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?

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.”

LSU TRACK & FIELD

An Era

Of EXCELLENce

2008 Women’s NCAA Outdoor National Champions Since 1897, LSU Track & Field has built an illustrious history filled with some of the most memorable performers and achievements in the school’s colorful athletic heritage.

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.

H. Warren Taylor, Jr., LSU Track & 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.

1933

LSU

National Championships

After winning five Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association conference championships between 1913-1922 and capturing three consecutive SIC titles, LSU Track & Field burst onto the national scene with an improbable upset of heavilyfavored Southern California to win the 1933 national championship at Soldier Field in Chicago. The LSU track team was led by the speed of Glenn “Slats” Hardin and the strength of Jack Torrance. Hardin set new world records in the 440-yard dash (47.1) and 220 low hurdles (22.9), while Torrance did the same in the shot put (52-10).

Despite their record-breaking performances, the national title did not rest in the Tigers’ hands until the final event when Matt Gordy cleared 14 feet in the pole vault for the first time in his career to secure LSU’s first ever national championship in any sport.

With the men already firmly

1989

2 0 1 3 t r a c k & f i e l d M EDIA G U IDE

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 two more national titles in 1993.

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 of 3 minutes, 33.63 seconds. LSU dominated the competition to win its seventh-consecutive NCAA Outdoor championship. The Lady Tigers did so in record-breaking fashion, scoring a school record 93 points to outscore their nearest competitor by a remarkable 49 points.

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.

While an outsider might see an 11th-straight NCAA Outdoor title in 1997 as just another day at the office, it was far from it.

A heavy underdog, the LSU women exploded for 43 points on the meet’s final day to capture the outdoor crown once again in Bloomington, Ind. The competition came down to a single event between LSU and Texas - the 200-meter final. LSU qualified Astia Walker and Peta-Gaye Dowdie, while Texas countered with two runners as well. The Lady Tigers knew they had to outscore Texas by a single point to win the title. Walker finished second and Dowdie placed fifth, while Nanceen Perry and Angie Vaughan of Texas placed third and fourth, respectively.

When the points were tallied, LSU outscored Texas, 12-11, in the most crucial race of the meet to give the

1997

Lady Tigers the one-point advantage they needed to clinch the overall title by the score of 63-62.

The Lady Tigers also claimed a fifth-straight NCAA Indoor crown in 1997 for their eighth in an 11-year span. 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. Needing a miracle in the final event of the NCAA Indoor Championships, the Tigers’ prayers were answered when the foursome of Robert Parham, Lueroy Colquhoun, Pedro Tunon and Alleyne Francique won the 4x400-meter relay and TCU failed to score, giving the Tigers a 34-33 edge over the Horned Frogs in one of the most exciting finishes in NCAA history. Walter Davis scored 18 of LSU’s 34 points in the meet, winning the triple jump and finishing second in the long jump.

Both teams added championships to their already impressive resumes in 2002 with the women winning the team title at the NCAA Indoor Championships in Fayetteville, Ark., and the men capturing the crown at the NCAA Outdoor Championships in front of a home crowd at the Bernie Moore Track Stadium in Baton Rouge. The Lady Tigers would go on to sweep NCAA Indoor and Outdoor titles in 2003 while being led by individual champions Muna Lee and Lolo Jones, as well as a 4x100-meter relay team that set the low-altitude collegiate record of 42.55 at the NCAA Outdoor meet that stood for six seasons.

LSU made history once again in 2004 as it became the first school in NCAA history to claim both the

2002

men’s and women’s titles at the indoor national championships.

Spearheaded by Lee’s national title in the 60-meter dash and runner-up performances by Jones in the 60-meter hurdles and Neisha Bernard-Thomas in the 800 meters, the Lady Tigers squeaked out a 52-51 win over UCLA. It was LSU’s jumps corps that proved to be the difference in the Tigers’ victory as the team was led by the likes of John Moffitt, LeJuan Simon and Willie Bradley to its first indoor crown since 2001. Moffitt won the long jump title and was then part of the Tigers’ unprecedented 1-2-3 sweep in the triple jump. Simon won the individual title with Moffitt finishing second and Bradley coming in third.

Since the Lady Tigers won their first national championship in 1987, no four-year senior class had ever left Baton Rouge without winning at least one team title at the NCAA Championships until 2012. It’s a remarkable streak that spanned 23 seasons and a legacy that is with the squad each time it steps onto the track. But in 2008, it appeared the streak might come to an end at the NCAA Outdoor Championships in Des Moines, Iowa.

After joining the program as freshmen in 2005, members of the Class of 2008 had finished runnerup at the NCAA Indoor and Outdoor Championships three times, but without a title to show for their efforts. 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

2002

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

2003

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. Henry also claimed a silver medal in her Olympics debut as she ran on Jamaica’s 4x100-meter relay team in the prelim.

With their performance, the Tigers and Lady Tigers have now won a total of six gold medals, five silver medals and five bronze medals all-time at the Olympic Games.

LSU’s participation in major international competition can be traced back to 1928 in Amsterdam when Sid Bowman became the first Tiger to compete at the Olympic Games, finishing sixth in the triple jump. Bowman and LSU legend Glenn “Slats” Hardin later placed at the 1932 Olympic Games in Los Angeles as Hardin became LSU’s first medal winner by taking the silver in the 400 hurdles.

At the 1936 Berlin Games, Adolf Hitler and Nazi Germany watched as LSU’s Hardin, Jack Torrance and Billy Brown competed for the United States. Hardin made history in the 400 hurdles, becoming the first and only LSU track athlete to win an individual Olympic gold medal.

LSU’s next Olympic Games participant came in 1964 as Billy Hardin ran the 400 hurdles for the United States in Tokyo, Japan. It 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. She competed in Seoul alongside LSU greats Schowonda Williams (United States), Robin van Helden (Holland), Mikael Olander (Sweden), Laverne Eve (Bahamas) and Angela Phipps (Canada).

The LSU contingent at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics was led by 21-time All-American Esther Jones of the United States, who won a gold medal as a member of the winning 4x100-meter relay. It marked the second-straight Olympics that a Lady Tiger led the United States to gold in the event as she followed in the footsteps of Echols in 1988.

LSU Track & Field was wellrepresented once again at the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta as a former athlete won Olympic gold for the third-straight games.

Glenroy Gilbert ran the second leg on Canada’s 4x100-meter relay that shocked the United States to win gold. The only American collegiate woman to compete in a track event in Atlanta, D’Andre Hill advanced to the semifinals of the 100-meter dash.

While representing Jamaica, Debbie Parris just missed the medal stand by placing fourth in the 400-meter hurdles, while David Kiptoo finished sixth in the men’s 800 meters while running for Kenya.

During the 1999 indoor season, former Tiger All-American Rohsaan Griffin made a splash in the 200meter dash by smashing the American indoor record in the event with a time of 20.32. His blistering mark won him the American title that year and qualified him into the finals at World Indoor Championships.

Just a year later, LSU once again had its share of representatives at the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney, Australia. Eight athletes with LSU ties made the trek halfway across the world to compete for their respective

countries. Claston Bernard and Walter Davis made the trip down under representing Jamaica and the United States, respectively, while 2000 NCAA champions Dowdie and Keisha Spencer each represented Jamaica.

LSU’s success on the world stage continued in the summer of 2003 as five former athletes all placed at the World Championships in Paris. Both Brew and Ronetta Smith medaled as Brew won gold as part of the United States’ 4x400-meter relay team and Smith secured bronze as a member of Jamaica’s 4x400 relay. Also securing top-10 finishes were Walter Davis in the long jump (seventh), Laverne Eve in the javelin (eighth) and Claston Bernard in the decathlon (ninth).

At the 2004 World Indoor Championships, former Tigers Alleyne Francique and Lueroy Colquhoun won gold for their native countries of Grenada and Jamaica, respectively.

Francique won the individual crown in the 400 meters, while Colquhoun helped Jamaica to a first-place finish in the 4x400-meter relay.

The 2004 Olympics in Athens, Greece, was a showcase for LSU talent as 15 athletes with ties to the program made the trip overseas and brought home a total of six Olympic medals. Brew, Kelly Willie and John Moffitt each medaled for the United States. Brew won bronze in the 400 meters before joining forces with Willie to win gold in the 4x400-meter relay. Moffitt was part of a 1-2 American finish in the long jump, finishing second in his first major international competition. On the women’s side, Nadia Davy and Ronetta Smith helped lead their native Jamaica to a bronze medal in the 4x400 relay.

The 2005 World Championships were once again peppered with current and former LSU athletes as 13 Tigers and Lady Tigers made the trip to Helsinki, Finland. Four former standouts turned in stellar performances while bringing home medals from the championship meet.

Davis won individual gold for the United States, taking home the men’s triple jump title. Lee and Brew also helped the United States to gold-

medal winning performances in the women’s 4x100 relay and the men’s 4x400 relay, respectively. In addition, Smith helped Jamaica to a silver medal in the women’s 4x400-meter relay.

