete in Beijing, they were not alone as former Lady Tiger Muna Lee represented the United States well after earning a fourth-place finish in the 200 meters and a fifth-place finish in the 100 meters. For Lee, it was her second career appearance in the Olympic Games after competing in Athens in 2004. One Tiger also received the honor of carrying his nation’s flag during the opening ceremonies as former LSU star Alleyne Francique led the
Grenada contingent around the track and onto the infield of the “Bird’s Nest” National Stadium on opening night. Francique competed in the 400 meters at the Olympics for the second time in his career. Like Francique, former Lady Tiger halfmiler Marian Burnett of Guyana made her second appearance, while Laverne Eve of the Bahamas threw the javelin for a school-record fifth time at the Olympic Games. Also making their Olympics debut in Beijing were Kelly Baptiste (Trinidad & Tobago), Neisha Bernard-Thomas (Grenada), Sherry Fletcher (Grenada), Isa Phillips (Jamaica), Siraj Williams (Liberia) and Nickiesha Wilson (Jamaica).

Despite her Olympic glory in the sprint relay, Echols actually made a name for herself at LSU as the nation’s premier long jumper as she won an NCAA title in the event in 1987. Echols was a two-time NCAA champion and seven-time All-American during her LSU career.
The LSU Track & Field program was represented by nine athletes at the centennial Olympic Games in Atlanta in 1996, and none shined brighter than Glenroy Gilbert as he guided Canada’s 4x100-meter relay to an improbable gold medal over the favored foursome from the United States.

WORLD’S FASTEST FOOTBALL PLAYER
TRINDON HOLLIDAY
After recording a personal-best time of 10.00 seconds in the NCAA final en route to winning the NCAA 100-meter title in 2009, the case can be made that Trindon Holliday is the fastest football player in the history of the sport at any level. There have been a total of 90 men in history who have run a faster time in the 100-meter dash than Holliday’s personal-best wind-legal time of 10.00. It is known who they are, where they are from and when their times were recorded ... and none played the game of football at the time of their achievement. There have been 13 collegiate athletes who have recorded a faster time in the 100 meters than Holliday, but none played college football when they set their wind-legal PRs. The bottom line is that no high school, college or professional football player has ever run faster than Holliday during their football career. With this in mind, it is only fitting that Holliday be referred to as the fastest football player in the history of the sport.

ON THE TRACK
ON THE GRIDIRON
Holliday cetainly proved to be one of the nation’s most electrifying two-sport athletes with his performance on the football field and the track during his collegiate career at LSU. A seven-time All-American on the track, Holliday cemented his position among the elite sprinters in collegiate track and field in 2009 as he was crowned NCAA champion in the 100-meter dash after crossing the finish line in 10.00 seconds in the event final at the NCAA Division I Outdoor Track & Field Championships. He also finished second and third in the 100-meter final at the NCAA Championships during his career. Not only that, but Holliday anchored the Tigers’ 4x100-meter relay to an NCAA championship at the outdoor national meet in 2008 with what was the sixthfastest time in collegiate history at 38.42. The Zachary native has also competed in the 100 meters at the U.S. Olympic Trials and USA Outdoor Championships during his career.
Holliday’s success is not limited to the track as he was one of the nation’s elite return specialists on the football field while returning four kicks for touchdowns during his brilliant LSU career from 2006-09. Among his highlights is a 92-yard punt return for a touchdown in a 41-3 win over North Texas on Sept. 13, 2008, before finishing the game with 163 punt return yards, which is the second-most in a single game in the history of the Southeastern Conference. He also returned two kicks for touchdowns against Arkansas, including a 92-yard kickoff return in 2006 and an 87-yard punt return in 2009. In all, Holliday racked up 3,297 all-purpose yards and scored eight touchdowns in four seasons as a member of the LSU football team. He was selected by the Houston Texans in the sixth round of the 2010 NFL Draft. He is currently a member of the Denver Broncos and has returned four kicks for touchdowns in 2012 and 2013.

Chris Cummings
Brazell finished his career as the first athlete in the school’s storied history to compete on national championship teams in two different sports. He led the men’s track team to an outdoor national title in 2002 and an indoor national title in 2004, while also playing wide receiver on LSU’s national championship football team in 2003.
A four-time letterwinner as a starting cornerback for then head coach Gerry DiNardo, Cummings also enjoyed a stellar career on the oval with five career AllAmerica honors and a trio of SEC titles from 1995-98. He doubled as the 100meter and 200-meter champion at the SEC Outdoor Championships in 1997.
Shawn Burks
Ricky Jean-Francois
An All-American performer in the javelin during his four-year career in Baton Rouge, Burks was a dominating middle linebacker for the Tigers under former head coach Bill Arnsarger as he earned a pair of All-SEC selections in 1984 and 1985.
An All-SEC shot putter, Jean-Francois proved to be one of the more dominant defensive linemen in all of college football during his career at LSU from 2006-08. He helped lead the Tigers to a national championship with a 38-24 win over Ohio State in the BCS National Championship Game in New Orleans on Jan. 7, 2008, while being named the game’s Defensive MVP with six tackles, one sack and a blocked field goal.
Billy Cannon
Eddie Kennison
Billy Cannon cemented his place in LSU lore as the 1959 Heisman Trophy winner after leading the Tigers to a national championship in 1958. Cannon’s most memorable performance came in 1959 against Ole Miss when No. 1 LSU trailed No. 3 Ole Miss, 3-0, in the fourth quarter. He fielded a punt, broke seven tackles and returned it 89 yards for the 7-3 victory. A two-sport star during his career at LSU, Cannon also won an SEC title in the 100-meter dash as a member of the track and field team in 1958.
Xavier Carter Carter, who came to LSU in 2004 as arguably the No. 1-ranked wide receiver recruit in the country, enjoyed the most prolific two-year career in the history of the men’s track and field program with a school-record-tying seven individual national titles and a total of 10 AllAmerica honors.
A former first-round draft pick of the St. Louis Rams in the 1996 NFL Draft, Kennison was a six-time All-American and four-time SEC champion on the track as a member of LSU’s prolific 4x100 and 4x400-meter relay teams. In fact, he anchored the 4x100 squad to a national title at NCAA Outdoor Championships in 1994.
Jack Torrance A former world-record holder in the shot put, Torrance was an All-SEC offensive lineman with the Tigers from 1931-33. He earned three All-America honors in the shot put at LSU before representing his country at the infamous 1936 Olympic Games held in Nazi-controlled Berlin, Germany.

Office Lobby
Track & Field OFFICE
When visiting members of the LSU coaching staff on the third floor of the LSU Athletic Administration Building, guests are sure to be impressed by a new-look office complex following a series of renovations completed during the summer of 2010. With a new receptionist desk in place to greet those visiting the third floor, guests are sure to be amazed by a lavished foyer, hallway and conference room that have been redesigned to serve as a showcase of the championship tradition established by LSU as one of the leading combined athletics programs in the NCAA. One cannot help but be amazed by the illustrative history that has been created to serve as a living testament to a program that has captured 31 NCAA and 50 SEC championships in its more than 100 years of existence. The LSU Track & Field offices have also been designed in such a way as to immortalize the many athletes and achievements that have helped the program flourish into what it is today. 34 LSU
2014 TRACK & FIELD MEDIA GUIDE
The newly designed lobby in the LSU Track & Field office has been refurbished with custom furniture to provide a comfortable environment in which visitors can lounge while awaiting appointments with members of the LSU coaching staff. The room is complete with a newlyinstalled high definition TV along the far wall, as well as unique graphic designs illustrating the program’s championship tradition.
Championship Tradition When entering the lobby of the LSU Track & Field office, a visitor’s attention will immediately turn toward the dozens of championship trophies encased in protective glass that have been brought home by the Tigers and Lady Tigers from the NCAA Championships over the decades. Guests have the chance to experience LSU’s championship tradition first hand in viewing the trophies awarded to the team while winning its 31 national championships all-time.
The Penn Relays Not only does the waiting room house many of the national championship trophies won by the Tigers and Lady Tigers over the years, but the south wall also features a graphic illustration of LSU’s participation in the Penn Relays over the past century. It documents each of LSU’s 64 individual and 67 relay winners all-time at the Penn Relays along with their winning performances.
The Timeline Before walking into the offices of any one of the six coaches currently on staff at LSU, a visitor is sure to be impressed with the timeline that has been designed in the hallway to serve as an illustrative narrative of the proud and storied history of the LSU Track & Field program. From the birth of the program in 1897, to the early exploits of Glenn “Slats” Hardin and the 1933 national championship team, to the improbable streak of 11-straight NCAA Outdoor titles won by the Lady Tigers from 1987-97, to the recent success of such greats as Xavier Carter, Richard Thompson and Trindon Holliday, the most notable accomplishments from each era of the program are documented to serve as a small tribute to the countless athletes and teams that have helped build LSU Track & Field into what it is today.
Wall of Champions And finally, as guests venture into the conference room within the LSU Track & Field office, they notice a redesigned Wall of Champions along the far wall that recognizes the best of the best to ever wear the LSU uniform. In order for an athlete to be included on LSU’s Wall of Champions, he or she must have won at least one SEC title in an individual event and one NCAA title in a relay or individual event during their collegiate career, while also representing their country in competition at the Olympic Games. A total of 32 athletes have earned a spot on LSU’s Wall of Champions to date. Included are action photos of each inductee, along with their event participation from the SEC and NCAA Championships and Olympic Games.

Helping the Homeless The Tigers and Lady Tigers volunteer their time to help feed the homeless at an area St. Vincent de Paul homeless shelter near the LSU campus. Not only do team members help prepare the food, but they also assist the shelter in serving meals to those in need.

LSU Track & Field, Habitat for Humanity are a Winning Team The LSU Track & Field program has teamed with the Baton Rouge chapter of Habitat for Humanity on multiple building projects in North Baton Rouge and the nearby community of St. Gabriel in recent years. It is a partnership that has helped transform the lives of many families within the Baton Rouge community and is sure to continue as the teams prepare for the start of the 2014 season. Members of the track and field team have joined the gymnastics, soccer and swimming and diving programs in building projects throuhgout the year, including a recent build on Chinn Street in North Baton Rouge, working for seven hours on such tasks as caulking, priming, painting and other interior and exterior work to prepare a site for more extensive building. The jumps group has traveled to St. Gabriel to assist Habitat for Humanity in turning a bare slab into a fully-framed home for one local resident. Members of the middle distance and distance groups also returned to North Baton Rouge a year ago to assist in the building of a home for the Pooler family, including much needed caulking and painting of interior and exterior walls of the home.
LSU Athletes Talk Habitat for Humanity “Not only do these projects offer a way for the LSU student-athletes to give back (to the community), but they also help to enhance the relationship between the Baton Rouge community and LSU.” - Kyle Rose, LSU Pole Vaulter 2008-11
“Habitat for Humanity is really doing great things in the community here in Baton Rouge, and I think it is great to be a part of the volunteer labor force that makes building these houses possible. We are all honored to work with Habitat.” - Lauren Saucier, LSU Pole Vaulter 2008-11
“This year, we have really embraced community service as a team. These building projects are definitely my favorite. Habitat for Humanity is a great organization that we are proud to work with.” - Tim Landry, LSU Distance Runner 2009-11

2014 TRACK & FIELD MEDIA GUIDE
President George W. Bush welcomed the national champion LSU women’s track and field team to the White House for Champions Day on Nov. 12, 2008, in honor of its victory at the 2008 NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships in Des Moines, Iowa. The trip marked the first time since 2002 that LSU Track & Field made the distinguished trip to the nation’s capital after winning its 25th NCAA title in the program’s storied history. The teams have now combined for a total of 31 team titles at the NCAA Championships as the Tigers have won six of their own. “It’s a tremendous honor for our team to have been invited to the White House, and this is a time that I’m sure our athletes will always remember,” said LSU head coach Dennis Shaver. “I’m proud of both of our teams for what they were able to accomplish. To be honored by the President with his hospitality is a great reward for their hard work.” Among the Lady Tigers who made the trip to the White House were those who represented LSU at the NCAA Outdoor Championships, which included 15 student-athletes in all. Those being honored by President Bush during the festivities were Kelly Baptiste, Angel Boyd, Juanita Broaddus, Nedra Gross, Brittany Hall, Samantha Henry, Deonna Lawrence, Andrea Linton, Brooklynn Morris,
Jessica Ohanaja, Katelyn Rodrigue, LaTavia Thomas, Kayann Thompson, Kenyanna Wilson and Nickiesha Wilson. During the ceremony, Baptiste and Thomas presented President Bush with a wooden box that had the LSU logo and the phrase “NCAA Track & Field National Champions 2008” laser inscribed on the front, as well as “George W. Bush” and “President of the United States of America” on the inside of the top. The box contained a leather jacket specific to the LSU Track & Field team. President Bush was also presented with a purple and gold national championship baton signed by each member of the team who made the trip to the White House. Not only was the Lady Tigers’ victory at the 2008 NCAA Outdoor Championships the 25th team title in program history, but it was also the first national championship for eight seniors who were wearing the LSU uniform for the last time. LSU ended a five-year drought with its first title since winning the team championship at the 2004 NCAA Indoor Championships. The 25 national championships won by the LSU women’s track and field team is more than any other women’s program in the history of collegiate athletics.

