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 62 individual and 63 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 and one NCAA title 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.