Davis added another individual gold medal in the triple jump to his resume at the 2006 IAAF World Indoor Championships when he posted a personal best and meetwinning leap of 58-2 for the United States. Francique added the second world championship of his stellar career at the indoor meet as he won gold in the 400 meters while competing for Grenada.

Davis took his place on the medal stand once again as he won a bronze medal in the triple jump at the 2007 IAAF World Outdoor Championships in Osaka, Japan. The Baton Rouge native was one of 10 current and former LSU athletes to compete in the prestigious event and the only one to bring home a medal. Lady Tiger great Lolo Jones then added her name to LSU’s list of athletes to be crowned World Champion with her win in the 60-meter hurdles at the 2008 IAAF World Indoor Championships in Valencia, Spain.

In 2010, Jones made history yet again by becoming the first athlete in meet history to defend her World Indoor gold medal in the 60-meter hurdles. And she did so in stunning fashion by smashing Gail Devers’ 7-year-old American record in the event with a winning time of 7.72.

Devers set the previous record of 7.74 back in 2003.

LSU athletes then added a pair of bronze medals at the 2011 IAAF World Championships in Daegu, South Korea, as Trinidadian Kelly Baptiste (100 meters) and Jamaican Riker Hylton (4x400) placed for their countries.

During his 12-year stint, LSU won three SIAA titles.

After Gormley’s departure, the legendary Bernie Moore took over the program in 1930. Moore molded the the Tigers into a national power, and in 1933, guided the team to its first national championship, as well as a win at the inaugural SEC Outdoor Track & Field Championships.

The Tigers reigned over the young Southeastern Conference by capturing 12 championships in the next 18 seasons under Moore.

Former Tiger great Al Moreau then took over the program in 1949, and LSU Track & Field never broke stride.

Under Moreau, LSU captured six SEC Outdoor titles and two SEC Indoor crowns.

LSU Track & Field then reached its zenith under the direction of head coach Pat Henry, and what he accomplished in 17 seasons was nothing short of remarkable.

The most successful coach in school history in any sport, Henry became only the second coach in NCAA history to win 20 NCAA titles as the Lady Tigers came away victorious at the 2000 NCAA Outdoor Championships in Durham, N.C. Henry then added seven additional NCAA team titles to his resume before his departure in 2004. In his 17 years in Baton Rouge, Henry guided the Lady Tigers to 12 outdoor and 10 indoor titles, while leading the Tigers to three outdoor crowns and two indoor titles.

Dennis Shaver has added his name alongside the likes of Moore, Henry and Sam Seemes as coaches to lead LSU to a national championship as head coach. Shaver guided the Lady Tigers to their 25th national championship and the 31st team title in the history of LSU Track & Field with a win at the NCAA Outdoor meet in 2008. The Lady Tigers have also won seven SEC team championships under Shaver, including five outdoor and two indoor championships since 2005.

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 on the Baton Rouge campus in 1916.

At the 2005 NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships, the men’s 4x400-meter relay team of Reggie Dardar, Kelly Willie, Bennie Brazell and Xavier Carter set a new collegiate record of 2 minutes, 59.59 seconds to win its third outdoor national title in the event. Their record stands to this day.

Dominance ON THE TRACK

With 31 national championships in the record books, LSU has created the most balanced track and field program in the nation.

The Lady Tigers have set a standard in women’s sports that may never be matched. Between 1987 and 1997, the Lady Tigers won an unprecedented 11 consecutive outdoor national championships, a streak that stands as the benchmark of excellence in women’s collegiate athletics to this day.

NCAA Champions The Lady Tigers returned to their rightful place atop the awards stand after winning the national title at the 2008 NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships in Des Moines, Iowa.

Nation’s Best

Their streak is impressive even when considering men’s sports. The lone streak that betters the LSU women is the 12-straight indoor championships won by the Arkansas men’s track and field team from 1984-95.

However, when considering the dominance of the Lady Tiger track program in just the parameters of women’s track and field, there is no other team in the history of the sport that can compare. Since the inception of the women’s NCAA Track & Field Championships in 1982, the Lady Tigers have won 14 (1987-97, 2000, 2003, 2008) of the 31 outdoor championships contested, and have finished second at three additional contests (1985, 2004, 2007). The Lady Tigers scored an average of 74.7 points a year during their run of 11-straight titles and dominated

the field in 1993 and 1994, doubling the team points scored by the respective second-place finishers in both seasons.

Not to be overshadowed by the accomplishments of the Lady Tigers, LSU’s total track and field program has made NCAA history several times as well. In 1989, both the men’s and women’s programs won NCAA Outdoor titles, marking the first time in history that one school claimed both the men’s and women’s outdoor national championships during the same season. It went on to repeat the feat in 1990, again rewriting NCAA track and field history. In 2004, LSU once again became the first school to ever sweep both the men’s and women’s national crowns at the NCAA Indoor Championships.

In addition to the program’s team success, former LSU great

Xavier Carter made history at the 2006 NCAA Outdoor Championships by becoming the first collegiate athlete since Ohio State’s Jesse Owens in 1936 to win four individual titles at a single NCAA meet. Carter won titles in the 100 meters, 400 meters, 4x100-meter relay and 4x400-meter relay.

As the 2013 season approaches, the Tigers and Lady Tigers are poised to challenge for national titles once again during both the indoor and outdoor seasons. Head coach Dennis Shaver will lead two of the nation’s more talented squads as they look to carry the torch for this storied LSU program.

LSU has won a total of 40 NCAA relay titles in the 4x100 and 4x400 relays between the men’s and women’s teams.

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.

The X-Man

SHADES OF JESSE OWENS LSU’s Carter Makes History at NCAA Championships

Jesse Owens Prior to Carter’s performance, Jesse Owens of Ohio State was the only collegiate athlete to win four individual national titles at a single NCAA meet as he earned four gold medals at the NCAA Outdoor Championships in 1935 and 1936.

June 10, 2006, is a date that is sure live forever in the proud and storied history of the LSU Track & Field program. On a warm afternoon at the Alex G. Spanos Sports Complex on the campus of Sacramento State University in Sacramento, Calif., LSU great Xavier Carter stepped into history while matching a feat only accomplished by one other man in the history of collegiate track and field – the legendary Jesse Owens.

Not since Owens competed for Ohio State in 1935 and 1936 had a collegiate athlete won four NCAA gold medals at a single national championship meet. That’s until Carter snapped the 70year drought and added his name alongside one of the true icons of the sport by capturing NCAA championships in the 100-meter dash, 400-meter dash, 4x100-meter relay and 4x400-meter relay. In fact, Carter became the first athlete in meet history to double with NCAA wins in the 100 meters and 400 meters in the same season.

And Carter did so in record-setting fashion while becoming the fastest man in LSU Track & Field history in one of the most exciting NCAA Championships of all-time. It is a performance that will likely never be equaled by another athlete as long as the NCAA Championships are contested and one that should always be celebrated as one of the greatest individual feats in college sports.

4x100-Meter Relay Carter struck gold for the first time at the national meet in on June 9, 2006, by running the second leg on LSU’s 4x100-meter relay team that wrapped up an undefeated season with a comfortable win in the finals while running what was then the sixth-fastest time in NCAA history at 38.44. LSU featured a star-studded lineup as Carter teamed with the likes of future Olympic silver medalist Richard Thompson on the first leg, Marvin Stevenson on the third leg and Olympic gold medalist and seven-time NCAA champion Kelly Willie on the anchor leg to defeat Tennessee (38.86) by more than four-tenths of a second. UTEP finished well back in third place with a time of 38.99. Pictured (from left to right) is the team of Carter, Thompson, Willie and Stevenson following its win at the 2006 Penn Relays.

4x400-Meter Relay With three NCAA gold medals already in the bag, Carter returned to the track for the third time on the meet’s final day to run the anchor leg of LSU’s fearsome 4x400-meter relay team. Just one season after it smashed the collegiate record with an NCAA-title-winning time of 2:59.59 at the national meet, the squad defended its crown and put an exclamation point onto the end of an undefeated 2006 season with a win in Sacramento. Carter joined Reggie Dardar on the first leg, Willie on the second leg and Melville Rogers on the third leg to run 3:01.58 and finish more than a half second ahead of TCU (3:02.12) for the title.

Baylor finished more than one second behind in third place at 3:02.93. LSU’s victory in the mile relay led to a second-place finish in the final team standings with 51 points for the meet.

400-Meter Dash Perhaps Carter’s most impressive feat of the 2006 NCAA Outdoor Championships came in the 400-meter final when he had only 40 minutes to rest following his win in the 100 meters. After allowing the field to go out fast while holding his ground through the first 300 meters, Carter turned on the jets around the last turn to cross the finish line with another personal-best time of 44.53 that remains as the second-fastest run in the history of the LSU Track & Field program.