Outlook
LSU
The Tigers and Lady Tigers hosted the 2012 SEC Outdoor Track & Field Championships. The stadium was named in 1971 after legendary head coach Bernie Moore, who guided the LSU Track & Field program for 18 years (1930-47) and led the Tigers to their first NCAA Championship in 1933, as well as 12 SEC crowns during his tenure. The Bernie Moore Track Stadium underwent an extensive $5 million renovation in 2010 and 2011, which included a complete resurfacing of the track, restructuring of the infield and redesign of the throws field to give the LSU teams one of the finest facilities in the country in which to compete. The track was resurfaced with Mondo FTX, which is the same surface used in the 2008 Olympic Games held in Beijing, China. In addition to the 400-meter oval, the infield also features a sprints and hurdles straightaway, each with nine lanes with 48 inches in width. The field event areas include two dual directional horizontal jump runways, four dual directional pole vault runways, two shot put areas with a total of six throws circles and one multi-purpose high jump area capable of having three high jump competitions at once.
In addition, located at the South end of the stadium are two javelin runways and two hammer and discus cages worthy of hosting competition for the nation’s premier throwers. In 1969, prior to its naming after Moore, the stadium was laid with a tartan surface making it one of a select few all-weather tracks in the United States and a perfect host site for many of the track world’s elite events. A sampling of these prestigious competitions include the NCAA Championships in 1973 and 1981, the 1982 TAC National Decathlon Championships, the 1982 Decathlon Dual Meet with West Germany, the 1984 SEC Championships and the 1984 TAC National Junior Olympics. Further renovations were completed at the Bernie Moore Track Stadium in 1987, as $1.3 million was spent to lay the nine-lane, 400meter oval track with Rekotran in time for the NCAA Outdoor Championships. In addition, the nine-lane infield straightaway -- the first of its kind in the world -- was installed. The facility’s improvements and new benefits were seen immediately as 12 NCAA meet records and three collegiate records were set at the
national meet that year. With the reputation as one of the finest track facilities in the country firmly intact, the Bernie Moore Track Stadium went on to serve as host for several more prestigious track and field events, including the 1993 National Senior Olympics and the 1993 USATF National Junior Olympics. In order to keep up with the advancements of the sport, the Bernie Moore Track Stadium once again underwent massive renovations in 1999. That year, a brand new nine-lane 400meter oval track was laid by Martin Surfacing, the makers of the 1984 Los Angeles Olympic track. In addition, the stadium’s signature nine-lane infield sprint straightaway was also resurfaced. And with its latest round of renovations completed in early 2011, the Bernie Moore Track Stadium has continued in its tradition of excellence as a perfect site for competition. Most recently, LSU played host to the 2002 NCAA Outdoor Championships, 2004 NCAA Mideast Regional Championships and 2012 SEC Outdoor Championships.
Carl Maddox Field House The Carl Maddox Field House is undergoing an extensive renovation project that will be completed in February 2014 that will transform the indoor home of the Tigers and Lady Tigers. The project features the building of brand new locker rooms for both teams and a team meeting room featuring multimedia capabilities. The competition area will feature the same Mondo track surface as the Bernie Moore Track Stadium outdoors, as well as two long jump/triple jump runways, a new pole vault runway and new throwing cirlces. Fans will also enjoy the building of permanent bleacher seating and new concession stands.

Vice Chancellor/Director of Athletics
LSU
Joe Alleva LSU Vice Chancellor/Director of Athletics Joe Alleva continues to bring unprecedented national recognition to LSU as Vice Chancellor and Director of Athletics. Under Alleva’s leadership, LSU enjoys one of the country’s premier athletics programs with success on and off the field of competition. Now in his sixth year at LSU, Alleva is dedicated to athletic and academic excellence, and is committed to providing the opportunities and the resources necessary for student-athletes to excel in competition, in the classroom and in the community. Alleva joined the LSU family on April 4, 2008, after a highly successful tenure as director of athletics at Duke University for 10 years. Alleva’s role at LSU was further expanded in August 2009 when vice chancellor was added to his title by the LSU Board of Supervisors. It is the first time in school history that the director of athletics has also held a vice chancellor position. Alleva is currently serving a fiveyear term on the prestigious NCAA Men’s Basketball Committee, reinforcing his position as one of the most respected athletic administrators in the country. Upon his arrival at LSU, Alleva unveiled a strategic master plan for the LSU athletics program -- “LSU: Thru and True” -- to ensure the advancement and future of LSU Athletics as an exemplary program. The central mission of the plan is to create an environment for student-athletes to reach their ultimate potential, prepare them to be champions in life and to set out goals and values for the entire athletics program. Alleva’s vision will keep LSU among the nation’s leaders in athletic facilities. He launched an aggressive fund-raising campaign to replace several hundred windows in Tiger Stadium that were in disrepair, and a new coating to the facade of the structure has given the old stadium new life. A renovated gating system on the west side of the stadium debuted in the fall of 2012 to include a plaza that celebrates LSU’s football national championships and recognition walls that honor Tiger All-Americans. A new plaza will open on the north end of the stadium in the fall of 2013, further enriching the experience of visitors to the LSU campus. A new lighting system was installed prior to last season that turns the upper archways of the north end of the stadium purple and gold and lights the iconic “LSU” on the stadium’s north scoreboard. In addition, “Tiger Stadium” in 10-foot tall illuminated letters sits just below the west upper deck facing Nicholson Drive. Also in the fall of 2012, LSU began construction on an expansion of the South End Zone of the stadium -- a project that will add premium seating, general public seating and two stateof-the-art video boards -- continuing an effort to augment one of the most iconic venues in all of college sports. The project will be completed in time for the start of the 2014 football season. Under Alleva’s direction, LSU’s world-renowned track and field program received a state-of the-art running surface in 2012 when a new track was installed in Bernie Moore Track Stadium and extensive renovations to the LSU Soccer Stadium were completed in the fall of 2011. Alleva directed a major renovation to the University Club golf course that was completed in September 2010 and allows the LSU men’s and women’s golf teams to compete on one of the most challenging courses in the country. The renovated course helped prepare Tiger
golfers John Peterson and Austin Ernst, respectively, to win 2011 NCAA men’s and women’s individual championships, marking the first time both titles were claimed by players from the same school. The LSU men’s team in 2013 played host to an NCAA Regional for the first time in the school’s illustrious golf history. Future plans include a new gymnastics practice facility, a new tennis complex featuring indoor and outdoor courts, and a state-of-the-art Nutrition Center for Student-Athletes, a facility that will house full-time chefs and nutritionists and provide the best dietary selections for all Fighting Tiger competitors. LSU’s prominence was evident in the final 2012-13 Learfield Sports Director’s Cup standings that recognize the nation’s best athletic programs, as the Tigers finished in the Top 20 for the eighth consecutive year. The year was highlighted by another 10-win season and bowl appearance for the Fighting Tiger football team, which recorded a double-digit victory total for the sixth time in eight years. The men’s basketball program was rejuvenated by first-year coach Johnny Jones, who directed the Tigers to a 19-12 mark while placing LSU back into consideration for a postseason berth. Women’s basketball continued its rise under second-year coach Nikki Caldwell, who guided the Lady Tigers to LSU’s first Sweet 16 berth in five years. The 2013 Fighting Tiger baseball team established a school record for victories with 57 and earned the school’s 16th College World Series appearance while capturing SEC Western Division and SEC Tournament titles. The softball squad won the SEC West and played host to an NCAA Regional in Tiger Park before record crowds. The LSU gymnastics team reached the prestigious Super Six for the third time in six seasons, and the women’s track team, led by Bowerman Award winner and national sprint champion Kimberlyn Duncan, placed fourth in the final NCAA Outdoor standings. But the 2012-13 year was about more than just athletic success. Living up to Alleva’s mantra of “competition, classroom, community,” LSU studentathletes logged more than 4,475 hours in community service work across 20 sports through LSU’s Geaux Givers program. And a total of 89 proud Tigers received their degrees from the University during LSU commencement ceremonies in December and May. The Tigers in 2011-12 finished fourth in both the men’s and women’s Capital
One Cup competition that identifies athletic excellence. LSU was one of only two schools in the country – and the only one in the SEC -- to rank in the top four in both categories. Eighteen of the Tigers’ 20 varsity sports participated in NCAA postseason competition in 2011-12. The year was highlighted by the football team’s undefeated regular season, an SEC championship and an appearance in the BCS National Championship Game. The Lady Tiger track and field team captured the SEC championship while the LSU softball squad advanced to the Women’s College World Series. The Fighting Tiger baseball team won the 2012 SEC championship, and LSU led the nation in attendance for the 17th-straight season. The 2011-12 season marked the first time in school history that LSU won the SEC title in both football and baseball in the same athletic year. Outstanding performances of the 2010-11 athletic season included the exploits of the Fighting Tiger football squad that posted an 11-2 mark – including a Cotton Bowl victory – and finished the season ranked No. 8 in the nation. The year also featured Top 5 national finishes both indoors and outdoors by the men’s and women’s track and field teams. In 2008-09, all 20 LSU sports competed in NCAA postseason play for the first time in school history and the Tiger baseball team won the national championship. LSU ranked second among Southeastern Conference teams in the Learfield Director’s Cup All-Sports standings and finished in the Top 20 for the sixth year in a row. With a strong commitment to academics, Alleva ensures that the Cox Communications Academic Center for Student-Athletes is a first-class facility that provides student-athletes the resources necessary for success in the classroom and personal development. The facility was recently enhanced by the addition of a media training center that gives student-athletes valuable assistance in improving their communications skills. And with a strong emphasis on community service and outreach programs, the implementation under Alleva’s direction of the “Geaux Givers” program fosters a relationship between the local community and LSU studentathletes, who regularly participate in philanthropic events. In addition, Alleva has bolstered the department’s L-Club program to reach out and connect with former student-athletes. Alleva oversees a staff of outstanding coaches and he has made
critical additions to LSU’s coaching staff in recent years. He hired former LSU guard Johnny Jones in April 2012 to breathe new life and enthusiasm into the men’s basketball program and last year added Julia Sell as the new women’s tennis coach. In 2011, he lured the dynamic Nikki Caldwell to LSU to coach the Lady Tiger basketball team and then hired Beth Torina to direct the Tiger softball program, both of whom immediately returned their respective programs to NCAA postseason success. Alleva is an innovator with bold ideas that benefit not only LSU but all of Greater Baton Rouge. He has been instrumental in the planning of the Bayou Country Superfest, a two-day country music concert and festival held in Tiger Stadium each spring. The event attracts nearly 100,000 visitors to the LSU campus and makes a tremendous economic impact upon the local community. Alleva has served on numerous national committees throughout his career including the Football Bowl Certification Committee, the NCAA Division I Championships/Competition Cabinet and several Southeastern Conference and Atlantic Coast Conference committees. He became director of athletics at Duke in 1998 and his impressive tenure there propelled the University into the ranks of America’s top allaround collegiate programs. Among his outstanding list of accomplishments includes the greatest 10-year period in Duke Athletics, winning more ACC and NCAA championships than in any other decade in school history. Alleva, whose hometown is Suffern, N.Y., majored in Finance at Lehigh University and received his bachelor’s degree in 1975. While at Lehigh, Alleva was the quarterback of the football team and team captain in 1974. Alleva also played on the Lehigh baseball team. He served as a graduate assistant football coach and earned an MBA in 1976. While at Duke, Alleva played a key role in Durham’s community sports scene. He started Little League Baseball in Durham more than 20 years ago, and also began the American Legion baseball program. He is a member of the North Carolina American Legion Hall of Fame, Suffern High School Hall of Fame and the Rockland County Hall of Fame. Alleva and his wife, Annie, have three children, J.D., Jeff and Jenny. Joe and Annie recently welcomed their first grandchild, Harper, the daughter of Jenny and husband Kyle Young.

2014 Men’s Season Preview
Returning Firepower TIGERS RETURN ONE OF NATION’S TOP TEAMS IN 2014 The Tigers featured a balanced attack while earning yet another top-10 team finish with seventh place overall at the NCAA Division I Outdoor Track & Field Championships to finish off the 2013 season. Leading the way were nine All-Americans scoring in events ranging from the sprints and relays to the jumps and throws as the Tigers again established their position as one of the premier teams in all of collegiate track and field. They will follow that formula for success again in 2014 as they return seven of their nine All-Americans from last year while welcoming one of the nation’s top recruiting classes to Baton Rouge to help fuel a national championship run this season. Led by the likes of Aaron Ernest, Rodney Brown and their powerful relay teams as NCAA event contenders, the pieces are in place for the Tigers to contend for their first national championship in 10 years. Sprints/Relays The foundation of the LSU Track & Field program has been built on its success in the sprints and relays as the Tigers feature one of the more talented squads each year in their quest for a national championship. This year’s squad will be no different as LSU’s sprint group is poised to score points at the NCAA Championships in each event ranging from the 100 meters, 200 meters and 400 meters to both the 4x100-meter and 4x400-meter relays. Junior Aaron Ernest is a rising star in collegiate track and field after earning a trio of All-America honors in each of his first two seasons with the Tigers. He returns to the squad as a national championship contender in both the 100 meters and 200 meters while also leading LSU’s title-contending sprint relay team this season.

and 200 meters, Ernest is certainly one of the NCAA’s top returning short sprinters in the wake of another exceptional season with the Tigers a year ago. He was crowned the SEC Indoor champion in the 200-meter dash while running an indoor personal record of 20.53 seconds in the conference final before earning his first career AllAmerica honor in the event at the NCAA Indoor Championships. Ernest followed outdoors with a pair of All-America honors by taking seventh place in the 100-meter dash and leading the team to fourth place in the 4x100-meter relay at the NCAA Outdoor Championships. Ernest sprinted to career-best times of 10.04 wind-aided in the 100 meters and 20.36 legal in the 200 meters to continue his progression as a member of the LSU program. The Tigers return two other members of their All-American sprint relay team along with Ernest as senior Shermund Allsop and sophomore Nethaneel Mitchell-Blake give the Tigers what could be a title-contending relay team once again this spring. With former NCAA long jump champion Damar Forbes running the leadoff leg, Ernest ran the second leg, Mitchell-Blake ran the third leg and Allsop ran the anchor leg for the team that ran won the SEC Outdoor crown with a time of 38.98 and All-America honors with a seasonal-best time of 38.78 at the national meet. Mitchell-Blake was also an NCAA semifinalist in the 200 meters in his rookie season with the Tigers a year ago after running a best of 20.76 during the collegiate season. He then ran a new PR of 20.62 in winning the silver medal in the event for Great Britain at the European Junior Championships last summer to wrap up his freshman season. Mitchell-Blake is also sure to provide the Tigers with depth in the 4x400-

