History of the 4x100-Meter Relay

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 five times, winning consecutive championships between 1992-94 and again in 2003 and 2016.

The Tigers school-record-breaking time of 38.24 at the 1998 NCAA Outdoor Championships went down as the third-fastest 4x100-meter relay time in NCAA history. The Lady Tigers have left their mark in the NCAA record books as well, dominating the NCAA’s all-time 4x100-meter relay list over the years. In fact, the Lady Tigers have run six of the 10 fastest times in NCAA history, which is more than any other program in the history of collegiate track and field.