While crossing his arms in the form of an “X” as he ran through the finish line, Carter took the title ahead of Ricardo Chambers of Florida State (44.71) and future Olympic 400-meter bronze medalist David Neville of Indiana (44.94). In a grueling performance that may never be duplicated, Carter remains the only sprinter in meet history to successfully complete the 100/400 double at the NCAA Championships.

100-Meter Dash In one of the deepest fields ever assembled for the 100-meter final at the NCAA Championships, Carter outlasted them all to win his second event title of the meet. With defending champion and future Olympic bronze medalist Walter Dix playing the role of favorite, Carter was seen as an All-America contender, but someone who would have to pull out an upset to take the title. That’s exactly what Carter did to dethrone Dix (10.18) as the NCAA champion as he took home the gold with a then school-record time of 10.09 run into a strong headwind. The national final also featured the likes of future collegiate record holder Travis Padgett of Clemson (10.24), future Kansas City Chiefs running back Jamaal Charles of Texas (10.27) and Churandy Martina of Texas-El Paso (10.29).

The Bowerman Trophy In its first iteration, weighing over 35 pounds and standing at 20 inches tall and 20 inches wide, the body of the trophy is milled from a solid block of aluminum and plated with 18-karat gold. An acrylic fin is attached at the top portion of the trophy embossed with a three-dimensional image of Bowerman. One of the most unique, and telling, characteristics of the trophy is its use of a rubber, waffle-shaped outsole for its bottom layer, a tribute to Bowerman’s invention of the waffleshaped shoe sole.

The Bowerman trophy is stunning, one-of-a-kind figure that embodies the spirit of Bill Bowerman, combining aspects of speed, shape and asymmetry to forge a symbol of excellence in track and field.

now form the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA).

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.

What is The Bowerman?

Who is Bill Bowerman?

Now in its fourth year of existence, The Bowerman is collegiate track and field’s equivalent to the Heisman Trophy in college football and is presented annually by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association to the top athlete at the collegiate level on the men’s and women’s sides. It is presented annually as part of the USTFCCCA National Convention.

The USTFCCCA publishes a “watch list” of 10 men and 10 women under consideration for The Bowerman during the collegiate season each year. The Bowerman Advisory Board then finalizes a list of 10 semifinalists for both genders following the NCAA Division I Outdoor Track & Field Championships before announcing three finalists during the summer.

The Bowerman voters consist of national and regional media personnel, track and field statisticians, NCAA collegiate administrators and presidents of affiliated organizations. In addition, USTFCCCA members collectively receive one (1) vote and fans collectively receive one (1) vote in voting for The Bowerman each year.

Bill Bowerman’s legacy in track and field is undeniable. He served as the University of Oregon’s head track and field coach from 1949-72 and remained active at the University and in the coaching world even as the shoe company he founded, Nike, grew into a global sports giant.

A University of Oregon graduate, Bowerman returned to his alma mater as its head track and field and cross country coach in 1948. Over the next 23 years, the Ducks experienced new levels of success, winning four national championships and twice finishing as the national runnerup. Bowerman’s athletes were equally as successful as he coached 24 NCAA individual champions, 33 Olympians, 64 AllAmericans, and athletes who have achieved 13 world records and 23 American records.

Bowerman’s contributions extend far beyond the University of Oregon. Bowerman served as the National Collegiate Track Coaches Association’s (NCTCA) vice president in 1958-59 and took the helm as its president in 1959-60. The NCTCA is one of several predecessor organizations that

LSU’s Kimberlyn Duncan made history in 2012 as she became the first SEC athlete in the four-year existence of The Bowerman to win the award honoring the premier athlete in collegiate track and field. She also made history as the first two-time finalist in the history of the award after being honored among the nation’s elite for the first time in 2011.

Duncan was announced as the women’s recipient of The Bowerman following the 2012 season as she was joined by two other finalists in Arizona high jumper Brigetta Barrett and Oregon heptathlete Brianne Theisen. Distance runner Cam Levins of Southern Utah was honored as the men’s recipient of The Bowerman as a highlight of the 2012 U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association National Convention held at the JW Marriott Grande Lakes in Orlando, Fla.

It marked the second year in a row in which Duncan was honored as a finalist for the NCAA’s top individual award in track and field. She was recognized as a finalist following her sophomore season in 2011 along with Texas A&M’s Jessica Beard and Arkansas’ Tina Sutej.

“I’m in total shock right now, I don’t even know what to say,” Duncan said following her announcement as The Bowerman recipient in 2012. “When I heard them call my name, I had to take a moment just to make sure I heard them right. It’s so surreal. To know that those voting for this award see me as the best athlete at this level is very humbling to me. We have some amazing athletes from some great programs here tonight. Any one of them is deserving of this award. Of course, I’m very excited to win it this year while representing my school and my team at LSU.

“This only pushes me and motivates me to reach my full potential in this sport. I’m very honored to receive this award, and

will work even harder to defend it in my senior year.”

Winners of The Bowerman also include Oregon’s Galen Rupp (2009) and Ashton Eaton (2010) and Florida State’s Ngoni Makusha (2011) on the men’s side, and Colorado’s Jenny Barringer (2009), Virginia Tech’s Queen Harrison (2010) and Beard (2011) on the women’s side.

Duncan was joined on stage by LSU head coach Dennis Shaver following The Bowerman Ceremony at the 2012 USTFCCCA National Convention.

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

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.

The LSU Track & Field program certainly made its presence felt at the 2008 Olympic Games as 12 Tigers and Lady Tigers past and present made the trip to Beijing, China, to compete against the world’s best athletes in the sport’s most prestigious competition. In fact, LSU had more track and field athletes qualify for the Beijing Games than any other collegiate program with seven countries represented in all, including the United States, Bahamas, Grenada, Guyana, Jamaica, Liberia and Trinidad & Tobago.

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).

LSU OLYMPIC MEDALISTS Glenn “Slats” Hardin

Esther Jones

United States

United States

Glenn “Slats” Hardin holds the distinction as being the only LSU Track & Field athlete to win a gold medal in an individual event at the Olympic Games.

The most dominant 400-meter hurdler in the first half of the 20th century, Hardin won a silver medal in Los Angeles in 1932 and a gold medal in Berlin in 1936. He wrapped up a brilliant career at LSU in 1935 as a four-time NCAA champion, six-time SEC champion and six-time All-American.

Arguably the most dominant sprinter to ever wear the Lady Tiger uniform, Esther Jones became the third Olympic gold medalist in the history of the track and field program with her win in the 4x100-meter relay for the United States in Barcelona, Spain, in 1992. She earned a school record 21 All-America honors for the Lady Tigers from 1988-91 and swept NCAA titles in the 100 meters and 200 meters during her junior season in 1990.

Sheila Echols

Glenroy Gilbert

United States

Canada

Sheila Echols became the first Lady Tiger to win an Olympic medal as she struck gold as a member of the United States’ 4x100-meter relay team at the Olympic Games in Seoul, South Korea, in 1988. 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. During his brief two-year career with the Tigers, Gilbert earned three All-America honors and ran on LSU’s NCAA champion relay team during the 1993 season.

LSU athletes have won a total of 16 medals all-time at the Olympic Games, including 11 for the Tigers and five for the Lady Tigers. LSU is well-represented each year as at least one athlete has competed in 11 different Olympic Games all-time.

Derrick Brew

Kelly Willie

United States

United States

The Tigers have produced many of the world’s premier quartermilers over the years, and Derrick Brew certainly ranks among the all-time greats at LSU following his effort at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens, Greece. Brew became the first LSU sprinter to medal in an individual event as he won bronze in the 400-meter dash, while he also struck gold as a member of the United States’ 4x400-meter relay at the site of the inaugural Olympic Games in 1896.

Derrick Brew was not the only Tiger to win a gold medal as a member of the United States’ 4x400-meter relay at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens as fellow LSU star Kelly Willie also took his place on top of the medal podium as a gold medalist in the event. Willie became the youngest gold medalist in the history of the LSU program with his performance as a sophomore in 2004. Willie won seven NCAA titles and 19 All-America honors with the Tigers from 2003-06.

John Moffitt

Richard Thompson

Trinidad & Tobago

After being crowned NCAA champion in the long jump during his senior season in 2004, John Moffitt made a splash in his Olympics debut with Team USA as he soared to a silver medal in the event in Athens, Greece. Moffitt, who earned six All-America honors during a two-year career with the Tigers in 2003-04, quickly earned a reputation as one of the world’s preeminent talents with his performance. Moffitt swept NCAA Indoor and Outdoor titles as a senior in 2004.

Former LSU star Richard Thompson solidified his reputation as the most decorated Olympian in the history of LSU athletics as he claimed his third Olympic medal in London in 2012 as he anchored Trinidad & Tobago to a bronze medal in the 4x100-meter relay.