meter relay with his exceptional range after running on the team at the SEC Indoor Championships a year ago. The Tigers return a stable of 400meter runners who look to score points for the squad in both the open quarter and mile relay, led by returning junior All-American Quincy Downing. The converted 800-meter runner blasted a lifetime PR of 45.87 for a 10th-place finish in the national semifinal of the 400 meters during the 2013 outdoor season while emerging as one of the nation’s top quartermilers. He earned All-America honors as the leadoff leg on LSU’s 4x400-meter relays at both the NCAA Indoor and NCAA Outdoor Championships. Also returning to the mile relay pool are sophomores Darrell Bush and Cyril Grayson as the Tigers will push for All-America honors once again in 2014. Bush set a lifetime best of 46.15 as an NCAA quarterfinalist in the 400-meter dash a year ago, while Grayson ran his seasonal-best split of 45.99 on the third leg of LSU’s foursome at the NCAA Outdoor Championships. The Tigers are excited to welcome one of the rising 400-meter talents in the United States as Morgan City, La., native Vernon Norwood has returned to his home state following a two-year stint at junior college powerhouse South Plains College in 2012 and 2013. Norwood earned six All-America honors at South Plains while competing at the National Junior College Athletic Association during his two JUCO seasons. A three-time NJCAA champion as a member of South Plains’ 4x400meter relay team, Norwood captured the NCAA Outdoor silver medal in the 400 meters as the national runner-up in each of the last two years and set personal bests of 20.93 in the 200 meters and 45.56 in the 400 meters at South Plains. Also joining the program as a freshman is Class of 2013 recruit
Tremayne Acy of Dallas, Texas, who signed with the Tigers last spring with personal bests of 10.41 in the 100 meters and 20.98 in the 200 meters during his prep career at DeSoto High School. Hurdles The Tigers return their entire stable of hurdlers from a year ago as juniors Quincy Downing and Joshua Thompson and sophomore Joshua Lamers look to continue their development as NCAA Championships qualifiers during the 2014 season. A native of Cleveland, Ohio, Downing has made his name as one of the NCAA’s premier 400-meter runners during his collegiate career after breaking 46 seconds and advancing to the national semifinals in the event a year ago. But in an attempt to help the team, Downing also tried his hand at running the 400meter hurdles during the championship season in 2013. After running the 400 hurdles for the first time in his collegiate career at the LSU Alumni Gold during the regular season, Downing raced to a personal best of 52.77 in the qualifying round at the SEC Championships before advancing to his first conference final in the event where ended in seventh place in the event. Downing looks to double in both the 400 meters and 400 hurdles once again outdoors this spring in his junior season as one of the most versatile athletes on the team in 2014. The Tigers also welcome Thompson and Lamers back to the squad for the 2014 season in the wake of their debut season with the program a year ago. After spending his freshman season at the University of Pittsburgh, Thompson joined the Tigers in January of last year as the team prepared to kick off its 2013 indoor season. He set bests of 7.79 in the 60 hurdles and
Quincy Downing 13.80 in the 110 hurdles at Pittsburgh before transferring to LSU last season. He qualified for the final of the 60 hurdles in his debut at the SEC Indoor Championships before also competing in the 110 hurdles outdoors at the conference meet. Lamers nearly joined his teammate in the final of the 60-meter hurdles at the SEC Indoor Championships a year ago after running a PR of 8.08 in the qualifying round. Lamers signed with LSU after a record-setting prep career at Calvary Baptist Academy in Shreveport, La. He was one of the nation’s top-10 ranked recruits in the 110 hurdles when he inked with the Tigers. Middle Distance/Distance The Tigers have built a strong tradition in the middle distance events over the years, and they will compete during the 2013 season with a pair of 800-meter runners who will look to make their mark on the program in senior Julian Parker and freshman Blair Henderson. Parker proved to be one of the SEC’s top performers in his first season with the Tigers a year ago after running a seasonal best of 1 minute, 50.98 seconds in his first 800-meter race in an LSU uniform at the LSU Relays early in the 2013 outdoor season. He owns a lifetime best time of 1:50.32 that he set during the 2012 season as a freshman at South Plains College. The Tigers are also excited to welcome one of the nation’s top 800meter recruits from a year ago as Henderson joins the program following a brilliant prep career at St. Louis Catholic High School in Lake Charles, La. Henderson set PRs of 1:52.22 indoors and 1:50.47 outdoors and was the No. 8-ranked high school performer nationally during the 2013 outdoor season. Henderson captured back-to-back Louisiana Class 4A state championships during the outdoor season in the 800 meters, including a state-meet-record run of 1:51.16 as a junior in 2012 where he emerged as one of the nation’s top young talents at St. Louis Catholic High School. Headlining LSU’s distance crew is junior standout Philip Primeaux, who is a returning point scorer at the SEC Outdoor Championships after advancing to his first career conference final in the
1,500-meter run a year ago. The Baton Rouge native raced to a PR of 3:52.87 with his performance in the qualifying round at the SEC Championships before taking eighth place overall in the final and scoring one point for the Tigers at the conference meet. A 1,500-meter specialist outdoors, Primeaux is also one of the team’s leading performers in the mile and 3,000 meters during the indoor season in 2014. Jumps The 2013 season closed the book on one of the storied careers in the history of the LSU Track & Field program as Tiger great Damar Forbes wrapped up a brilliant four years in Baton Rouge by sweeping SEC Outdoor and NCAA Outdoor championships in the long jump for 2013. Forbes certainly went out with a bang as he saved his two farthest jumps in sweeping gold medals with wind-aided leaps of 27 feet, 4 ½ inches at the SEC Outdoor Championships and 27-4 ¾ at the NCAA Outdoor Championships in his final appearance as an LSU Tiger. He raised his wind-legal personal best to 27-0 ¾ last summer while winning the Jamaican long jump title in qualifying for the IAAF World Championships in Athletics for the second time. Forbes trails only 2004 Olympic silver medalist John Moffitt on LSU’s alltime list in the men’s long jump with his career-best mark of 27-0 ¾. Moffitt set the school record of 27-9 ¾ in a silvermedal-winning performance at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens, Greece. Not only did Forbes sweep SEC and NCAA titles in the long jump, but he also captured a conference title and earned All-America honors as the leadoff leg of LSU’s 4x100-meter relay for the 2013 outdoor season. He went out as a sixtime All-American and six-time All-SEC athlete in his four seasons with the Tigers from 2010-13. While the Tigers will certainly miss having Forbes lead the way in the jumps during the 2014 season, they return a talented squad featuring the likes of returning NCAA qualifiers Fitzroy Dunkley in the triple jump and Andreas Duplantis in the pole vault in the new season. A native of Trelawny, Jamaica, Dunkley arrived at LSU in January of last year and quickly established himself as one of the SEC’s top high jump and triple
Rodney Brown
Fitzroy Dunkley jump prospects while he set personal bests of 6-11 ¾ and 51-5, respectively, during his rookie season. Despite qualifying as the No. 47 seed out of 48 competitors in the triple jump at the NCAA East Preliminary Rounds in 2013, Dunkley set a nearly two-foot PR of 51-5 in the event to take third place and claim a spot in the NCAA semifinals at the NCAA Outdoor Championships in his debut. Dunkley looks to build on his early success following a strong fall training campaign and will certainly lead the way for the Tigers in the jumps in 2014. Duplantis has quickly emerged as an All-America candidate as one of the nation’s elite pole vaulters after setting personal bests of 17-9 ¼ indoors and 17-7 outdoors as a sophomore last season. After competing in the national semifinals at the NCAA Outdoor Championships during a breakout freshman season in 2012, he qualified for the NCAA East Preliminary Rounds again last spring. He also won the SEC Indoor bronze medal and ranked among the Top 20 pole vaulters for the 2013 indoor season while just missing a spot at the NCAA Indoor Championships. Duplantis will be joined by two other 17-foot pole vaulters in the 2013 season as seniors Joseph Caraway (17-5) and Jaora Johnson (17-3) have All-American aspirations during their final season with the Tigers in 2014. The Tigers are also set to welcome two standout recruits this season as Mandeville, La., native Cameron Robichaux owns a personal record of 16-0 in the pole vault and South Brunswick Township, N.J., native Jonathan Pitt has set personal bests of 23-3 in the long jump and 49-7 ½ in the triple jump during their respective high school careers. Throws Rodney Brown certainly continued a strong tradition of LSU throwers with his performance as a sophomore a year ago as he established himself as a national title contender in the discus while heading into the 2014 season. Brown became the first LSU Tiger in 20 years to be crowned the SEC discus champion and the first LSU Tiger in 15 years to earn All-America honors in the event with his performance a year ago. He opened the 2013 outdoor season by throwing a personal best of 197-1 at
the Louisiana Classic meet in Lafayette and never looked back while also raising his PR to 206-3 in a runner-up finish at the Texas Relays. He finished the season within three feet of LSU’s school record of 209-1 set by former NCAA champion John Nichols in 1989. Brown was crowned the SEC discus champion with his gold-medal-winning toss of 203-1 at the SEC Outdoor Championships before posting 199-4 at the NCAA Outdoor Championships to earn his first career All-America honor with a fourth-place finish nationally in the event. A native of Chappell Hill, Texas, Brown is also an emerging talent in the shot put while setting personal bests of 57-5 indoors and 57-10 ½ outdoors in the event a year ago. He scored for the Tigers in the shot put by claiming eighth place at the SEC Indoor Championships and seventh place at the SEC Outdoor Championships in his secondary event. Joining Brown as a leader of LSU’s throws group during the 2014 season is fellow junior Jeremy Tuttle, who competed in both the javelin and hammer throws at the NCAA East Preliminary Rounds as a sophomore a year ago. Tuttle also scored points for the Tigers in each of the events at the SEC Outdoor Championships before competing at the NCAA Outdoor meet. A native of Sierra Vista, Ariz., Tuttle will contend for his first career AllAmerica honors as a junior this spring as he enters the season with personal records of 165-10 in the discus, 201-0 in the hammer and 227-6 in the javelin as one of the nation’s most versatile throws prospects. The Tigers feature a trio of sophomore javelin throwers who are sure to challenge for one of the eight scoring positions at the SEC Championships with Terry Hughes (19810), Garrett LeBouef (184-8) and Philip Moody (183-11) returning to the squad this season. Joining the program for the first time in 2014 is redshirt freshman transfer Jeremy Octeau of Westerly, R.I. Octeau spent his freshman season at Northeastern University in Boston while he competed in the shot put indoors before redshirting outdoors in 2013. Octeau will specialize in the discus during the outdoor season as he gives the Tigers strong depth while joining Brown and Tuttle in the event.

2014 Women’s Season Preview
Reloaded
LADY TIGERS RELOAD FOR CHAMPIONSHIP RUN IN 2014 Much will be written heading into the 2014 season about which Lady Tigers will step up to fill the void left behind by the departures of such program greats as Kimberlyn Duncan, Natoya Goule and Charlene Lipsey from last year’s squad. After all, Duncan swept NCAA titles in the 200 meters, Goule swept NCAA titles in the 800 meters and Lipsey added All-America honors in the 800 meters during both the indoor and outdoor seasons a year ago. But the Lady Tigers return six AllAmericans from a team that earned a third-place finish indoors and a fourthplace finish outdoors at the NCAA Championships, while welcoming one of the nation’s top recruiting classes as they reload for another title run in 2014. Sprints/Relays The Lady Tigers have built the success of their program on developing the nation’s premier sprinters at the collegiate level year in and year out, and the 2013 season witnessed the end of an era as Kimberlyn Duncan ended her career as one of the alltime greats to lace up a pair of spikes for the Lady Tigers. Duncan cemented her legacy as one of the NCAA’s great sprinters with another history-making senior season in 2013 as she defended her NCAA Indoor and NCAA Outdoor titles in the 200-meter dash while sweeping titles for the third-straight season. She was also crowned the SEC champion in the 60 meters and 200 meters indoors and 100 meters and 200 meters outdoors as the most dominant short sprinter at the collegiate level once again during her senior season. Duncan’s resume speaks for itself. She wrapped up her collegiate career with the Lady Tigers by tying the program record with seven NCAA event titles and 12 SEC event titles during her four-year career from 2010-13. She also captured 14 AllAmerica honors during her tenure as one of the most decorated Lady Tigers to ever wear the LSU uniform. She has even emerged as one of the world’s bright young stars after making her international debut for the United States at the IAAF World Championships in Athletics

last year. Duncan, who set personal bests of 10.96 in the 100 meters and 22.19 in the 200 meters during her collegiate career, upset Olympic gold medalist Allyson Felix to earn her first career U.S. Outdoor crown in the 200 meters to highlight her 2013 season. In the wake of Duncan’s departure, senior Takeia Pinckney returns as a leader of the LSU sprint group with an impressive resume of her own as a four-time AllAmerican. Pinckney bounced back from a hamstring injury that ended her outdoor season in 2012 to qualify for the NCAA Indoor meet in the 60 meters and NCAA Outdoor meet in the 100 meters a year ago while also running on LSU’s All-American 4x100-meter relay team in the national final. A former fourth-place finisher in the 100-meter final at the NCAA Championships, Pinckney will compete with personal bests of 11.26 in the 100 meters and 23.32 in the 200 meters. Pinckney will only compete outdoors for the Lady Tigers in 2014 after exhausting her indoor eligibility a year ago. The Lady Tigers actually return both the third leg and anchor leg of their 4x100meter relay team that earned a sixth-place finish nationally at the NCAA Outdoor Championships a year ago as Pinckney handed off to fellow senior Toshika Sylvester down the homestretch as each will look to lead the team once again during the 2014 season. Sylvester has set personal bests of 11.54 in the 100 meters and 23.87 in the 200 meters in her three previous seasons. The Lady Tigers will compete with a youthful sprint relay pool this season that will boast the likes of sophomore transfer Kiersten Duncan (11.77/23.89) and the freshmen trio of Bealoved Brown (11.83/23.80), Rushell Harvey (11.72/23.96) and Jada Martin (11.76/23.65). With the departures of such AllAmericans as Natoya Goule, Siedda Herbert, Latoya McDermott and Montenae RoyeSpeight from last year, the Lady Tigers will look to develop depth in their 4x400-meter relay pool this season as Nikita Tracey returns for her senior season as the team’s

