LSU TRACK & FIELD BANQUET
LSU Track & Field has set aside one weekend to serve as a true celebration of the rich history and tradition of the NCAA’s most storied track and field program as the Tigers and Lady Tigers have welcomed alumni back to Baton Rouge as part of the LSU Track & Field Team Awards and Alumni Recognition Banquet. The event has been held in each of the past nine years. The program enjoyed a historic evening on the night of April 16, 2010, when it hosted the inaugural LSU Track & Field Team Awards and Alumni Recognition Banquet with a crowd of more than 500 athletes, coaches, family and alumni in attendance at the Crowne Plaza Baton Rouge. In attendance at the inaugural banquet were more than 100 LSU Track & Field alums representing six decades of the most recognized combined program in all of collegiate track and field. The event was established to recognize the current members of the LSU Track & Field program for their outstanding performance in competition, in the classroom and in the community, as well as honor the alumni who have laid the foundation of success enjoyed by the program today. The second-annual team banquet was held on Easter weekend in 2011 as the event again saw a strong alumni representation on a glorious Good Friday at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center. ESPN’s Emmy award-winning track and field commentator Larry Rawson was on hand to serve as the Master of Ceremonies of the event that year. The event returned to the PMAC for two more years in 2012 and 2013 before moving over to the Carl Maddox Field House in 2014 and 2015. The event is now held at the Renaissance Hotel.