His effort in London followed his Olympic debut in Beijing, China, in 2008 when he captured a pair of silver medals in the 100-meter dash and 4x100-meter relay.

LSU Athletics hall of fame Qualification

In order for an athlete to join the LSU Athletics Hall of Fame, he or she must have earned a baccalaureate, professional or graduate degree from LSU or by some other regionally accredited institution of higher learning; have earned one or more letters in a varsity sport at LSU; have gained national distinction through superlative performance as an athlete and have established a personal reputation for character and

citizenship which reflects favorably on the University. Former LSU athletes are eligible only after three or more years have elapsed since the conferring of his or her degree.

In order for a coach or administrator to join the LSU Athletics Hall of Fame, the individual must have made significant contributions to LSU Athletics in a capacity other than as an athlete, have gained national distinction through exceptional

accomplishments in his or her field of expertise and established a personal reputation of character for citizenship which reflects favorably on the University. Former LSU coaches and administrators are eligible for nomination only after five years or more have elapsed since retiring from the profession for which the individual is nominated.

1933 NCAA Champions Pictured is the five-man team (from left to right) of Nathan “Buddy” Blair, Glenn “Slats” Hardin, Jack Torrance, Al Moreau and Matt Gordy, which captured LSU’s first of 31 NCAA track championships way back in 1933 with a 58-54 victory over the heavily-favored Trojans of Southern California. As LSU’s first national championship team in any sport, these men were inducted into the LSU Athletics Hall of Fame as part of the inaugural class of 1937, cementing their place among the legends of the sport.

Sidney Bowman

Billy Hardin

Harry Carpenter

Class of 1937

Class of 1970

Class of 1986

A three-year letterwinner at LSU from 1930-32, Sidney Bowman owns the distinction of being the first in a proud and storied tradition of LSU Olympians as he competed as part of the U.S. Olympic Team in Amsterdam in 1928 and Los Angeles in 1932. In fact, Bowman made his Olympics debut in 1928 following his high school graduation in Hammond, La., before even setting foot on LSU’s campus for his freshman season. Bowman was also inducted as part of the 1937 class.

With his induction in 1970, Billy Hardin joined his father, Glenn “Slats” Hardin, as a member of the LSU Athletics Hall of Fame following a distinguished collegiate career. Billy Hardin, who represented the United States at the 1964 Olympic Games in Tokyo, Japan, matched his father’s achievement by winning the NCAA championship in the 400-meter hurdles during his senior season in 1964. A three-time AllAmerican and seven-time SEC champion, the younger Hardin is perhaps the greatest LSU Track & Field athlete of his era.

The most accomplished LSU Track & Field athlete of the 1950s, Harry Carpenter racked up an incredible eight SEC event titles during a brief two-year collegiate career from 1956-57, while also leading the Tigers to an SEC team championship during the 1957 season. Most notably, Carpenter captured back-to-back league titles in both the 220-yard dash and 220-yard hurdles at the SEC Outdoor Championships as one of the SEC’s most dominant sprinters and hurdlers of the decade. He was honored with induction into the LSU Athletics Hall of Fame in 1986.

The 2006 LSU Athletics Hall of Fame inductee won six NCAA titles, six SEC titles and 15 All-America honors during an LSU career spanning five seasons from 1992-96.

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 84 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 14 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.

This information was gathered from www.iaaf.org, www. alltime-athletics.com and www.trackandfieldnews.com, as well as media guides from various colleges and universities across the country.

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 two kicks for touchdowns during the 2012 season.

Track Stars

ON THE GRIDIRON

LSU boasts one of the proudest traditions in all of collegiate athletics with many of its student-athletes enjoying great success competing in both track and field and on the gridiron. In fact, 13 football standouts have earned All-America honors on the track Bennie Brazell

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.

That team was honored as part of the LSU Track & Field Team Awards and Alumni Recognition Banquet.

TEAM AWARDS & Alumni Recognition Banquet

The LSU Track & Field program held its thirdannual Team Awards and Alumni Recognition Banquet on April 20, 2012, at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center, in which 16 student-athletes received awards for their performance in competition, in the classroom and in the community.

The LSU Track & Field Team Awards and Alumni Recognition Banquet has been established to not only recognize the current members of the program for their performance in the past year, but also honor the alumni who have laid the foundation of success still enjoyed by the program today.

Athletes, coaches, administrators, family and alumni were in attendance in celebration of the history and tradition of the premier combined program in all of collegiate track and field.

History of the

More than 100 LSU Track & Field alumni representing six decades of excellence were on hand for the inaugural LSU Track & Field Team Awards and Alumni Recognition Banquet held April 16, 2010.

LSU track & field banquet The weekend of the LSU Alumni Gold has served as a true celebration of the rich history and tradition of the NCAA’s most storied track and field program in recent years 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 three seasons.

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.

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.

2 0 1 3 t r a c k & f i e l d M EDIA G U IDE

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 63 individual and 66 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.

“Our team takes great pride in giving back to our community. We’ve been given a great opportunity at LSU, and it’s important for us to show our appreciation by giving back to this great community we all call home.”

- Walter Henning LSU Track & Field Great

Delmont Elementary School During the 2011 season, members of the LSU Track & Field teams took time out of their weekly training schedule to visit students at Delmont Elementary School on Douglas Avenue in North Baton Rouge. They served as mentors of students through the fifth grade while visiting classrooms throughout the year and talking about the benefits of education.

Community OUTREACH

LSU student-athletes participate in a variety of community service projects including reading in schools, nursing home visits, hospital pediatric ward visits and speaking engagements.

LSU’s Read Across America Two-time SEC Community Service Team member Brandon Gordon was among those LSU student-athletes who served as part of the annual “Read Across America” event on March 2 during the 2012 indoor track season. Gordon read to students at Winbourne Elementary School, while other LSU student-athletes joined the program at The Dunham School and Buchanan Elementary School in Baton Rouge.

Helping the Homeless The Tigers and Lady Tigers volunteer their time throughout the year 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. Seniors Damar Forbes and Kimberlyn Duncan (pictured above) are two of many athletes who enjoy serving at the shelter.

Spring Greening Day Distance runner Michelle Mobley (pictured) and members of the LSU Track & Field program were among the school’s 49 student-athletes who took part in the third-annual Spring Greening Day in May 2012. They helped beautify the LSU campus to help kick off the spring season, including planting flowers outside of Pleasant Hall and spreading mulch under the oak trees outlining the Parade Grounds.

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 2013 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 have the chance 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.”

University Medal

Academic SUCCESS

Three members of the LSU Track & Field program have received the University Medal as part of commencement ceremonies since 2008, recognizing students with the highest grade-point average in their graduating class. Lady Tiger distance standout Laura Carleton (pictured) is the latest to receive the University Medal after graduating with her degree in management with a perfect 4.0 cumulative GPA. Carleton is a senior in athletic eligibility as she is pursuing a Master’s of Business Administration while competing as one of the SEC’s elite distance runners in 2013.

Critical to the development of a student-athlete is an adequate academic facility and capable staff to further the athlete’s progress. The Cox Communications Academic Center for Student-Athletes is responsible for overseeing the educational development and progress toward graduation for all student-athletes. The staff acts as a liaison between the student-athlete and the academic communities and insures that student-athletes comply with academic rules established by the University, Southeastern Conference and NCAA. The staff also coordinates academic programs designed to assist student-athletes in acquiring a quality education.

“There is no better environment for a student-athlete to compete at the highest level of our sport while receiving a world-class education than we have here at LSU. We provide our young men and women with the support they need to work toward their degree and the tools to then go out and flourish in the career path they choose.”

Champions Day AT THE WHITE HOUSE

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.

“We are excited about the opportunity to compete at the newly renovated Bernie Moore Track Stadium. With the installation of a Mondo FTX surface, the same surface used during the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, and complete renovation of the jumps and throws areas, our athletes now have one of the premier venues in the NCAA in which to compete.”

Home OF THE CHAMPIONS The heart of any track and field program lies in its facility. LSU is fortunate enough to own one of the finest track facilities in America and the world in the Bernie Moore Track Stadium.

44 LSU

2 0 1 3 t r a c k & f i e l d M EDIA G U IDE

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 Built in 1975, the Carl Maddox Field House features a 200-meter unbanked track, elevated jump runways, a variety of throwing areas and multiple high jump and vaulting areas. With a seating capacity of 3,000, the Carl Maddox Field House is an ideal place to catch LSU’s national champion track and field team in action during the indoor

Media Training

The Library The library provides a perfect setting for individual study, or with a tutor as a group.

LSU is one of the few schools where student-athletes go through media training to enhance their communication skills. Dr. Tommy Karam and Dr. Shirley White are two experts in the field who give training sessions to student-athletes here on campus. The Academic Center features a mock press conference setting to get student-athletes acclimated to giving interviews in front of both print and electronic media. Karam and White record the mock interviews on camera and then provide feedback, allowing student-athletes to become more comfortable and confident when doing actual interviews.