only leg appearing in the national final a season ago. Tracey, who also earned All-America honors in the 400-meter hurdles with seventh place in the NCAA final in her NCAA Championships debut in 2013, ran her seasonal-best 52.7-second split at the Penn Relays before running the second leg of LSU’s All-American mile relay squad in the national final to wrap up the collegiate season. Tracey will be joined in the team’s 4x400-meter relay pool by the likes of junior Chanice Chase (53.52) and freshman Travia Jones (54.40) as they compete for All-American honors again during the 2014 season. Hurdles While the Lady Tigers must replenish their depth in the sprints and relays this season, the squad is blessed with a talented stable of hurdlers that is sure to make its mark on the national stage and score its share of points at the SEC and NCAA Championships. Jasmin Stowers headlines the group as a national championship contender in both the 60-meter hurdles indoors and 100-meter hurdles outdoors as she returns for her senior season as one of the elite sprint hurdlers at the collegiate level. A native of Pendleton, S.C., with career bests of 8.03 in the 60 hurdles and 12.88 in the 100 hurdles, Stowers is one of the most decorated hurdlers in program history as a five-time All-American and five-time SEC champion since 2011. Stowers is coming off a junior season in 2013 in which she won her third-straight SEC Indoor crown in the 60 hurdles, joining Lolo Jones as the only two Lady Tigers in program history to accomplish that feat, before earning her best finish at the NCAA Championships with a bronze-medalwinning third-place finish to wrap up the indoor season. She then followed with another AllAmerican outdoor season in which she took home a seventh-place finish nationally in the 100 hurdles after suffering a hamstring injury in the regular season that sidelined her for more than one month. She returned
to action at the SEC meet, where she came up short in defending the back-to-back SEC Outdoor crowns she won in 2011 and 2012. While Stowers returns as one of the nation’s elite sprint hurdlers, the Lady Tigers also return some firepower in the 400-meter hurdles after senior Nikita Tracey earned seventh place in the national final in her NCAA Championships debut during the 2013 outdoor season. The Jamaican international ran a top time of 56.51 during the collegiate season before she dropped her personal record to 56.08 in the qualifying round of the women’s 400 hurdles with her performance at the Jamaican Championships during the summer. That effort moved Tracey to the No. 5 position on LSU’s all-time performance list in the event. Also returning to the squad this season is NCAA qualifier Chanice Chase as she earned a place in the NCAA quarterfinals in the 400 hurdles and NCAA first round in the 100 hurdles with her sophomore season last spring. Chase set personal bests of 13.39 wind-aided in the 100 hurdles and 58.72 in the 400 hurdles a year ago. The Lady Tigers feature a strong recruiting class that provides tremendous depth for their hurdles group with the likes of junior transfer Mariah Georgetown and freshmen Ka’Lynn Jupiter and Bryiana Richardson competing for the first time in 2014. Georgetown, a converted heptathlete, will line up for the first time with a personal best of 13.50 in the 100-meter hurdles as a former NCAA qualifier in the event in back-to-back seasons at McNeese State University as a freshman in 2011 and as a sophomore in 2012. Richardson joins with personal bests of 14.36 in the 100 hurdles and 59.64 in the 400 hurdles, while Jupiter has run bests of 14.07 and 1:00.97, respectively, in the two hurdle events. Middle Distance/Distance The Lady Tigers have produced some of the nation’s leading performers in the middle distance events in recent years, and 2013 proved to be another banner season as NCAA champion Natoya Goule and AllAmerican Charlene Lipsey were the nation’s
Jasmin Stowers top tandem in the 800 meters with their performance at the SEC and NCAA Championships. Goule was arguably the top newcomer to the NCAA Division I ranks a year ago after she joined the LSU program following two successful seasons at South Plains College. After finishing runner-up to Lipsey as the SEC Indoor silver medalist, Goule dominated a stacked field at the NCAA Indoor Championships in becoming the third Lady Tiger all-time to be crowned the NCAA Indoor champion in the women’s 800 meters after running her indoor best of 2 minutes, 2.00 seconds in the national final. She became the sixth-fastest 800-meter runner indoors in collegiate history with her gold-medal-winning performance. Goule followed will an even more impressive outdoor season in which she won SEC Outdoor and NCAA Outdoor titles in the two-lap race while making history as the first LSU Lady Tiger in program history to sweep national championships in the 800 meters in the same season. She followed the collegiate season by dropping her PR to 1:59.93 in earning the Jamaican title and making her debut at the IAAF World Championships in Athletics. Goule wrapped up her only season with the Lady Tigers as the school-record holder both indoors (2:02.00) and outdoors (1:59.93) and one of the program’s most decorated performers in the event. Goule transferred to Clemson University in the 2013 fall semester after former LSU assistant head coach Mark Elliott was appointed the new director of track and field of the Atlantic Coast Conference program in July. Lipsey also wrapped up her Lady Tiger career in 2013 as one of the most decorated 800-meter runners in the program’s storied history while earning a pair of All-America and All-SEC honors during her senior season. Lipsey left Baton Rouge as a three-time SEC champion and five-time All-American while running bests of 2:02.47 indoors and 2:01.40 outdoors. A native of Hempstead, N.Y., Lipsey defended her SEC Indoor crown while claiming her third career conference title before winning the NCAA Indoor bronze medal for her most prolific indoor season as a Lady Tiger. She followed by finishing as the SEC Outdoor silver medalist and fourth-place finisher at the NCAA Outdoor Championships in her final race for LSU. The Lady Tigers will also be without their most decorated long distance runner in history with the departure of SEC Indoor 5,000-meter champion Laura Carleton. Carleton, who also qualified for
the 5,000-meter final at the NCAA Outdoor Championships, ran new school records of 16:11.58 indoors and 15:44.41 outdoors in the 5,000 meters and 34:01.65 in the 10,000 meters. Among those who will lead LSU’s middle distance and distance groups in 2014 include a returning Andria Aguilar for her sophomore season with a lifetime personal record of 2:09.33 and incoming freshman Danielle Avery with a lifetime best of 2:12.84 in the 800 meters. Jumps/Multis The Lady Tigers have built a strong tradition in the jumps featuring some of the nation’s premier performers at the collegiate level, and they will be led once again by one of the top triple jump tandems nationwide in 2014 with the return of seniors Keri Emanuel and Lynnika Pitts. Each is sure to be among the team’s leading point scorers in the championship meets this season in the wake of a pair of All-American campaigns as juniors a year ago. A native of North Charleston, S.C., Emanuel signed with the Lady Tigers in the Class of 2012 as the top jumper in the junior college ranks during her two-year career at South Plains College. She made an immediate impact for the Lady Tigers while earning All-SEC honors as the SEC Indoor silver medalist and All-America honors as the sixth-place finisher at the 2013 NCAA Indoor Championships with her performance in the triple jump. Emanuel eclipsed the 44-foot mark for the first time in her career at the SEC Indoor meet when she jumped a lifetime best of 44 feet, 2 inches as the runner-up in her championship debut with the Lady Tigers. She became the No. 6-ranked triple jumper indoors in program history with that performance to highlight her junior season. An NCAA Championship qualifier in both the long jump and triple jump outdoors a year ago, Emanuel also jumped a lifetime best of 20-5 ¾ in the long jump in her debut season with the Lady Tigers during the 2013 campaign. Pitts joined her teammate in earning her first All-America honor during the indoor season a year ago as she followed Emanuel with a seventh-place finish nationally in the triple jump finals at the NCAA Indoor Championships. She jumped 43-3 ¼ on her very first jump of the event for a pointscoring performance for the Lady Tigers during their indoor finale. A native of Prairieville, La., Pitts ended the 2013 campaign with a lifetime PR of
Denise Hinton
Keri Emanuel 43-9 for a fifth-place finish at the SEC Indoor Championships last February. She also set an impressive PR of 5-10 in the high jump while competing in her secondary event during the outdoor season. Shanice Hall also returns to the squad as one of the team’s top recruits from a year ago as she owns a personal best of 6-0 ¾ in the high jump. The Jamaican international made her debut in the high jump at the NCAA East Preliminary Rounds as a freshman last spring to cap a successful rookie campaign. She looks to raise the bar on her performance as a sophomore in 2014. The Lady Tigers are also a scoring threat in the multi-events as Therese Jernbeck makes a return as one of the SEC’s top performers in the pentathlon and heptathlon from last season. A product of Stockholm, Sweden, Jernbeck returns for her sophomore season after taking home a sixth-place finish in the pentathlon in her debut at the SEC Indoor Championships with an indoor personal best of 3,864 points to rank No. 8 in school history in the event. She then finished in ninth place in the heptathlon at the SEC Outdoor Championships to highlight her rookie season after scoring 5,261 points for her seasonal best at the Texas Relays. Jernbeck owns a personal-best score of 5,324 points in the heptathlon that was set in 2011 while competing for Sweden at the European Junior Athletics Championships. Competing as a Lady Tiger for the first time this season is Wentzville, Mo., product Nataliyah Friar, who signed with the Lady Tigers in the Class of 2013 with personal bests of 19-4 ¾ in the long jump and 40-9 ¾ in the triple jump. Friar was a USA Track & Field Youth Outdoor champion and USATF Junior Olympics champion in the triple jump during her prep career. Throws Returning to lead a deep and versatile throws group this spring are a pair of school-record holders and a host of AllAmerica contenders as they will help lead the Lady Tigers into the 2014 campaign. That includes the return of four NCAA qualifiers in four different throwing events that will provide the team with a solid foundation in the championship meets. Denise Hinton made history during her junior season a year ago when she became the first Lady Tiger to be crowned the SEC Indoor champion in the 20-pound weight throw before an appearance at the NCAA Indoor Championships once again in 2013. Hinton broke her own school record
with a seasonal-best throw of 70-9 ¼ at the LSU Twilight meet during the regular season before throwing 69-6 ¼ in taking home the weight throw title at the SEC Indoor Championships. She then followed with an All-SEC outdoor season which was highlighted by a silver-medal-winning runner-up finish in the hammer throw final at the SEC Outdoor Championships where she raised her personal best to 202-0 in the event. Fellow senior Karen Henning also joined the 200-foot club in the hammer throw a season ago when she threw a personal record of 201-0 at the Texas Relays for the No. 4-ranked throw in school history. Henning, who also set an indoor PR of 61-10 ½ in the weight throw, competed for the Lady Tigers in the hammer throw in the NCAA quarterfinals for the second-straight season. Junior Tori Bliss returns as one of the NCAA’s leading shot putters from year ago during a sophomore season in which she shattered LSU’s outdoor school record with a career-best throw of 55-11 at the Battle on the Bayou during the regular season. A two-time NCAA Championships qualifier in the event, Bliss broke the 19-year-old school record of 54-6 ½ set by Lady Tiger great Danyel Mitchell during the 1994 season. Bliss also posted a personal best of 162-10 in a fifth-place finish in the discus at the SEC Outdoor Championships to go along with her seventh-place finish in the shot put during the meet. She took fifth place in the shot put at the SEC Indoor Championships a year ago. The Lady Tigers are blessed with a stable of javelin throwers who will provide their team with depth in the postseason, led by senior Annie Simoneaux and sophomore Doren Welch. Simoneaux returns to action after suffering a season-ending elbow injury last spring after an All-SEC campaign in 2012. Simoneaux threw a personal best of 157-11 in an All-SEC runner-up finish at the SEC Outdoor Championships two seasons ago. Welch was the team’s top thrower a year ago when she threw a best of 153-2 before taking sixth place at the SEC Outdoor meet. The Lady Tigers also welcome two standout recruits in the javelin as freshmen Rebekah Wales (West Monroe, La.) and Alli Brasuell (Ruston, La.) will compete as Lady Tigers for the first time. Wales won a pair of Class 5A state titles during a prep career in which she threw a best of 158-3, while Brasuell owns a PR of 137-7 in the event.

Dennis Shaver <YUX 7cUW\ %$h\ GYUgcb %-h\ GYUgcb Uh @GI HYlUg!5f`]b[hcb %-+-
LSU Track & Field ushered in a new era on July 22, 2004, with the announcement of Dennis Shaver as the program’s 18th head coach. Shaver, who spent nine seasons as an assistant on the LSU staff, oversees the direction of both the men’s and women’s programs, while concentrating his work with the Tiger and Lady Tiger sprinters and hurdlers. When Dennis Shaver ascended to the rank of head coach of the LSU Track & Field program in July 2004, he was given the reigns of a national power recognized worldwide for its dominance at the collegiate level while racking up a total of 30 NCAA team championships in its history. Expectations were high, but Shaver had experienced LSU’s success first-hand as he helped coach the Tigers and Lady Tigers to a combined 12 national championships while serving as an assistant coach for nine seasons from 1996-2004. It came as no surprise when he was asked to continue LSU’s championship tradition when the position opened in the wake of the 2004 season. Shaver knew the challenge that lay in front of him when he accepted the job. At his opening press conference, Shaver promised fans, coaches, officials and his student-athletes that “we are going to do everything we can to keep this kind of championship program going here at LSU.” He has certainly delivered on that promise as the program has showed no signs of slowing down under his guidance. The Lady Tigers were crowned national champions during the 2008 outdoor season and have won a total of seven Southeastern Conference championships during his tenure. The women have taken the SEC Outdoor title in five of the last seven seasons in 2007, 2008, 2010, 2011 and 2012 along with the pair of SEC Indoor titles with conference sweeps in 2008 and 2011. The Lady Tigers have also added 10 trophy performances with top-four finishes at the NCAA Championships in nine previous seasons under Shaver’s guidance, including three second-place finishes, five third-place finishes and one fourth-place finish along with their national championship in 2008. The Tigers have added to their trophy case as well while racking up 11 team trophies with a top-four finish at the NCAA Championships as they have