Academic Center A $15 million renovation to the Gym Armory in 2002 not only made it among the nation’s premier academic centers, but put it at the forefront.

Improvements to the existing center give LSU student-athletes the best opportunity for success by providing access to the latest technology, as well as an array of expanded services.

The Broussard training center boasts the largest hydrotherapy pool in both collegiate and professional sports.

Road To Recovery

LSU is one of the top schools in the nation in getting its student-athletes back on the track in a timely manner following an injury. The training staff takes a progressive approach to injury identification and thinks “out of the box.” LSU consults with allied health professionals and uses state-of-the-art surgical procedures that give an athlete a quicker recovery time while looking out for his or her future.

Rehabilitation LSU’s Broussard Center for Athletic Training boasts some of the most technologically advanced equipment to aid the recuperation and rehabilitation of LSU’s student-athletes.

Real-Time X-Rays A new state-of-the-art fluoroscope was added in the summer of 2008 that will provide LSU trainers the opportunity to take x-rays on site in the Operations Center. The machine can provide real-time images of the internal structures of a patient.

“The training staff at LSU does an outstanding job of getting the athletes ready to compete at the highest level of collegiate track and field. I was able to compete at the NCAA Championships each year I was here, and I owe it all to the work of our training staff in keeping me in top shape throughout my career.

LSU Interim President/Chancellor

LSU

Dr. William L. Jenkins Interim President/ Interim Chancellor, LSU

Dr. William L. Jenkins is serving his second term as President of the Louisiana State University System, which has an annual budget of $3.4 billion and more than 54,000 students at 10 institutions, including four academic campuses, a law center, one of the world’s leading obesity research centers, a statewide AgCenter extension service, two health science centers and 10 public hospitals.

Jenkins returned to his duties leading the LSU System as Interim President after serving until 2007 as the fifth system chief executive. In June, he was also named the Interim Chancellor of the Baton Rouge LSU campus.

Prior to becoming System President, Dr. Jenkins, a veterinary scholar, held virtually every major administrative position at LSU, including provost and chancellor, since coming to the university as Dean of the LSU School of Veterinary Medicine in 1988.

Jenkins’ tenure as System President was marked by unprecedented growth and challenges, including destruction at LSU institutions in New Orleans in the aftermath of hurricanes in the fall of 2005.

Although faced with a fiscal crisis and deep budget cuts that disrupted academics and forced the furloughs and firings of thousands of LSU employees, Jenkins pressed for calm and reflexive responses to the calamities.

A South Africa native, Dr. Jenkins received his veterinary medicine degree from the University of Pretoria in 1958 and specialist credentials in 1968. Following his graduation, he came to the United States where, in 1970, he received his Ph.D in veterinary medicine from the University of Missouri in Columbia. He returned to South Africa where he practiced veterinary medicine for four years before joining the faculty at the University of Pretoria, advancing through the ranks to become professor and head of the Department of Veterinary Physiology, Pharmacology and Toxicology.

In 1978, Dr. Jenkins became a member of the faculty in the Department of Veterinary Physiology and Pharmacology at Texas A&M University. He was appointed dean of the LSU School of Veterinary Medicine in 1988 and was named LSU’s provost and vice chancellor for academic affairs in September 1993. Three years later in 1996, the LSU Board of Supervisors named him LSU’s fifth chancellor.

As chancellor, Dr. Jenkins led the reorganization of the main campus administration to make it more efficient and lead the effort to produce a strategic plan, measures that were major factors in the crafting of LSU’s Flagship Agenda.

As a teacher and administrator, Dr. Jenkins has received numerous teaching and public service awards. In 1997, the Public Relations Association of Louisiana named him Communicator of the Year and the regional chapter of Toastmasters International presented him with its 1999 Communication and Leadership Award.

Other honors include the Vision of Excellence Award in 2000 by the New Orleans Regional Chamber of Commerce and the New Orleans Chapter of MetroVision. In addition, his alma mater, the University of Pretoria, bestowed an Honorary Doctorate on Dr. Jenkins in September of 2000. The Southern Economic Development Conference also presented him with the Volunteer of the Year Award in 2004.

An active participant in national continuing education efforts, Dr. Jenkins has delivered more than 150 lectures and addresses to diverse groups in both the United States and abroad. The co-author of a textbook on veterinary pharmacology, Dr. Jenkins also has taught extensively at both the professional and graduate levels written more than 60 scientific articles and contributed 15 chapters to various collegiate textbooks.

Dr. Jenkins has been active in numerous professional and civic organizations as well as select national committees. He served on the National Institute of Health’s Alcohol Abuse and Misuse on College Campuses Committee and on a special Steering Committee of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools that reviewed accreditation criteria for colleges and universities. Dr. Jenkins also is a member of the National Association of State Universities and Land Grant Colleges’ Committee on Food and Society and is a member of the Governor’s Advisory Commission on Coastal Restoration and Conservation.

In addition, he has served on a number of public boards such as the Louisiana Endowment for the Humanities, The Nature Conservancy of Louisiana, Teach for America South Louisiana, and the Greater Baton Rouge Chamber of Commerce.

Dr. Jenkins and his wife, Peggy, have four children — Sharon, Gwynn, Anthea, and Warren — and nine grandchildren.

Dr. Bill DeMastes Faculty Athletics Representative Dr. Bill DeMastes, a professor of English at LSU, is in his first year as Faculty Athletics Representative. Dr. Demastes earned his Ph.D in English in 1986 from the University of WisconsinMadison with a Field of Study of Drama as Genre and a speciailization in 20th-Century American and British Drama. He earned his masters in English in June 1979 from the Univeristy of Georgia in Athens where he specialized in 19th-Century American Literature.

Education

50 LSU

2 0 1 3 t r a c k & f i e l d M EDIA G U IDE

Department of English from 1999-2001 and 2010-11. He has also served as Associate Chair of the Department of English (1998-99), Director of the Master of Arts in Liberal Arts Program (1996-2004) and Director of Graduate Studies in the Department of English (1992-94; 2006-06).

He was honored with the LSU Alumni Association Faculty Excellence Award in 2000, and in 2002 won the LSU Distinguished Faculty Award.

He was named in 2009 an LSU Rainmaker which is given to the top 100 LSU Faculty. In 2010, he was named the Tiger Athletic Foundation undergraduate Teaching Award University College and in the summer of 2011 was named the Harry Ransom Summer Fellowship recipient from the University of Texas.

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 fifth year at LSU, Alleva is dedicated to athletic and academic excellence, and is committed to providing the opportunities and the resources necessary for studentathletes to excel in competition, in the classroom and in the community. LSU’s prominence was evident in the final 2011-12 Capital One Cup standings that recognize the nation’s best athletic programs. With a national championship and three Southeastern Conference titles during the year, the Tigers finished fourth in both the men’s and women’s Capital One Cup competition, one of only two schools in the country – and the only one in the SEC -- to rank in the top four in both categories.

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 of 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 on Tiger Stadium that were in disrepair and a new coating to the façade of the structure is bringing the old stadium to new life. A renovated gating system on the west side of the stadium debuted in the fall of 2012 that includes a plaza that celebrates LSU’s football national championships and recognition walls that honor Tiger AllAmericans.

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.

Under Alleva’s direction, LSU’s world-renowned track and field program received a state-of the-art running surface in 2010 when a new track was installed in Bernie Moore Stadium.

Extensive renovations to the Tiger soccer facility were completed last fall, and future plans include a new gymnastics practice facility, a tennis complex and renovations to the Pete Maravich Assembly Center and Carl Maddox Field House.

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 in the same season. The Lady Tiger golfers have finished third at the NCAA Championships two years in a row, marking the highest finishes in LSU history.

LSU Athletics completed another highly successful year in 2011-12 as 18 of the Tigers’ 20 varsity sports participated in NCAA post-season competition. 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 Outdoor 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 both the SEC title in both football and baseball in the same athletic year.

But the 2011-12 year was about more than just athletic success. Living up to Alleva’s mantra of “competition, classroom, community,” LSU studentathletes logged more than 3,700 hours in community service work across 20 sports through LSU’s Geaux Givers program. And 62 proud Tigers received their degrees from the university during LSU commencement ceremonies in May.

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 over the past two years. He hired former LSU guard Johnny Jones in April 2012 to breathe new life and enthusiasm into the men’s basketball program and recently added Julia Sell as the new women’s tennis coach. Last year, 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.

2013 Men’s Season Preview

Balanced Attack

The Tigers look to contend for the 2013 national championship after finishing as the NCAA Outdoor runners-up a year ago.

Tigers mix balance and firepower in championship formula The Tigers featured a balanced attack while finishing just two points shy of a national championship as they scored 48 points for a runner-up finish in the team race at the 2012 NCAA Division I Outdoor Track & Field Championships in an exciting conclusion to the college season a year ago.