earned five second-place finishes, one third-place finish and five fourthplace finishes between the indoor and outdoor seasons. In addition, the Tigers also scored five second-place finishes and three third-place finishes at the conference level under Shaver. In all, Shaver’s teams have combined for 23 top-three finishes at the SEC Championships and 21 top-four finishes at the NCAA Championships between the indoor and outdoor seasons since his debut season as LSU’s head coach in 2005. The curtain closed on one of the storied careers in the history of collegiate track and field last season when Kimberlyn Duncan stepped onto the track for a final time as a Lady Tiger at the 2013 NCAA Division I Outdoor Track & Field Championships at Hayward Field in Eugene, Ore. Duncan cemented her legacy as one of the all-time great sprinters when she tied the fastest all conditions 200 meters in collegiate history by running a wind-aided 22.04 seconds to win a sixth national championship in the 200-meter dash in her career. Duncan’s performance tied the 23-year-old collegiate record of 22.04 set by LSU’s Dawn Sowell at the 1989 NCAA Outdoor Championships in Provo, Utah. The Katy, Texas, product stepped into history as she swept NCAA Indoor and NCAA Outdoor gold medals for the third-straight season to become the first sprinter in collegiate history to claim six national titles in the 200-meter dash at the NCAA level. Duncan matched that output at the conference level with a sweep of SEC Indoor and SEC Outdoor titles in the 200 meters for the third year in a row, even running an SEC Outdoor Championships meet record of 22.35 in her senior season in 2013. Not only did Duncan match the fastest all conditions 200 meters in collegiate history as a senior, but she set the low-altitude collegiate record of 22.19 as a junior in 2012 in
2014 TRACK & FIELD MEDIA GUIDE
the NCAA semifinals. She ran three of the five fastest wind-legal times and five of the eight fastest all conditions times in NCAA history as the most dominant 200-meter sprinter ever at the collegiate level. Duncan earned the right to represent the United States on the international stage for the first time in her career in 2013 when she dropped her personal best of 21.80 in capturing her first career U.S. Outdoor title in the 200 meters to qualify for the IAAF World Championships in Athletics. Duncan also earned a reputation as one of the world’s emerging talents in the 100-meter dash during her Lady Tiger career when she became just the fifth collegiate sprinter to break 11 seconds after setting the SEC Championships meet record of 10.96 in the 2012 conference final. Duncan defended her SEC 100-meter title as a senior in 2013 before winning the NCAA Outdoor bronze medal in the event last season. She also scored back-to-back NCAA silver medalist in the 100 meters in 2011 and 2012. Winner of The Bowerman in 2012 as the top athlete in collegiate track and field, Duncan tied the school record with seven NCAA event titles and 12 SEC events titles in four seasons from 2010-13. Like Duncan, former Lady Tiger standout Cassandra Tate wrapped up the 2012 campaign as a national champion as she recorded a careerbest of 55.22 to claim the NCAA crown in the 400-meter hurdles, becoming the fourth Lady Tiger all-time to accomplish the feat. Tate also helped lead the Lady Tigers to the national title in the 4x400-meter relay during
the indoor season as she ran the second leg on a team that featured Alexander, Siedda Herbert and Jonique Day as they earned the 13th NCAA crown for the program in the event alltime with their victory. Alexander, Tate and Day also joined leadoff leg Latoya McDermott on the team that set a new school record of 3 minutes, 24.59 seconds to finish as the national runners-up during the NCAA Outdoor Championships, marking the third-fastest 4x400-meter relay performance in NCAA history. The Tigers won an NCAA relay title of their own in record-setting fashion at the NCAA Outdoor Championships in 2012 when Barrett Nugent, Aaron Ernest, Keyth Talley and Shermund Allsop dominated the 4x100-meter relay final in 38.38 to tie the Drake Stadium record with the seventhfastest time in collegiate history. The Tigers claimed their eighth NCAA title in the event in program history. Shaver has coached 39 athletes to 51 NCAA event titles in a career that spans 18 seasons at LSU. His athletes have also captured 119 SEC event titles and 411 All-America honors. It was a 2012 season in which Shaver was honored as both the NCAA Division I Women’s Outdoor Coach of the year by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association and the SEC Women’s Outdoor Coach of the Year in a vote of the league’s head coaches. Shaver has now twice been recognized as the National Coach of the Year and seven times named the SEC Coach of the Year. LSU had been on the cusp of adding to its national championship
“We are fortunate to have one of the finest coaches in the country leading our track and field program at LSU. LSU’s track teams have a record of great accomplishment under Dennis Shaver’s leadership the last seven years. He has not only helped establish LSU as a leader in competition, but also in the community and classroom as well. It is a testament to the kind of student-athletes we want representing this University.”
² >C9 5@@9J5 @GI 8=F97HCF C: 5H<@9H=7G collection in Shaver’s first four seasons as head coach as the teams combined for seven second-place team finishes at the NCAA Indoor and NCAA Outdoor Championships, including four runner-up finishes for the Tigers and three runnerup finishes for the Lady Tigers during that span. But with his top team making the trip to Des Moines for the 2008 NCAA Division I Outdoor Track & Field Championships, Shaver knew LSU was a championship contender on both sides. The meet unfolded just the way he had anticipated with the women’s race for the team title going down to the very last event of the weekend. The Lady Tigers were tied with defending champion Arizona State at 59 points with both teams advancing a team into the final of the 4x400 relay. The stage was set for a dramatic conclusion with the team crossing the finish line first taking the title. The Lady Tigers carried the stick around the track in 3:28.33 to score eight points with a second-place finish in the race, while the Sun Devils were unable to keep pace with a fifth-place finish. The final score of the meet after 21 events read LSU 67, Arizona State 63. Not only did the Lady Tigers capture their first national championship under Shaver, but the team won the 31st NCAA title in the history of the LSU Track & Field program nearly 75 years to the day that the Tigers won their first national championship way back on June 17, 1933. It proved to be a fitting end to a season that also saw the Lady Tigers dominate the Southeastern Conference by sweeping SEC Indoor and SEC Outdoor championships for the first time under Shaver’s direction. Considered one of the leading sprints and hurdles coaches in the sport, LSU’s athletes flourished under Shaver’s guidance once again as the Tigers and
Lady Tigers made their presence felt throughout the 2008 season. Shaver coached the likes of Lady Tiger greats Kelly Baptiste and Nickiesha Wilson to NCAA event titles during their final season in the purple and gold, while he also coached Tiger sprint star Richard Thompson to one of the most prolific seasons in collegiate history. Baptiste was the catalyst in LSU’s national championship run as she accounted for a team high 19 points at the NCAA Championships while becoming the fifth Lady Tiger in program history to be crowned NCAA champion in the 100-meter dash. Wilson was equally as impressive at the NCAA Outdoor meet as she added 18 points with an NCAA crown in the 400 hurdles and a runner-up finish in the final of the 100 hurdles. In four years with Shaver’s coaching, Baptiste amassed a resume to rival the best sprinters to ever wear the LSU uniform. She is the only Lady Tiger to sweep NCAA titles in the 60 meters and 100 meters in the same season, while she also ranks eighth in team history with an impressive 14 career All-America honors. She is also the school-record holder with a top 60-meter time of 7.13. But no athlete dominated collegiate track and field in 2008 quite like Thompson. Arguably the greatest sprinter to ever wear the LSU uniform, Thompson also became the first Tiger to sweep NCAA titles in the 60 meters and 100 meters in the same season, while he also ran the second leg on LSU’s national champion 4x100-meter relay team. In addition, Thompson won AllAmerica honors in the 200 meters with a runner-up finish at the NCAA Outdoor Championships en route to being named the NCAA Men’s Outdoor Track Athlete of the Year. He became the first sprinter coached by Shaver to crack the 10-second barrier in the 100-meter dash with his victory
at the SEC Outdoor Championships in Auburn, Ala. Thompson’s 9.93 in the conference final set an SEC record and was the second-fastest time ever recorded at the collegiate level. Thompson, who came to LSU from the country of Trinidad & Tobago with a personal record of 10.65 in the 100 meters, wrapped up his career in Baton Rouge as a four-time NCAA champion, five-time SEC champion and eight-time All-American under Shaver’s guidance. While Shaver helped Thompson become one of the more dominant sprinters in collegiate history during his career at LSU, he coached his pupil to worldwide stardom at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing. In his Olympics debut, Thompson shocked the world by winning a silver medal in the finals of the 100meter dash while setting a new collegiate record with a time of 9.89. He finished second only to Jamaican world-record holder and gold medalist Usain Bolt. After anchoring Trinidad’s 4x100-meter relay to a silver medal, Thompson’s unforgettable season was complete. While continuing to train in Baton Rouge following his collegiate career, Thompson dropped his 100-meter personal best with a Trinidad & Tobago national record of 9.85 that he set in winning the title at the 2011 Sagicor National Open Championships in Portof-Spain while earning a spot on the country’s World Championships team for the second time in his career. While Thompson grabbed the headlines, he was not the only athlete coached by Shaver to line up at the Olympic Games in 2008. Former Lady Tiger hurdler and two-time World Indoor champion Lolo Jones made her Olympics debut with a seventh-place finish after winning the 100-meter hurdles at the U.S. Olympic Trials, while Baptiste (Trinidad and Tobago) and Sherry Fletcher (Grenada) ran the 100 meters and Wilson
(Jamaica) and Isa Phillips (Jamaica) competed in the 400-meter hurdles. Jones, who continues to train with Shaver in Baton Rouge, has become one of the recognizable faces in track and field as one of the world’s leading sprint hurdlers. In becoming the first hurdler in meet history to win back-to-back World Indoor gold medals in the 60-meter hurdles at the 2010 IAAF World Indoor Championships, Jones became the new American record holder after setting a new personal best with a winning time of 7.72. Shaver has also coached Jones to a PR of 12.43 in the 100-meter hurdles she set in the semifinal round at the 2008 Olympic Games. Jones made her return to the Olympic Games in London as she just missed earning a spot on the medal podium with a fourth-place finish in her secondstraight Olympic final. LSU carried its momentum into the 2009 season as Shaver again proved why he is one of the respected coaches in the business while coaching two-sport star Trindon Holliday to his first career NCAA championship in the 100-meter dash. After finishing as the national runner-up in 2007 and earning a thirdplace finish in 2008, Holliday enjoyed a season to remember as he became the third different Tiger in four years to be crowned the NCAA 100-meter champion. He sprinted to the finish line with a PR of 10.00 to continue LSU’s domination in the event. His victory in the NCAA 100-meter final followed a 2009 indoor season in which he earned his second national runner-up finish in the 60-meter dash at the NCAA Indoor meet. But no athlete has dominated the sport with Shaver’s coaching quite like LSU great Xavier Carter as the Tiger sophomore captured four NCAA event titles at the 2006 NCAA Outdoor Championships held in Sacramento, Calif. Carter became the first collegiate athlete

since Ohio State’s Jesse Owens in 1935 and 1936 to win four NCAA titles at a single national meet, claiming championships in the 100 meters, 400 meters, 4x100-meter relay and 4x400-meter relay. In his brief two-year career at LSU, Carter won an impressive seven individual national championships and 10 All-America honors as the only collegiate athlete in history to double with national titles in the 100 meters and 400 meters in the same year at the NCAA Championships. Sprint sensation Kelly Willie also capped a stellar career in 2006 by leading the Tigers to three relay national titles while earning a total of five All-America honors. With Shaver’s coaching, Willie finished his four-year career in Baton Rouge as the most decorated athlete in the history of LSU men’s track and field, tying Carter with a school record seven NCAA individual championships and a LSU record 19 career AllAmerica honors. LSU’s men’s and women’s relay teams proved to be an unbeatable force throughout the 2006 season, sweeping 4x400 titles at the NCAA Championships during the indoor and outdoor seasons and the men claiming a national championship in the 4x100 at the NCAA Outdoor meet. In all, 12 of Shaver’s athletes won individual national titles in eight different events for the 2006 season. In Shaver’s first season as head coach in 2005, Carter and Willie provided the foundation for one of the elite mile relay teams in NCAA history that put an exclamation point onto the end of the collegiate season by setting a new collegiate record en route to a national championship. LSU’s foursome of Reggie Dardar (46.4), Willie (44.4), Bennie Brazell (44.8) and Carter (44.0) clocked 2:59.59 in shattering the 17-yearold record of 2:59.91 set by UCLA in 1988. That national crown catapulted the Tigers to a thirdplace finish in the final team standings, an effort that was assisted by the national runner-up efforts by Carter in the 200-meter dash and Brazell in the 400-meter hurdles. While he enters his 10th season as head coach, Shaver has enjoyed 18 tremendously successful seasons at LSU after joining the program as an assistant coach in August 1995. Shaver joined the LSU staff after serving four seasons as an assistant coach at Auburn where he designed training programs for the team’s field and multi-event athletes. Prior to his tenure at Auburn, Shaver served as head coach for both the men’s and women’s track and field programs at Barton County Community College in Great Bend, Kan. His teams captured all 12 of the conference’s indoor and outdoor titles in his six seasons at Barton. He also led the Barton women to eight national championships, including three indoor, three outdoor and two cross country titles. In 199091, the women’s team at Barton County College captured the first “National Triple Crown” in junior college history, winning the cross country, indoor track and outdoor track titles that
Coach Shaver and his wife, Connie, at the White House for Champions Day in November 2008 season. Shaver is regarded as one of the premier coaches in the sport of track and field, and he has earned national recognition for his many accomplishments throughout his coaching career. Not only was he named the NCAA Women’s Outdoor Coach of the Year by the USTFCCCA in 2008 and 2012, but he has also been named a seven-time SEC Women’s Coach of the Year during his tenure. In 2003, he was recognized by his peers as the first USTCA Assistant Coach of the Year for Women’s Sprints and Hurdles. In addition, Shaver has received nine National Coach of the Year awards, six Kansas Collegiate Coach of the Year honors and 16 Regional Coach of the Year awards in his coaching career that spans 30 years. Shaver is certified as a Level I, II and Master Coach by USA Track and Field and has been an instructor for the USATF Coaches Education curriculum of the sprint and hurdle events. A native of Salina, Kan., Shaver earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in physical education from the University of Texas at Arlington in 1979. In 1981, he added a master’s degree in education with an emphasis on administration from Stephen F. Austin State University. Shaver and his wife, Connie, have two children. Dale is a service advisor for Richard’s Honda in Baton Rouge and enjoys his hobbies of cars and photography. Lindsay graduated summa cum laude in 2012 from the University of South Alabama with her Master of Science in nursing with a focus on pediatric primary care. She is a pediatric nurse practitioner at Longhorn Pediatrics in Austin, Texas, where she resides with her husband, Alex Ramirez, a landscape architect with Design Workshop.