Leading the way were 12 All-Americans scoring in events ranging from the sprints, hurdles and relays, to the jumps and throws as the Tigers again proved themselves among the best teams in all of collegiate track and field.

They will look to follow that formula for success again in 2013 as they again feature one of the more balanced rosters in the country featuring AllAmerica candidates across each of the event areas. With three-time NCAA long jump silver medalist Damar Forbes leading the way and emerging sprint star Aaron Ernest contending for NCAA titles on the track, the team boasts a host of returning firepower and an infusion of talent with one of the nation’s top recruiting classes that is sure to lead LSU the pinnacle of collegiate track and field again this spring.

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 edition will highlight the future of the program as a talented crop of freshmen and sophomores will provide the core of LSU’s sprint group.

Caleb Williams is the only senior in the group with NCAA Championships experience as he is looking to build on a breakout junior season in which he earned All-America honors in the 400-meter dash for the first time in his collegiate career. Already an All-

52 LSU

American as a member of LSU’s 4x400meter relay team, Williams earned a fifth-place finish in his first national final in the open 400 meters at the NCAA Indoor Championships a year ago.

Despite seeing his outdoor season cut short due to a hamstring injury, Williams’ status as one of the NCAA’s elite quartermilers has been solidified after claiming five All-America honors and setting personal records of 46.08 indoors and 45.61 outdoors in the event.

The 2012 season also saw the emergence of New Orleans native Aaron Ernest as one of the rising sprint stars in collegiate track and field while winning a trio of All-America honors with his debut at the NCAA Division I Outdoor Track & Field Championships.

Ernest scored 7.5 points for the Tigers in his first career appearance at the NCAA meet as he finished in fifth place in the 200 meters, eighth place in the 100 meters and ran the second leg on LSU’s national champion 4x100meter relay squad. Ernest teamed with Barrett Nugent, Keyth Talley and Shermund Allsop to win the program’s eighth NCAA title all-time for the sprint relay as they ran the seventh-fastest time in collegiate history at 38.38 in the national final.

Ernest, who also won three All-SEC honors during his rookie year, took his performance to another level during the summer when he represented the United States at the IAAF World Junior Championships in Barcelona, Spain. He swept sprint silver medals while setting new personal bests of 10.17 in the 100 meters and 20.53 in the 200 meters before anchoring the USA to a gold medal in the 4x100 relay with a world junior record of 38.67.

While Williams and Ernest provide the Tigers with a strong foundation in both the sprints and relays, they are joined by a talented crop of underclassmen to round out the squad.

2 0 1 3 t r a c k & f i e l d M EDIA G U IDE

Allsop returns to LSU for his junior season after anchoring the Tigers to an NCAA crown in the 4x100 relay in his first NCAA Championships a year ago. A native of the Caribbean nation of Trinidad & Tobago, Allsop smashed his personal bests as an NCAA Championship qualifier in both the 100 meters (10.29) and 200 meters (20.71) during his sophomore season in 2012.

Also returning to the squad this season are a pair of NCAA qualifiers in the 100 meters in junior Rynell Parson and sophomore Trevor Sansone. Parson, the former World Youth Record Holder in the event with a PR of 10.23, was the fifth-place finisher in the 100-meter final at the SEC Championships a year ago.

Sansone set a personal best of 10.54 in the event in his freshman season while also seeing action on the 4x100 relay during the regular season.

Joining the Tigers as part of their recruiting Class of 2012 are freshmen Darrell Bush (Woodbury, N.J.), Cyril Grayson (Kenner, La.) and Nethaneel Mitchell-Blake (Mandeville, Jamaica).

Mitchell-Blake signed with the Tigers with PRs of 10.49 in the 100 meters and 21.49 in the 200 meters, while Bush has run 46.95 and Grayson has run 47.16 in the 400 meters.

The Tigers are also happy to welcome two members of the LSU football team to the track during the spring season as freshmen Kavahra Holmes (Breaux Bridge, La.) and Derrick Raymond (New Orleans, La.) are the next generation of two-sport stars at LSU. With a top time of 46.07 set during his prep career, Holmes was the No. 2-ranked 400-meter recruit in the country as a former AAU Junior Olympics champion in the event. Raymond posted personal bests of 10.52w in the 100 meters and 21.51w in the 200 meters during his high school career.

Hurdles The 2012 season witnessed the end of an era for the LSU Track & Field program as Barrett Nugent hung up his spikes as the most decorated sprint hurdler to ever wear the purple and gold.

In four seasons with the Tigers, Nugent captured a pair of NCAA event titles, as well as four SEC titles and 10 All-America honors as one of the true greats in team history.

And Nugent went out with a recordbreaking senior season a year ago when he shattered both of his own school records in the 60-meter hurdles indoors and 110-meter hurdles outdoors as an All-American in each event. Nugent won the NCAA Indoor bronze medal with a school-record run of 7.55 before finishing in fourth place nationally in his final hurdle race for the Tigers at the NCAA Outdoor meet in 2012. He then followed the collegiate season by winning the silver medal in the 110 hurdles for the United States when he again broke his own school record with an effort of 13.32 at the North American, Central American & Caribbean Under-23 Championships.

The 2011 NCAA champion in the 110 hurdles, Nugent also made history in defending his conference title in the event at the SEC Outdoor Championships held at LSU’s Bernie Moore Track Stadium a year ago. Nugent dominated the SEC final with a run of 13.40 to claim his third-straight SEC Outdoor title in the event, becoming the first LSU Tiger in history to earn three SEC Outdoor championships in the sprint hurdles in a career.

While it is impossible to fill the shoes left behind by Nugent’s departure, the Tigers welcome two of the nation’s premier prep hurdlers into the program this spring as Rashad Hulbert (Crete, Ill.) and Joshua Lamers (Shreveport, La.) helped form LSU’s Class of 2012.

Hulbert is a talented dual hurdler

Caleb Williams who joined the program with personal bests of 13.99 in the 110 hurdles and 36.91 seconds in the 300 hurdles set during his senior season at Crete-Monee High School. He ranked No. 10 nationally among prep performers in the 300 hurdles a season ago as a high school senior. Hulbert also set a PR of 54.01 in the 400 hurdles.

Lamers signed with the Tigers during a record-setting senior season at Calvary Baptist Academy as one of the elite sprint hurdlers in the United States. Lamers actually broke Nugent’s state meet record with a personal best of 7.30 to win the 55 hurdles at the Division II state title in 2012. He also broke the Class 2A state meet record in the 110 hurdles outdoors with his best time of 13.86 to rank No. 8 nationally in the event.

Middle Distance/Distance The Tigers have built a strong tradition in the middle distance events under the direction of assistant head coach Mark Elliott, and they will compete in 2012 with another strong squad of 800-meter runners led by senior Howard Shepard and sophomore Quincy Downing.

After sitting out the 2012 indoor season following his transfer from the University of Louisville, Shepard made an immediate impact on the squad as one of the SEC leaders in the 800 meters. An NCAA semifinalist in the event in his first season at LSU, Shepard was the fifthplace finisher in the 800-meter final at the SEC Championships.

Shepard ranked among the NCAA leaders in 2012 as his personal best of 1:47.87 put him in the No. 9 spot on LSU’s all-time performance list in the 800 meters.

Downing, one of the team’s five returning All-Americans from a year ago, is sure to split his time between the 400 meters and 800 meters while also providing the Tigers with depth in the 4x400-meter relay this spring. Downing certainly showed his potential as a freshman a year ago as he was both an SEC scorer in the 800 meters and national semifinalist in the 400 meters during the outdoor season. He set PRs of 46.18 in the 400 meters and 1:50.68 in the 800 meters.

Downing earned international experience a season ago when he ran the leadoff leg for the United States on

the team that won the gold medal in the 4x400 relay at the IAAF World Junior Championships held in Barcelona, Spain, last summer.

Julian Parker is a talented newcomer for the Tigers who joins the program after two years as a member of one of the nation’s leading junior college programs at South Plains College. A product of Catholic High School in Baton Rouge, Parker owns a personal best of 1:50.32 that was set during his sophomore season at South Plains last spring.

Jumps After qualifying for the national final in the long jump at the 2011 NCAA Division I Outdoor Track & Field Championships, Tiger standout Damar Forbes soared into the record book when he smashed his personal record and joined the 27-foot club by jumping 27 feet, 0 inches for his effort with one of the more impressive performances by an LSU Tiger in recent memory.

That performance earned Forbes his first career All-America accolade as the sophomore finished as the NCAA runnerup and within six inches of taking home his first career NCAA title. He became the first Tiger since John Moffitt in 2004 to eclipse the 27-foot mark in the long jump with the No. 3-ranked mark on LSU’s all-time outdoor performance list in the event.

Forbes followed with a sensational junior season in 2012 during which he won two more NCAA silver medals as the national runner-up during both the indoor and outdoor seasons.