Debbie
DUff]g!H\maYg 5gg]ghUbh 7cUW\ B]bh\ GYUgcb @GI %--) Former Lady Tiger standout Debbie Parris-Thymes enters her eighth season working as an assistant to head coach Dennis Shaver as she seeks to mold the women’s sprinters and hurdlers into one of the elite groups in the nation once again during the 2014 season. Parris-Thymes has brought a wealth of competitive experience and knowledge to the Lady Tiger program as she wrapped up an illustrious 11-year professional career at the IAAF World Outdoor Track & Field Championships in 2005. She turned that experience into immediate success as an assistant coach at LSU as she has helped coach the Lady Tigers to eight team championships during her tenure, including a national title outdoors in 2008, as well as five SEC outdoor and two SEC Indoor titles since 2005. The Lady Tiger great has helped coach 16 Lady Tigers to individual NCAA titles, 21 Lady Tigers to individual SEC titles and 25 Lady Tigers to All-America honors over the past eight seasons. In all, 25 Lady Tiger sprinters and hurdlers have accounted for 148 All-America selections as NCAA Championship scorers since Parris-Thymes joined Shaver’s staff in 2005. That includes 19 All-America selections a year ago as LSU followed a third-place finish at the NCAA Indoor Championships with a fourth-place finish at the NCAA Outdoor Championships while being led once again by the sprints, hurdles and relays in 2013. The curtain closed on one of the storied careers in the history of collegiate track and field last season when Kimberlyn Duncan stepped onto the track for a final time as a Lady Tiger at the 2013 NCAA Division I Outdoor Track & Field Championships at Hayward Field in Eugene, Ore. Duncan cemented her legacy as one of the all-time great sprinters when she tied the fastest all conditions 200 meters in collegiate history by running a wind-aided 22.04 seconds to win a sixth national championship in the 200-meter dash in her career. Duncan’s performance tied the 23-year-old collegiate record of 22.04 set by LSU’s Dawn Sowell at the 1989 NCAA Outdoor Championships in Provo, Utah. The Katy, Texas, product stepped into history as she swept NCAA Indoor and NCAA Outdoor gold medals for the third-straight season to become the first sprinter in collegiate history to claim six national titles in the 200-meter dash at the NCAA level. Duncan matched that output at the conference level with a sweep of SEC Indoor and SEC Outdoor titles in the 200 meters for the third year in a row, even running an SEC Outdoor Championships meet record of 22.35 in her senior season in 2013. Not only did Duncan match the fastest all conditions 200 meters in collegiate history as a senior, but she set the lowaltitude collegiate record of 22.19 as a junior in 2012 in the NCAA semifinals. She ran three of the five fastest wind-legal times and five of the eight fastest all conditions times in NCAA history as the most dominant 200-meter sprinter ever at the collegiate level. Duncan earned the right to represent the United States on the international stage for the first time in her career in 2013 when she dropped her personal best of 21.80 in capturing her first career U.S. Outdoor title in the 200 meters to qualify for the IAAF World Championships in Athletics. Duncan also earned a reputation as one of the world’s emerging talents in the 100-meter dash during her Lady Tiger career when she became just the fifth collegiate sprinter to break 11 seconds after setting the SEC Championships meet record of 10.96 in the 2012 conference final. Duncan defended her SEC 100-meter title as a senior in 2013 before
winning the NCAA Outdoor bronze medal in the event last season. She also scored back-to-back NCAA silver medalist in the 100 meters in 2011 and 2012. Winner of The Bowerman in 2012 as the top athlete in collegiate track and field, Duncan tied the school record with seven NCAA event titles and 12 SEC events titles in four seasons from 2010-13. A hurdler by trade, Parris-Thymes has helped mold one of the NCAA’s top sprint hurdlers during her tenure as Jasmin Stowers returns to lead the squad in 2014. Stowers joined the great Lolo Jones as a three-time SEC Indoor champion in the 60-meter hurdles when she defended her crown before claiming the NCAA Indoor bronze medal as a junior a year ago. She has also claimed two SEC Outdoor titles in the 100-meter hurdles with back-to-back victories in 2011 and 2012. Like Duncan, former Lady Tiger standout Cassandra Tate wrapped up the 2012 campaign as a national champion as she recorded a career-best of 55.22 to claim the NCAA crown in the 400-meter hurdles. Tate also helped lead the Lady Tigers to the national title in the 4x400-meter relay during the indoor season as she ran the second leg on a team that featured Alexander, Siedda Herbert and Jonique Day as they earned the 13th NCAA crown for the program in the event alltime with their victory. Alexander, Tate and Day also joined leadoff leg Latoya McDermott on the team that set a new school record of 3 minutes, 24.59 seconds to finish as the national runners-up during the NCAA Outdoor Championships, marking the thirdfastest 4x400-meter relay performance in NCAA history. Parris-Thymes’ athletes were the catalyst in the Lady Tigers winning their 25th national championship in 2008 with a victory at the NCAA Outdoor Championships in Des Moines. LSU’s sprinters and hurdlers accounted for 59 of 67 points in the team standings as the Lady Tigers won their first NCAA Outdoor crown since 2003. In 2008, Parris-Thymes also helped guide the LSU women to their first sweep of SEC Indoor and Outdoor titles since 1996. Kelly Baptiste became the first Lady Tiger in program history to sweep NCAA titles in the 60-meter dash and 100meter dash in the same season, following in the footsteps of LSU greats Dawn Sowell (1989), Esther Jones (1990), D’Andre Hill (1994, 1995) and Sherry Fletcher (2007) as an NCAA 100meter champion. Baptiste also earned outdoor All-America honors in the 200 meters, 4x100 relay and 4x400 relay to finish as the Lady Tigers’ top point scorer at the 2008 NCAA Outdoor Championships. Using her expertise as a 400-meter hurdler, Parris-Thymes also helped coach former Lady Tiger star Nickiesha Wilson to an NCAA title in the event in the 2008 postseason. The Lady Tigers carried that momentum into the summer as Baptiste (Trinidad & Tobago), Fletcher (Grenada) and Wilson (Jamaica) each represented their respective countries in the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, China. They were part of the largest representation of any collegiate track and field program in the United States as 12 current and former LSU athletes participated in the Olympics. In 2007, Parris-Thymes helped guide the Lady Tigers to a pair of NCAA runner-up finishes during both the indoor and outdoor seasons, while the team added yet another SEC Outdoor title to its resume. Fletcher was among the athletes to win a national title with the help of Parris-Thymes that season with her improbable victory in the 100-meter dash at the NCAA Championships, her first event title in an LSU uniform. The Lady Tigers also won an NCAA championship in the 4x400-
meter relay during the 2007 outdoor season to put an exclamation point onto the end of a tremendous season. Having competed extensively at the highest level of international track and field for more than a decade, the former “Tiger of the Year” turned in numerous outstanding performances while under Shaver’s guidance. Her professional career included appearances in two Olympic Games, six World Championships, two Commonwealth Games and two Goodwill Games among many other elite international competitions. A specialist in the 400-meter hurdles, Parris-Thymes’ resume boasts three Jamaican national titles, one Central American & Caribbean Championships title, two Commonwealth Games silver medals, a pair of Goodwill Games silver medals, three World Championships finals appearances and two top-10 finishes in the event at the Olympic Games. Her success was nurtured at the collegiate level while spending two highly successful seasons as a member of the Lady Tigers’ national championship squad. An eight-time AllAmerican, Parris-Thymes won a total of five NCAA titles, five SEC titles and was awarded the SEC Commissioner’s Trophy in 1994 for her efforts. She currently ranks No. 3 on LSU’s all-time outdoor performance list in the 400 hurdles as she posted a top time of 55.17 during her collegiate career. A native of Trelawny, Jamaica, Parris-Thymes graduated with a bachelor’s degree from LSU in 1995 after earning an associate of arts degree from San Jacinto College in 1992. She is married to Derrick Thymes, a former member of the football and track teams at LSU, and they have a daughter named Jana Marie Thymes.

HcXX @UbY 5gg]ghUbh 7cUW\ GYjYbh\ GYUgcb @ih\Yf 7c``Y[Y %--) The LSU jumps program boasts one of the proudest traditions in the history of collegiate track and field in the United States, and assistant coach Todd Lane looks to continue that tradition as he enters his seventh season as a member of LSU’s coaching staff in 2014. The Tigers and Lady Tigers have flourished in six seasons under Lane’s direction as he has coached 11 NCAA scorers to 33 All-America honors in four different jumping events since joining the LSU coaching staff prior to the 2008 season. His studentathletes have also captured six SEC championships and 32 All-SEC honors over the last six seasons. The 2013 season proved to be one for the record books as Damar Forbes wrapped up one of the most prolific careers for a long jumper in the history of the LSU Track & Field program as a national champion to cap a dominant outdoor season. After earning his fourth career SEC and NCAA silver medals with a pair of runner-up finishes during the 2013 indoor season, Forbes followed outdoors by sweeping SEC Outdoor and NCAA Outdoor titles as the nation’s most prolific performer in the event. Forbes posted the two best wind-aided jumps of his collegiate career in sweeping long jump championships with jumps of 27-4 ½w at the SEC Championships and 27-4 ¾w at the NCAA Championships last spring. He is just the third Tiger all-time to sweep SEC and NCAA championships in the long jump outdoors by joining the great Billy Brown (1941) and Walter Davis (2002). Forbes jumped a wind-legal personal best of 27-0 ¾ to win his second-straight Jamaican long jump title and qualify for the IAAF World Championships in Athletics for the second time for his career. That’s where he finished in eighth place in his first international final in the meet held in Moscow, Russia, last summer. A native of Decatur, Ga., Forbes also made his Olympics debut in the summer of 2012 while representing Jamaica at the 2012 Olympic Games in London. He ended his season with an 18th-place finish while competing at the highest level of the sport for the first time. Forbes went out as one of the most decorated long jumpers in the program’s history as an NCAA champion, two-time SEC champion and six-time AllAmerican with the Tigers. He is the No. 2-ranked long jumper in school history as his PR of 27-0 ¾ trails only the school-record mark of 27-9 ¾ by 2004 Olympic silver medalist John Moffitt. Forbes even starred as the leadoff leg of LSU’s 4x100-meter relay team during his senior season in 2013, leading the Tigers to an SEC gold medal and AllAmerica honors in the event. The 2013 indoor season also saw the emergence of two of the nation’s top triple jumpers on the women’s side as Keri Emanuel and Lynnika Pitts earned All-America honors after wrapping up their indoor campaign at the NCAA Championships. Emanuel took sixth place while Pitts followed in seventh place in the triple jump final at the NCAA Indoor meet. Emanuel jumped a lifetime PR of 44-2 in claiming the SEC Indoor silver medal before she earned All-
62 LSU
America honors in her debut season with the Lady Tigers. Pitts also set a lifetime best at the SEC Indoor Championships with a mark of 43-9 for fourth place in the triple jump final. The 2012 season was highlighted by Trinidad & Tobago international Kyron Blaise wrapping up his collegiate career as one of the top scoring Tigers at the NCAA Championships by earning a trio of AllAmerica honors in his final season in Baton Rouge. After setting a wind-legal PR of 54-1 ¼ in an AllSEC runner-up finish in the triple jump at the 2012 SEC Outdoor Championships, Blaise scored the NCAA Outdoor bronze medal with a third-place finish at the national meet in his final competition in an LSU uniform. Blaise totaled a team-leading nine points at the NCAA Outdoor Championships two years ago as he also reached All-America status in the long jump with a sixth-place finish nationally. Blaise proved himself as one of the NCAA’s leading dual jumpers in his final season at LSU, earning his first career All-America honor in the long jump with a sixth-place finish indoors before setting a lifetime PR of 25-11 ½ in a third-place finish at the SEC Outdoor meet. The 2012 season also witnessed the final season in the career of the most decorated pole vaulter in the storied history of the LSU women’s program as Rachel Laurent hung up her spikes as a four-time All-American and five-time All-SEC performer. She earned All-America status for the fourth time a year ago with a sixth-place finish at the NCAA Indoor Championships while clearing a seasonal-best height of 14-1 ¼. Laurent left the program as LSU’s schoolrecord holder in the pole vault with PRs of 14-3 ½ indoors and 14-3 ¼ outdoors during her tenure. The 2011 season saw the end of two storied careers as Brittani Carter and Zedric Thomas also finished their eligibility among the all-time greats to wear the purple and gold. Carter is the most decorated high jumper in the history of the Lady Tiger program after winning two SEC titles and five All-America honors in four seasons at LSU. As a senior in 2011, Carter set a lifetime PR indoors at 6-1 ¼ and defended her SEC Indoor crown before earning All-America honors in national competition with a bronze-medal winning third-place finish at the NCAA Indoor Championships and seventh-place finish at the NCAA Outdoor Championships. Like Carter, Thomas wrapped up his collegiate career in 2011 as a five-time All-America selection in four seasons with the Tigers while shattering personal bests in both the long jump and triple jump. Thomas had top wind-legal marks of 26-6 ¼ in the long jump and 54-5 ½ in the triple jump in his final collegiate season with Lane’s coaching. Lane joined the LSU coaching staff after spending one season at the University of Miami, where he was voted the top women’s jumps and combined events assistant in the East Region by the U.S. Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association in 2007. The Hurricanes enjoyed great success under Lane’s tutelage as he coached his athletes to a total of three All-America honors, eight All-Atlantic Coast Conference, four ACC titles and one current

school record. In addition, Hurricane standouts Brenda Faluade and Amy Seward swept postseason awards in 2007 while being named the ACC Indoor Field Performer of the Year and ACC Outdoor Field Performer of the Year, respectively. Prior to joining the staff at Miami, Lane served as an assistant coach at Ball State University of the Mid-American Conference. In 2006, he helped guide BSU to a runner-up finish at the MAC Indoor Championships and a third-place showing at the MAC Outdoor Championships before being named interim head coach following the season. Lane is not without head coaching experience as he was the head track and field coach at Georgia Southern University for five years where he oversaw the program from its inception in 1999. He was named the SoCon Outdoor Coach of the Year in 2003 and 2004 after leading Georgia Southern to backto-back runner-up finishes at the SoCon Outdoor Championships. A native of Iowa City, Iowa, the 41-year-old Lane graduated from Luther College (Iowa) in May 1995 with a bachelor’s degree in political science. He has also received two master’s degrees from Georgia Southern University, including one in sport management in May 1997 and a second in exercise science in December 2005. Lane and his wife of 16 years, Turena Johnson Lane, are the proud parents of two children – their daughter, Taylor Grace Lane, born on May 6, 2011, and their son, Miles William Lane, born on Aug. 30, 2012