Also a three-time All-SEC selection in the long jump during his collegiate career, Forbes is a national championship contender once again as he leads the way for the Tigers as a senior this season. He is the only Olympian returning to the LSU roster this year after making his Olympics debut for Jamaica last summer while earning an 18th-place finish in the long jump.

While Forbes returns for what is sure to be an exciting senior season this spring, the Tigers are without their top scorer from the NCAA Outdoor Championships a season ago with the departure of one of the nation’s premier dual jumpers in Kyron Blaise.

The Trinidad & Tobago international earned three All-America honors in his

Rodney Brown

Damar Forbes final season with the Tigers in 2012.

Blaise scored a team-leading nine points with his performance at the NCAA Outdoor Championships as he won the bronze medal with a third-place finish in the triple jump and added three points with a sixth-place finish in the long jump.

In all, Blaise won a trio of All-America honors and a pair of All-SEC honors during his senior season.

The Tigers do return a deep and talented squad of pole vaulters, led by All-SEC selection Thomas Reinecke for his senior season and NCAA Championship qualifier Andreas Duplantis for his sophomore season as they also look to lead the group in 2013.

Duplantis is the team’s top returning vaulter after clearing his personal record of 17-5 ½ at the NCAA East Preliminary Rounds and advancing to the national semifinal as a freshman.

He also cleared 17-4 ½ in his debut at the SEC Outdoor Championships while finishing the season as the No. 9-ranked performer in the event in the program’s history.

A native of Lafayette and son of former Tiger All-American Greg Duplantis, the younger Duplantis earned international experience following the collegiate season while competing for the Swedish National Team at the IAAF World Junior Championships in Barcelona, Spain.

Reinecke, a former All-SEC performer in the pole vault as the SEC Indoor silver medalist in 2010, cleared his personal best of 17-4 ½ as a junior a year ago.

Senior Joseph Caraway is also a member of the 17-foot club with a best of 17-0 ¾ during his collegiate career.

Throws While giving Tiger fans a glimpse of their potential as freshmen a season ago, Rodney Brown and Jeremy Tuttle are poised for breakout sophomore seasons as they look to lead the new era of throwing at LSU as two of the NCAA’s bright young stars.

Brown proved himself as one of the nation’s elite discus throwers with his performance a year ago when he opened the outdoor campaign by setting a personal record of 190-8 in the event in a runner-up finish at the Louisiana Classics. That ranked No. 4 among freshmen and No. 13 for all classifications in the NCAA rankings for the 2012 season.

After competing at the NCAA East Preliminary Rounds to finish the collegiate season, Brown kicked off his summer schedule with a record-setting performance at the 2012 USA Junior Outdoor Track & Field Championships as he was crowned the U.S. Junior champion in the discus throw in the event held in Bloomington, Ind. That’s where he threw the 1.75 kg. junior implement a record distance of 2069, shattering the previous USA Junior Championships meet record of 204-3 set by four-time NCAA silver medalist Mason Finley back in 2009.

With his performance, Brown earned the right to represent the United States at the IAAF World Junior Championships in Barcelona and ended the 2012 season as the No. 2-ranked junior discus thrower worldwide.

The Chappell Hill, Texas, native is also looking to develop in the shot put after wrapping up his rookie campaign with a lifetime PR of 56-3 while throwing the senior shot for the first time in his career. He was the seventh-place finisher in the shot put final at the SEC Championships in both the indoor and outdoor seasons as a freshman.

While Brown earned a reputation as one of the NCAA’s emerging stars in the discus with his performance as a freshman, Tuttle emerged as an AllAmerica contender in the javelin as an NCAA Championships semifinalist in the event. After smashing his personal best with a throw of 227-6 in a fifth-place finish at the SEC Championships, Tuttle followed with a best mark of 218-7 at the NCAA East Preliminary Rounds to advance to the national semifinals.

A native of Sierra Vista, Ariz., Tuttle was one of the top scoring Tigers at the SEC Outdoor Championships as he also earned a fourth-place finish in the hammer throw in his debut at the conference meet. He finished the season with a personal best of 188-9 in the hammer event.

Also providing the Tigers with depth at the SEC and NCAA Championships this spring is senior Daniel Obioha. A former SEC scorer and NCAA qualifier in the discus, Obioha was limited in his performance with a back injury a year ago. He’s back to full strength and looking to improve upon his PR of 167-9 in the event this spring.

2013 Women’s Season Preview

Title Contenders

Kimberlyn Duncan will lead the charge for the Lady Tigers once again in 2013.

lady tigers ready for championship run in 2012 After earning a third-place finish at the NCAA Indoor Championships and defending their crown at the SEC Outdoor Championships during the 2012 season, the Lady Tigers are poised for another championship run as they return six All-Americans and one of the nation’s top recruiting classes that will provide the foundation for one of the NCAA’s most talented teams this spring. Like the men’s team, the Lady Tigers feature a balanced squad with All-America hopefuls in each of the five event areas, including the sprints, hurdles, jumps, throws and middle distances. That firepower is sure to lead the Lady Tigers into the championship chase again in 2013.

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 will witness the end of an era as senior Kimberlyn Duncan steps onto the track for the final time as one of the most decorated sprinters in the history of collegiate track and field.

Duncan cemented her legacy as one of the NCAA’s great sprinters with a history-making junior season in 2012 as she defended her NCAA Indoor and NCAA Outdoor titles in the 200-meter dash, becoming the first sprinter in collegiate history to sweep national titles in the event in back-to-back seasons.

Duncan smashed her own low-altitude collegiate record in the 200 meters outdoors with a personal record of 22.19 seconds clocked in the semifinals at the NCAA Division I Outdoor Track & Field Championships.

Duncan also emerged as one of the world’s bright young stars in the 100meter dash after she became just the fifth collegiate sprinter in history to break 11 seconds by setting the SEC Championships meet record with a run

54 LSU

of 10.96 in claiming her first conference championship in the event. A two-time NCAA silver medalist in the 100 meters, Duncan is now the No. 3-ranked sprinter in collegiate history in both sprinting events.

In her three seasons with the Lady Tigers, Duncan has captured five NCAA championships, seven SEC championships and nine All-America honors as one of the most decorated sprinters to ever wear the purple and gold. She has also twice been honored as a finalist for The Bowerman following the 2011 and 2012 seasons.

Takeia Pinckney also makes her return as an All-American for the Lady Tigers in 2013 as she competes as a senior indoors and junior outdoors this spring.

Pinckney is hoping to recapture the All-America form she displayed as a true freshman in 2010 when she was the fourth-place finisher in the 100-meter final at the NCAA Outdoor meet. She boasts personal bests of 7.24 in the 60 meters, 11.26 in the 100 meters and 23.32 in the 200 meters. Pinckney also led off LSU’s vaunted 4x100-meter relay team throughout the 2012 season.

Among those providing the Lady Tigers with depth in their 4x100-meter relay pool is the likes of sprinters Toshika Sylvester and Aaliyah Davis and hurdler Jasmin Stowers.

In her two season with the Lady Tigers, Sylvester has set personal records of 7.37 in the 60 meters, 11.54 in the 100 meters and 23.87 in the 200 meters as a former NCAA Championship semifinalist in the sprints. Davis is LSU’s top sprint recruit in the Class of 2012 as she signed her National Letter of Intent with PRs of 11.73w in the 100 meters and 23.89 in the 200 meters after a heralded prep career at Spring Hill High School in Longview, Texas.

The Lady Tigers also enter the 2013 season as the defending NCAA Indoor

2 0 1 3 t r a c k & f i e l d M EDIA G U IDE

champions and NCAA Outdoor silver medalists in the 4x400-meter relay following a record-breaking season a year ago. In fact, they slashed nearly one second off the school record with the run of 3 minutes, 24.59 seconds in the national final outdoors for the thirdfastest time in collegiate history.

Siedda Herbert and Latoya McDermott return for their senior seasons as Herbert ran the third leg on the team that claimed the NCAA Indoor crown and McDermott ran the leadoff leg on the team that set the school record in the final at the NCAA Outdoor meet a year ago.

The Lady Tigers will rely on the core of their 2012 signing class to provide needed depth in the 4x400-meter relay, including a trio of junior transfers in Natoya Goule and Shana-Gaye Tracey from South Plains College and Nikita Tracey from Oklahoma Baptist University. An 800 specialist, Goule owns a personal best of 51.52 in the 400-meter dash that she set during her freshman campaign. Nikita Tracey is a two-time NAIA champion in the 400-meter hurdles, while Shana-Gaye Tracey is a former junior college national champion in the 400 hurdles as well.

Hurdles While the Lady Tigers are sure to score most of their points in the sprints and relays as they compete for SEC and NCAA championships again this spring, they will also pack a punch in the hurdle events as a team featuring national title and All-American contenders in both the sprint hurdles and intermediate hurdles during the 2013 season.