LSU
Derek Mig\ 5gg]ghUbh 7cUW\ GYjYbh\ GYUgcb 7cbbYWh]Wih %--+ The LSU throws group has flourished in six seasons under the direction of assistant coach Derek Yush, and the Tigers and Lady Tigers are sure to shine among the nation’s elite once again in 2014 while featuring some of the top talent in the NCAA ranks. Two of Yush’s athletes were crowned SEC champions for the first time in their collegiate careers when Denise Hinton captured the SEC Indoor title in the women’s weight throw and Rodney Brown claimed the SEC Outdoor title in the men’s discus during the 2013 season as each will make their return as team leaders in 2014. Hinton, who entered her junior season in 2013 as the school-record holder in the weight throw, raised her record mark to 70 feet, 9 ¼ inches during the season before becoming the first Lady Tiger in program history to be crowned the SEC Indoor champion in the event. She also had her first career All-SEC performance in the hammer throw outdoors when a personal best mark of 202-0 in a runner-up finish at the SEC Outdoor Championships. Brown became the first LSU Tiger in 20 years to be crowned the SEC Outdoor champion in the discus with his dominating victory at the SEC Outdoor Championships where he recorded a winning mark of 203-1 to take the title. He eclipsed 200 feet in the event twice as a sophomore by also throwing a best of 206-3 at the Texas Relays for the No. 2-ranked mark in school history. Brown also became the first LSU Tiger in 15 years to pick up All-American honors in the discus throw with his fourth-place finish in the event at the NCAA Outdoor Championships. Also etching her name in the LSU record books during an outstanding sophomore season in 2013 was Tori Bliss, who took down the 19-year-old outdoor school record in the shot put with a career-best throw of 55-11 at the Battle on the Bayou. Bliss broke the previous record of 54-6 ½ that was set by Lady Tiger great Danyel Mitchell in 1994. Michael Lauro wrapped up an All-American career with the Tigers in 2012 after claiming five All-America honors in his four seasons at LSU. Lauro saved his best for last at the NCAA Championships while earning career-best finishes of eighth place in the weight throw indoors and fourth place in the hammer throw outdoors at the national meets as a senior in 2012. Lauro went out as the No. 2-ranked Tiger all-time with her personal records of 72-6 ¼ for the weight throw and 223-0 in the hammer throw during his collegiate career. The Lady Tigers said goodbye to a pair of All-SEC throwers of their own in 2012 with an outstanding senior season from both Brieanna Kennedy and Samia Stokes. Kennedy, a two-time NCAA Championships semifinalist, earned All-SEC honors for the first time in her collegiate career as the SEC silver medalist in the hammer throw in 2012. Her top mark of 205-3 on the season is the No. 2-ranked mark on LSU’s all-time list in the event. Stokes, who won the SEC Outdoor bronze medal in the discus two seasons ago, became the first Lady Tiger in 16 years to be crowned the SEC Outdoor champion in the event in 2010 by throwing a winning mark of 168-5 at the conference meet. Stokes raised her personal best to 181-0 during her senior season to also rank No. 2 on LSU’s all-time list in the discus throw. The LSU throws group enjoyed its most successful season at the SEC Championship with Yush’s guidance in 2012 as his athletes scored a total of 82 points in conference action. Yush was also honored following the 2012 season as he had the privilege of serving as the men’s throws coach for Team USA at the North American, Central American & Caribbean Under-23 Championships held in Guanajuato, Mexico. The 2011 campaign witnessed the end of an era as Tiger great Walter Henning wrapped up an outstanding collegiate career as arguably the premier thrower in program history. Henning put an exclamation point onto the end of
an undefeated 2011 indoor season with a national championship in the 35-pound weight throw while defending his title at the NCAA Division I Indoor Track & Field Championships. Henning posted a series-best mark of 72-8 ½ to take the national title by nearly three feet. After claiming his third career NCAA crown during the 2011 indoor season, Henning extended his winning streak against collegiate competition to 18-straight events in his outdoor season opener at the LSU Invitational with a victory in the hammer throw. Despite seeing his winning streak come to an end in his next appearance at the Texas Relays, Henning proved to be the NCAA’s most dominant thrower as an upperclassman with an unbeaten mark during the 2010 indoor, 2010 outdoor and 2011 indoor campaigns. The Kings Park, N.Y., native then took home a bronze medal in the hammer throw during his last event as an LSU Tiger at the 2011 NCAA Outdoor Championships. In arguably the most prolific career by a thrower in the program’s history, Henning won a total of three NCAA championships in his three seasons in Baton Rouge. That dominance was also felt by his rivals in the Southeastern Conference with his sweep of SEC championships in the weight throw indoors and hammer throw outdoors in consecutive seasons from 2009-11. Henning, a seven-time All-American and two-time Bowerman Award candidate during his collegiate career, became the first LSU Tiger in program history to capture NCAA titles in the weight throw indoors and hammer throw outdoors with his championship sweep in 2010. After taking the weight throw crown at the 2010 NCAA Indoor Championships, Henning completed the sweep with a dramatic come-from-behind victory in the hammer throw at the NCAA Outdoor Championships to wrap up his junior season. While Henning trailed Virginia Tech’s Alexander Ziegler with a top mark of 235-6 through five rounds, he took the crown on his sixth and final throw of the competition after posting a mark of 238-10 on his last attempt to wrap up the title more than one foot ahead of Ziegler’s 237-7 effort. Henning shattered his own school records during his junior season in posting his personal records of 78-1 in the weight throw and 239-5 in the hammer throw during the campaign. With an effort of 78-1 in winning the weight throw at the 2010 SEC Indoor Championships, he established a new meet record while shattering the previous mark of 76-5 by Auburn’s Cory Martin in 2007. Not only did Henning add the title of national champion to his resume under Yush’s guidance, but he was also crowned World Junior Champion in the summer of 2008 with his gold-medal winning performance in the 6-kg. hammer throw at the IAAF World Junior Championships in Bydgoszcz, Poland, after transferring to LSU from the University of North Carolina. His throw of 252-4 at the IAAF World Junior Championships was an American junior record in the event. While Yush has now guided his athletes to 13 All-America honors in his stint as LSU’s throws coach, former Tiger javelin thrower Preston Chatham was the first to reach that status with his first career All-America honor during the 2008 outdoor season. Chatham earned a fourth place in the javelin at the NCAA Outdoor Championships while posting a PR of 234-7. Since Yush joined the LSU coaching staff in 2008, the Lady Tigers have now taken home six SEC championships and one NCAA championship as they continue to add to trophy case as the premier women’s program in collegiate track and field. In fact, the Tigers and Lady Tigers have now combined for 17 top-five finishes at the NCAA Championships between the indoor and outdoor seasons since 2008. Yush has also coached one of the world’s premier female hammer throwers in Kristal Kostiew following her collegiate career at the University of Vermont. Kostiew, who owns a personal best of 227-2, represented the United States at the 2007 IAAF World Championships in Athletics
held in Osaka, Japan, after winning a silver medal at the 2007 AT&T USA Outdoor Track & Field Championships. She also claimed her fourth-place finish at the 2007 Pan American Games held in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Yush came to LSU in 2007 after spending eight seasons at the University of Rhode Island, where he coached the men’s throws, jumps and multi-events while also acting as an assistant with the cross country team. Rhode Island enjoyed tremendous success under Yush’s guidance as he helped lead the squad to 11 Atlantic-10 Conference titles from 2001-07, including five indoor and six outdoor crowns during his tenure. The Rams also excelled individually on a national level as Yush coached 24 NCAA Regional qualifiers in six events, while also guiding his athletes to 51 Atlantic-10 championships and 15 New England individual titles in eight events during his tenure at the school. In addition to his experience at Rhode Island, Yush brings head coaching experience to the position as he served as the head men’s and women’s coach at Eastern Connecticut State University from 1998-99. He actually got his start in the coaching profession at ECSU as he was named the assistant sprints, jumps and throws coach in 1997. During his time at East Connecticut State, Yush helped develop several All-Eastern College Athletic Conference and All-New England performers, as well as one All-American long jumper. The Enfield, Conn., native also served two seasons as an administrative assistant at the University of Connecticut where he served as a team captain and helped lead the Huskies to Big East and New England as a senior. He was a consistent scorer at the Big East Championships and was an Intercollegiate Association of Amateur Athletes of America performer. Yush has earned a USA Track and Field Level II Coaching Certificate as he is fully certified to coach sprints, hurdles, relays, jumps, throws and multi-events. He is also a certified strength and conditioning specialist after joining the National Strength and Conditioning Association in 1997. He earned a bachelor’s degree in dietetics from Connecticut in May 1997.

6Ybb]Y 6fUnY`` 5gg]ghUbh 7cUW\ H\]fX GYUgcb @GI &$%& The LSU Track & Field program was proud to welcome back one of its all-time greats as an assistant coach as former Tiger two-sport national champion Bennie Brazell joined the coaching staff as LSU’s top men’s sprints and hurdles assistant prior to the start of the 2012 season. Brazell now enters his third season coaching at his alma mater as his addition to the staff has paid immediate dividends for the Tigers with their performance at the SEC and NCAA Championships. In Brazell’s first season in 2012, the Tigers followed a fifth-place finish at the NCAA Indoor Championships with an impressive second-place finish at the NCAA Outdoor Championships as they were just two points shy of winning a national championship in his inaugural campaign. They followed in 2013 with another top-10 team finish nationally by taking seventh place at the NCAA Outdoor meet. In two years, the Tigers competing in the sprints, hurdles and relays have accounted for 61 of the team’s 117 points scored at the NCAA Championships between the indoor and outdoor seasons. The Tigers have also enjoyed great success at the SEC Championships since Brazell’s arrival with a strong secondplace finish at the 2012 SEC Outdoor Championships held on their home track at the Bernie Moore Track Stadium in Baton Rouge. Their 2012 season was highlighted by claiming their eighth national championship all-time in the 4x100-meter relay. While running with a team of Barrett Nugent, Aaron Ernest, Keyth Talley and Shermund Allsop, the Tigers matched the seventh-fastest relay performance in collegiate history with a winning run of 38.38 seconds at the NCAA Outdoor Championships. Nugent wrapped up his collegiate career in 2012 as the most decorated hurdler in the history of the LSU men’s program with a pair of NCAA titles and four SEC titles to go along with 10 All-America honors in his four seasons in Baton Rouge. After breaking his own indoor school record in the 60 hurdles with a run of 7.55 to claim the NCAA Indoor bronze medal, Nugent captured his third-straight SEC crown in the 110 hurdles and ended his career with AllAmerica honors during the outdoor season. Nugent owns the distinction of being the only LSU Tiger to win three-straight SEC Outdoor titles in the 110-meter hurdles in the history of the SEC Outdoor Championships. It was an NCAA Championship that also saw the emergence of Ernest as a rising star in the NCAA ranks as he claimed three All-America honors as a freshman, including a fifth-place finish in the 200 meters and eighthplace finish in the 100 meters in his NCAA Championships debut. Ernest, who clocked personal bests of 10.17 in the 100 meters and 20.53 in the 200 meters in his freshman year, later swept sprint silver medals and anchored Team USA to a gold medal in the sprint relay at the 2012 IAAF World Junior Championships held that summer in Barcelona, Spain. Ernest added three more All-America honors during his sophomore season in 2013 with a sixth-place finish in the 200 meters at the NCAA Indoor Championships before finishing in seventh place in the 100 meters and leading the Tigers to fourth place in the 4x100-meter relay in defense of their title at the NCAA Outdoor Championships a year ago. He also became an SEC champion for the first time in his Tiger career as the SEC Indoor 200-meter champion and SEC Outdoor sprint relay champion in 2013. Ernest is one of the top young sprint stars in the United States while dropping his personal bests to 6.69 in the 60 meters and 20.53 indoors and 20.38 outdoors in the 200 meters a year ago. He also ran career-best wind-aided times of 10.04 in the 100 meters and 20.36 in the 200 meters as a sophomore. LSU’s 4x400-meter relay has also proven itself as
64 LSU
an NCAA title contender after the Tigers swept bronze medals in the event with their performance at the NCAA Championships in 2012. After capturing the SEC Indoor title and taking home All-America honors with a third-place finish at the NCAA Indoor Championships, LSU’s mile relay team added a bronze medal at the NCAA Outdoor Championships while running the third-fastest time in school history in the final. That’s where the squad of Robert Simmons, Quincy Downing, Ade Alleyne-Forte and Riker Hylton ran 3 minutes, 1.21 seconds to take third place in the event and lead the Tigers to second place in the final team standings. Both Alleyne-Forte (Trinidad & Tobago) and Hylton (Jamaica) followed the collegiate season by making their Olympics debut in London while running in the mile relay. Alleyne-Forte certainly made the most of his first Olympic Games as he led Trinidad & Tobago to a bronze medal in the relay as a third leg on the team that set a national record of 2:59.40 in the Olympic final. LSU’s 4x400-meter relay team added a fifth-place finish indoors and fourth-place finish outdoors at the NCAA Championships to earn All-America honors once again last season. A member of the program from 2002-05, Brazell helped the Tigers claim five NCAA relay titles while earning 14 AllAmerica honors as one of the NCAA’s leading 400-meter hurdlers during his four seasons in Baton Rouge. By earning 14 All-America accolades for his career, Brazell is the No. 2-ranked Tiger all-time behind only the 19 All-America honors won by Kelly Willie from 2003-06. Brazell actually owns the unique distinction of being the university’s first student-athlete to win national championships with two different sports teams during his LSU career. In four seasons as a member of national championship football and track programs at LSU, Brazell became one of the school’s most recognizable two-sport stars during his career that featured national titles in track and field outdoors in 2002 and indoors in 2004 and on the football field in 2003. Brazell even represented the United States on an international stage during his junior season at LSU as he advanced to the Olympic final in the 400-meter hurdles at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens, Greece. In his Olympics debut, he finished in eighth place in the final at the centennial games. “We’re excited to have Bennie Brazell as a member of our staff as he will impact on our sprints and hurdles group day in and day out in our pursuit of SEC and NCAA championships,” said LSU head coach Dennis Shaver. “Bennie provides our team with tremendous knowledge and experience following an outstanding competitive career both on the track and on the football field. “We also expect that Bennie will provide our program with great ability as a recruiter in building the kind of relationships that are so important to attract the very best athletes we can to LSU. That’s especially true in recruiting the best athletes in the country who excel in both football and track who will be able to relate to Bennie’s experience as an LSU alumnus.” A product of Westbury High School in Houston, Brazell made an immediate impact on the LSU Track & Field program as the nation’s No. 1-ranked high school prospect in the 400-meter hurdles. During his freshman season, Brazell scored eight points as the NCAA Outdoor runner-up in the 400-meter hurdles while breaking the school record in the event with a time of 48.80. He also anchored LSU to a national title in the 4x100-meter relay that ran the fourth-fastest time in NCAA history at 38.32, while also running the third leg on the Tigers’ bronze-medal winning 4x400-meter relay team. Brazell’s 14 points helped lead LSU to a national
2014 TRACK & FIELD MEDIA GUIDE
championship in its own backyard with the 2002 NCAA Division I Outdoor Track & Field Championships being held at the Bernie Moore Track Stadium. Brazell helped guide LSU to a second NCAA team title at the onset of his junior season in 2004 with their victory at the NCAA Indoor Championships. With the Lady Tigers also winning the team championship, LSU made history as the first program to sweep both the men’s and women’s team titles at the NCAA Division I Indoor Track & Field Championships. Brazell certainly went out with a bang as a senior in 2005 at the NCAA Championships as he enjoyed performances in both the 400 hurdles and 4x400 relay that eclipsed previous collegiate records. In the most exciting NCAA final in the 400-meter hurdles in NCAA Championships history, Brazell and Florida’s Kerron Clement each shattered the collegiate record as Clement struck gold in 47.56 and Brazell took home the silver in 47.67, a time that remains LSU’s school record in the event. While Brazell came up short of owning the collegiate record in the 400-meter hurdles with his second place to Clement in the national final, he would not be denied in the final of the 4x400-meter relay. That’s where he ran a 44.8-second split on the third leg to set the collegiate record at 2:59.59 with Reggie Dardar (46.4), Kelly Willie (44.4) and Xavier Carter (44.0) in winning the NCAA crown. The Houston native also enjoyed a successful career on the football field while appearing in 43 contests in his four seasons as a wide receiver and special teams standout. Brazell appeared in 11 games for the Tigers during their national championship season in 2003, including the 2004 Sugar Bowl. Brazell concluded his football career at LSU with 17 catches for 341 yards and three touchdowns before being picked in the seventh round of the 2006 NFL Draft as the 231st overall pick by the Cincinnati Bengals.

Khadevis FcV]bgcb 5gg]ghUbh 7cUW\ :]fgh GYUgcb H7I %--, The LSU Track & Field program welcomed one of the nation’s rising stars in the coaching ranks on Aug. 13, 2013, when head coach Dennis Shaver announced that two-time Olympian Khadevis Robinson was appointed an assistant coach to lead the men’s and women’s middle distance and distance groups and cross country teams. Robinson joined Shaver’s staff following an impressive 2013 season at Ohio State where he also served as head cross country coach and assistant track and field coach. Robinson boasts a distinguished pedigree as one of the all-time great middle distance runners in the history of USA Track & Field as a two-time Olympian and eight-time U.S. champion in the 800-meter run before joining the coaching ranks with stints as a head cross country coach and assistant track and field coach at UNLV in 2012 and Ohio State in 2013. “LSU has always been one of the premier programs in the nation, both on the men’s and women’s sides. Having the opportunity to work with Coach Shaver and his staff is exciting for me because I know it will help me develop into a better coach and learn what it takes to be a part of a championship program,” Robinson said. “We all strive to reach our full potential, no matter your profession. Becoming a part of the LSU tradition will give me the opportunity to work harder and pursue my full potential while working with coaches and athletes who have been at this level for a very long time. “It’s hard for a program to do what LSU has done on both the men’s and women’s sides for so long. To learn from Coach Shaver is a great opportunity for me and something I’m looking forward to.” Shaver believes Robinson has the talent and experience to lead one of the nation’s premier middle distance groups following the departure of Mark Elliott as Clemson’s newly-appointed director of track and field. “Khadevis Robinson is the perfect fit for our program here at LSU. We’re very excited that he will be leading an event area that’s really been instrumental in our pursuit of SEC and NCAA championships over the years,” Shaver said. “Khadevis is a rising star in our (coaching) ranks. It’s special any time you can welcome someone with his experience and pedigree into your program. “He’s a world-class athlete in his own right, which gives him immediate credibility to the athletes already in the program and the future stars we will recruit well into the future across all event areas.” In his one season at Ohio State, Robinson coached sophomore Katie Borchers to All-America honors in the 800 meters while setting school records with personal records of 2:06.95 indoors and 2:05.56 outdoors to claim a spot in the national semifinals at the 2013 NCAA Division I Outdoor Track & Field Championships. He also coached a young Buckeye squad to great success during the 2012 cross country season as Ohio State claimed a pair of sixth-place team finishes at the Big Ten Championships and the NCAA Great Lakes Regional. That includes junior Meredith Wagner and sophomore Michelle Thomas earning all-region honors and Wagner adding a Second-Team
All-Big Ten selection for her performance. The Ohio State women’s cross country team earned a 2012 NCAA Division I All-Academic Team honor by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association with a cumulative team gradepoint average of 3.31 through the 2012 fall semester. Prior to joining the Buckeye staff, Robinson guided the UNLV Runnin’ Rebels to a successful 2012 campaign in which standout Kelsey Williams swept Mountain West Conference championships in the women’s 800 meters during the indoor and outdoor seasons. Brett Zorich, the 2012 Mountain West Indoor bronze medalist, also qualified for the 800-meter semifinals at the NCAA Outdoor Championships while earning a 13th-place finish nationally with a personal record of 2:04.54 in the event. UNLV’s relay teams were also impressive under Robinson’s direction as the Rebels earned AllMountain West honors with a silver-medal-winning second-place finish in the women’s distance medley relay (11:52.41) at the 2012 MWC Indoor Championships and won the 4x800-meter relay (8:39.22) at the 85th Clyde Littlefield Texas Relays during the 2012 outdoor season. “One of the things I’ve enjoyed most in watching Khadevis mature as a coach is how he motivates his athletes and gets the most out of their talent. He is also a great recruiter who has shown the ability to connect with young men and women across all event areas,” Shaver said. “It’s easy to say given his athletic background, but he has a bright future as a coach in our sport.” A native of Fort Worth, Texas, and 1998 graduate of TCU, Robinson was crowned the NCAA Outdoor champion in the men’s 800 meters during his senior season with the Horned Frogs in 1998. He would go on to a distinguished professional career as one of the world’s premier 800-meter runners in which he represented the United States at the Olympic Games in Athens in 2004 and London in 2012. Robinson also earned his spot on Team USA at the IAAF World Championships a total of seven times while setting a lifetime personal best of 1:43.68 in his specialty event. Robinson is one of the most accomplished middle distance runners in USA Track & Field history while winning four U.S. Indoor titles in 1999, 2005, 2006 and 2007 and four U.S. Outdoor titles in 1999, 2006, 2008 and 2009. He is also a six-time silver medalist in the 800 meters at the USA Outdoor Championships, including a pair of runner-up finishes at the U.S. Olympic Track & Field Trials in 2004 and 2012. He has also helped foster the careers of some of USA Track & Field’s rising stars while coaching the likes of 2012 U.S. Olympian Duane Solomon early in his professional career. Robinson graduated from TCU in 1998 with an undergraduate degree in social work before earning his master’s degree in public administration from Cal State Los Angeles in 2004. Robinson has spent the past decade training and competing as one of the world’s top runners while coaching athletes from all age groups. He’s
also served as a public speaker and as an educator in the Santa Monica Unified School District. He also co-founded a 501c3 called The Youth Track & Running Club of which he remains an active board member.

2013 REVIEW
Kimberlyn Duncan ended her career in 2013 as one of the all-time Lady Tiger greats.
Tigers, Lady Tigers Shine at NCAA Championships LSU wrapped up the 2013 outdoor season as one of just five programs in the country earning top-10 team finishes on both the men’s and women’s sides at the NCAA Division I Outdoor Track & Field Championships held at Hayward Field in Eugene, Ore. The Lady Tigers scored 40 points to take home the fourth-place trophy on the women’s side, following only Kansas (60), Texas A&M (44) and Oregon (43) in the final team standings. A young Tigers’ team was impressive while scoring 27 points for seventh place in the men’s team race, trailing only co-champions Florida (53) and Texas A&M (53), Arkansas (46.5), Oregon (44), Southern California (42) and Texas (32) in the final standings in their season finale.
Duncan Upsets Felix for U.S. Outdoor Title in 200 Meters In her first meet as a professional sprinter, Duncan pulled one of the upsets of the outdoor season when she took home the U.S. Outdoor title in the 200-meter dash over reigning Olympic gold medalist Allyson Felix at the USA Outdoor Championships held in Des Moines, Iowa. With the win, Duncan earned the right to represent the United States on the international stage for the first time in her career while running at the IAAF World Championships in Athletics held last summer in Moscow, Russia. She blazed to the finish line in a career-best wind-aided time of 21.80 for the sixth-fastest time in world history under all conditions, ahead of the silver-medal run of 21.85 by Felix at Drake Stadium, the site of two of her NCAA championships in 2011 and 2012..
Lady Tigers Add to Trophy Case at NCAA Championships The Lady Tigers added to their trophy case with their performance at the NCAA Championships in 2013 while finishing among the top-four trophy positions during both the indoor and outdoor seasons. They scored 43 points to claim their fourthstraight third-place team finish at the NCAA Indoor Championships to take home the bronze trophy, trailing only Oregon (56) and Kansas (44) in the last team standings. While adding a fourth-place finish at the NCAA Outdoor Championships, the Lady Tigers claimed their 11th top-four team finish at the NCAA Championships in nine seasons under head coach Dennis Shaver. The Tigers have added 10 top-four finishes of their own at the national meet before finishing in 15th place indoors and seventh place outdoors in 2013.

LSU great Kimberlyn Duncan went out with a bang in her final meet as a Lady Tiger as she won her third-straight NCAA Outdoor title in the women’s 200-meter dash while matching the fastest performance in collegiate history in the final at the national meet. Duncan sprinted to the finish line in a wind-aided 22.04 (+3.5) to equal the 24-year-old wind-legal collegiate record of 22.04 that was set by LSU’s Dawn Sowell at the 1989 NCAA Outdoor Championships. With the win, Duncan became the first sprinter in collegiate history to sweep NCAA Indoor and NCAA Outdoor titles in the 200 meters in three-straight seasons. She also added an NCAA bronze medal in the 100 meters in 2013 to finish her career as a 14-time All-American with the Lady Tigers. Duncan tied LSU’s career record with seven NCAA event titles won during her four-year career from 2010-13.

After already finishing as the NCAA silver medalist in the long jump four times during his collegiate career, senior Damar Forbes put an exclamation point onto the end of his LSU career by sweeping SEC and NCAA championships in the long jump as the team’s top performer in 2013. Forbes posted the two farthest jumps of his career in his championship sweep as he jumped a wind-aided 27-4 ½ at the SEC Outdoor Championships and a wind-aided 27-4 ¾ at the NCAA Outdoor Championships to become just the fifth LSU Tiger in program history to be crowned a national champion in the event. He actually won the NCAA Outdoor crown by more than one foot over the silver-medal-winning jump of 26-4 ¼w by Arkansas’ Raymond Higgs.

Goule was crowned the NCAA Indoor champion as the sixth-fastest performer indoors in collegiate history with a winning school-record time of 2 minutes, 2.0 seconds in the national final. She nearly broke two minutes outdoors with a winning run of 2:00.06 at the NCAA Outdoor Championships to become the first Lady Tiger to sweep NCAA 800-meter titles in the same season. Goule then dropped her outdoor school record to 1:59.93 to win the Jamaican crown and claim her spot at the World Championships last summer.
Brown Carries Tigers’ Torch in Throws in 2013 With his performance as a sophomore a year ago, Rodney Brown earned his place in the legacy of great throwers to wear the LSU uniform as an SEC champion and All-American in the discus during the 2013 outdoor season. He snapped a 20-year drought as the first LSU Tiger to be crowned the SEC discus champion when he posted a winning throw of 203-1 at the SEC Outdoor Championship to kick off the postseason. Brown then became LSU’s first All-American in the event in 15 seasons when he threw 199-4 for a fourth-place finish in the discus final at the NCAA Outdoor Championships. He set a PR of 206-3 in a runner-up finish at the Texas Relays.
Carleton Wraps Up Career as LSU’s Most Decorated Distance Runner Laura Carleton cemented her legacy as the greatest distance runner in the Lady Tiger program with her performance as a senior in 2013. She made history indoors as she became the first Lady Tiger in program history to be crowned an SEC champion in a distance greater than 1,000 meters with her victory in the 5,000-meter run at the SEC Indoor Championships. She added fourth-place finishes in both the 5,000 meters and 10,000 meters at the SEC Outdoor Championships before appearing in her first career NCAA final in the 5,000 meters during the outdoor season. She wrapped up her collegiate career as LSU’s school-record holder in the 5,000 meters both indoors (16:11.58) and outdoors (15:44.41) and 10,000 meters (34:01.65).

Hinton Crowned SEC Weight Throw Champion Junior Denise Hinton made history with her victory in the women’s weight throw at the SEC Indoor Track & Field Championships a year ago as she became the first Lady Tiger in program history to be crowned the SEC champion in either the weight throw indoors or hammer throw outdoors with her performance. Hinton, who broke her own school record with a seasonal-best throw of 70-9 ¼ at the LSU Twilight earlier in the season, threw a series-best of 69-6 ¼ to win the SEC Indoor title in the weight throw en route to a second-straight appearance at the NCAA Indoor Championships. She added an All-SEC honor outdoors while claiming the silver medal in the hammer throw at the SEC Outdoor Championships after throwing a PR of 202-0 on her sixth and final throw.
Carleton Named Academic All-American in 2013 Season After earning her third-straight selection to the College Sports Information Directors of America Academic All-District VI First Team earlier in the spring, Lady Tiger distance runner Laura Carleton capped her collegiate career as a Capital One First-Team Academic All-American as the team was announced following the NCAA Championships. It marked the first time that Carleton was honored as a Capital One Academic All-American as she was among 15 women’s track and field athletes to receive such an award. She graduated with her Master of Business Administration in May 2013 with a 3.96 grade-point average in two years of graduate work. She received her undergraduate degree in business administration in May 2011 with a perfect 4.0 GPA.
Duncan Breaks SEC Championships Record in 200 Meters Just one season after smashing the SEC Championships meet record in the 100-meter dash with a personal best of 10.96 to take the title in 2012, Kimberlyn Duncan became the meet record holder in the 200-meter dash in 2013 when she sprinted to the finish line in 22.35 to tie the SEC Championships record set by former Georgia standout Debbie Ferguson in 1999. While defending her SEC title in the 100 meters, Duncan ended her career as a 12-time SEC champion to tie the team record already set by Muna Lee (2001-04) and Peta-Gaye Dowdie (1997-2000). She also earned a total of 14 All-SEC honors during her collegiate career.
Lady Tiger Triple Jump Duo Earns All-America Honors Two Lady Tigers earned All-America honors for the first time in their collegiate careers at the NCAA Indoor Championships a year ago as juniors Keri Emanuel and Lynnika Pitts emerged as two of the nation’s top triple jumpers during the 2013 season. After jumping a lifetime personal record of 44-2 to earn All-SEC honors with the SEC Indoor silver medal in the event, Emanuel posted her jump of 43-3 ¾ to earn a sixth-place finish at the NCAA Indoor Championships. Pitts, who also jumped a lifetime PR of 43-9 at the SEC Indoor meet, followed Emanuel in seventh place nationally after jumping a best of 43-3 ¼ at the NCAA Indoor Championships.
Stowers Wins Fifth Career SEC Hurdles Title Lady Tiger standout Jasmin Stowers has been unbeatable in the sprint hurdles when running at full strength at the SEC Championships during her collegiate career as she has won five SEC titles in her three seasons at LSU. She captured her third-straight SEC Indoor title in the 60-meter hurdles as a junior in 2013 before winning the NCAA Indoor bronze medal in the event to highlight her best indoor season as a Lady Tiger. After claiming back-to-back SEC Outdoor titles in the 100-meter hurdles in 2011 and 2012, she came up short in her title defense a year ago with a sixth-place finish in the conference final in her first meet back from a hamstring injury suffered at the Battle on the Bayou nearly two months before. Stowers earned All-America honors in the event during the outdoor season.
Ernest Sprints to SEC Title, All-America Honors in 2013 LSU’s Aaron Ernest wrapped up an outstanding freshman season in 2012 as a threetime All-American with his performance at the NCAA Outdoor Championships. He took his performance to another level as a sophomore in 2013 while claiming the SEC Indoor title in the men’s 200 meters with an indoor PR of 20.53 and earning All-America honors in the event at the national meet. He carried that momentum into the outdoor season as he again earned All-America honors as a member of LSU’s fourth-place 4x100-meter

Kimberlyn Duncan was named Most Outstanding Performer in 2012
For many collegiate programs across the country, the Clyde Littlefield Texas Relays marks the true beginning of the outdoor season as many of the nation’s top teams travel to Mike A. Myers Stadium in Austin for one of the most prestigious meets during the regular season. LSU is world famous for the performance of its men’s and women’s relay teams, and its success at the Texas Relays rivals that of any program in the NCAA. The Tigers and Lady Tigers have combined for 73 relay titles and 73 individual titles in the University division at the Texas Relays, and the squads will be looking to add to their impressive resume in 2014.

2011 Penn Relays 4x100 Relay Champions Each year, track athletes from around the world converge on historic Franklin Field in Philadelphia for the annual Penn Relay Carnival to take part in one of the true spectacles in the sport of track and field. The LSU Track & Field program is one of the feature attractions year in and year out as the Tigers and Lady Tigers put their talent on display for
the more than 100,000 fans that fill the stands to make the Penn Relays one of the unique events in all of sports. The teams have won a combined 67 Championship of America relay titles, while having 64 athletes crowned University champions throughout the storied history of the meet. The Lady Tigers are the winningest women’s program in meet history as their 45
total relay titles all-time is more than any other women’s program in collegiate track and field. The Tigers have won 22 relay titles of their own. LSU made history in 2008 by winning a combined six relay titles between the men’s and women’s teams, which is a meet record for a combined program.

ABBREVIATIONS AND NOTES
c = time converted from yard equivalent y = time achieved at yard equivalent s = 200m time on straightaway w = wind-aided decathlon or heptathlon (over 4.0 mps) * = decathlon or heptathlon rescored on 1985 IAAF Tables In running events, hand times are carried in 10ths, while automatic times are carried in 100ths. Hand times are placed with auto times by adding either 0.24 seconds (for events less than 400m), or 0.14 seconds (400m and up) to the hand time. Starting in 1980, only automatic times were accepted for events less than 400 meters. With the exception of the decathlon. Wind-aided performances are not eligible for these lists.