Jasmin Stowers has certainly earned her reputation as one of the NCAA’s elite hurdlers in the 60-meter hurdles and 100-meter hurdles with her performance in two seasons with the Lady Tigers.

A three-time All-American and fourtime SEC champion, Stowers is sure to

contend for a national title in each event as one of the nation’s top returning hurdlers from a year ago.

Stowers enjoyed her best races in defending her conference titles last season as she ran an impressive personal best of 8.03 to win her second SEC Indoor title in the 60 hurdles and a seasonal best of 12.92 to win her second SEC Outdoor title in the 100 hurdles in as many seasons. She also set her PR of 12.88 in the 100 hurdles in winning the SEC Outdoor crown as a freshman.

Stowers is unmatched against her SEC rivals as she has won all four hurdle finals she has raced at the SEC Championships in her two seasons at LSU. She wrapped up her sophomore year in 2012 with a fifth-place finish nationally in the 100 hurdles at the NCAA Outdoor meet.

Senior Shanekia Hall also returns as an NCAA Championship qualifier during the indoor and outdoor seasons a year ago as she is poised to reach All-America status as an NCAA scorer in 2013. Hall set PRs of 8.15 in the 60 hurdles and 13.11 in the 100 hurdles in her first year with the Lady Tigers after transferring from Essex County College last season.

While Stowers and Hall return as All-America contenders in the sprint hurdles, LSU must fill the void left by NCAA champion Cassandra Tate as the nation’s leading 400-meter hurdler during her senior season a season ago.

Tate became the fourth Lady Tiger in team history to claim the NCAA Outdoor crown in the event with her winning run of 55.22 in last year’s final.

Two-time NAIA national champion Nikita Tracey joins the program following two years at Oklahoma Baptist University where she dominated the competition in the National Association for Intercollegiate Athletics. A native of Clarendon, Jamaica, Tracey has run a PR

Jasmin Stowers of 56.89 in the 400-meter hurdles as one of the top young stars in her native country.

The Lady Tigers also signed 2011 junior college national champion ShanaGaye Tracey (no relation) to a National Letter of Intent as part of their Class of 2012. A fellow Jamaican international, Shana-Gaye Tracey set her personal best of 57.74 in the 400 hurdles during her stint at South Plains College where she claimed the junior college national title as a freshman.

Middle Distance/Distance The Lady Tigers have produced some of the nation’s leading performers in the middle distance events in recent years, and they are sure to contend for postseason recognition once again in 2013 as Hempstead, N.Y., native Charlene Lipsey returns for her senior season to lead the team as a national championship contender in the 800 meters.

Lipsey, who signed with the Lady Tigers as the No. 1-ranked 800-meter recruit in the country for the Class of 2009, has certainly lived up to the hype as she enters her senior season as the reigning NCAA Outdoor silver medalist in the event. She has now claimed three All-America honors in her career, which also includes a fourth-place finish at the NCAA Outdoor meet in 2011 and a seventh-place finish at the NCAA Indoor meet a season ago.

Lipsey also has her sights set on taking down LSU’s school records in the women’s 800 meters as she already ranks No. 3 indoors at 2:03.79 and tied for No. 2 outdoors at 2:01.40 among Lady Tigers all-time.

Samantha Levin also returns as one of the nation’s leading freshmen in the 800-meter run as an SEC scorer and NCAA qualifier in the event a year ago.

Levin boasts a PR of 2:06.74 set in her senior year of high school at Ladue Horton Watkins High School in St. Louis.

And by signing Jamaican international Natoya Goule to a National Letter of Intent as one of the top recruits joining the NCAA ranks in the Class of 2012, the Lady Tigers are sure to compete with one of the deepest stables of 800meter runners during the 2013 season.

A native of Clarendon, Jamaica, and product of South Plains College, Goule joined the Lady Tigers as a 10-time

junior college national champion while setting PRs of 51.52 in the 400 meters and 2:01.45 in the 800 meters in the two seasons prior to her arrival in Baton Rouge.

Leading the Lady Tigers in the long distance races is Laura Carleton as she returns for her senior season as one of the top distance runners in the SEC and NCAA. Carleton missed earning a spot in the national semifinal in the 5,000 meters by just one spot with her 13th-place finish at the NCAA East Preliminary Rounds, while she was also an SEC scorer in the 1,500 meters outdoors and 3,000 meters indoors at the SEC Championships.

Carleton will run in 2013 with personal bests of 4:22.31 in the 1,500 meters, 4:43.12 in the mile, 9:29.44 in the 3,000 meters and 16:28.08 in the 5,000 meters that she season last season.

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 the group will help lead LSU into contention at the SEC and NCAA Championships once again in 2013 with a host of All-America hopefuls.

Leading the way for the Lady Tigers is All-SEC senior Brittany Porter as one of the elite long jumpers returning to the NCAA ranks this spring and rising junior Lynnika Pitts as a NCAA Championships qualifier in both the long jump and triple jump a year ago.

After setting an indoor personal best of 20-1 ½ in the long jump, Porter earned her first career all-conference honor in the event during the outdoor season with a silver-medal-winning runner-up finish while setting a career-best wind-aided mark of 20-9 ¼ at the SEC Outdoor Track & Field Championships. She then soared to a wind-legal personal best of 20-5 at the NCAA East Preliminary Rounds before finishing in 15th place at the NCAA Championships.

Pitts emerged as one of the nation’s leading triple jumpers during the 2012 indoor season when she won the SEC Indoor bronze medal in the event with a third-place finish at the SEC Indoor Championships. She then qualified for the NCAA Championships with her performance at the LSU NCAA Indoor

Brittany Porter

Charlene Lipsey Qualifier where she jumped a lifetime best of 42-9 ¾.

Pitts is certainly the most versatile jumper for the Lady Tigers returning to the club as she also set PRs of 5-9 ¾ in the high jump and 20-5 ¾w in the long jump a season ago.

The jumps squad welcomes a strong recruiting class into the program that is sure to make an impact on each of the three jumps as well as the multievents this spring. Junior college national champion Keri Emanuel (North Charleston, S.C.), Jamaican high jumper Shanice Hall (St. Catherine, Jamaica) and Swedish heptathlete Therese Jernbeck (Stockholm, Sweden) are sure to make an immediate impact in their first season in the program.

A product of South Plains College, Emanuel was crowned the junior college national champion in both the long jump and triple jump during her sophomore season in 2012 with marks of 20-1 in the long jump and 41-1 ¾ in the triple jump in the national sweep. Emanuel actually set a wind-legal PR of 43-10 in the triple jump in a third-place finish at the 2012 Texas Relays, while she also owns a lifetime best of 20-5 in the long jump.

Hall is a decorated high jump recruit who joins the Lady Tigers following her prep career at Wolmer’s Trust High School for Girls where she cleared a personal record of 6-0 ¾ as a senior a year ago. A 2010 Carifta Games gold medalist, Hall cleared 5-10 ¾ five times in high school.

Jernbeck owns an extensive international pedigree as one of the top multi-event prospects in Europe while competing for two seasons as a member of Swedish National Team.

She set a PR score of 5,324 points in a 12th-place finish in the heptathlon at the 2011 European Junior Athletics Championships. She joins SEC scorer Kaitlyn Moreau in giving the Lady Tigers a strong team of multi-event athletes in the 2013 season.

Throws The Lady Tigers feature a strong throws group this spring that blends youth and experience in a recipe that is sure to impact their postseason fortunes while entering the season as a contender to take home SEC and NCAA titles in 2013. Returning to the squad is a quartet of NCAA qualifiers as they

compete with All-SEC and All-America aspirations this spring.

Annie Simoneaux earned All-SEC honors for the first time in her career as one of the top javelin throwers in the conference during the outdoor season a year ago. With the SEC Outdoor Championships being held at LSU’s Bernie Moore Track Stadium last season, Simoneaux earned the SEC silver medal with a personal-best throw of 157-11 for second place.

While Simoneaux claimed an SEC silver medal with her efforts as a sophomore, the Lady Tigers are also excited to welcome back a pair of SEC bronze medalists as junior Karen Henning and rising sophomore Tori Bliss enjoyed strong 2012 campaigns a season ago.

Henning developed into one of the SEC’s leading weight and hammer throwers with PRs of 60-10 in the weight throw and 197-2 in the hammer throw during her sophomore season.

It was a season in which she earned her best career finish of third place in the hammer throw event at the SEC Championships. Bliss won a bronze medal of her own at the SEC meet as she was a third-place finisher in the shot before putting her PR of 51-7 ¾ at the NCAA East Preliminary Rounds.

Perhaps no Lady Tiger on the roster showed improvement over the course of the 2012 season quite like Denise Hinton, who made her first career NCAA Championships appearance in both the indoor and outdoor seasons.

After missing much of her indoor season as a freshman in 2011, Hinton burst onto the national scene as one of the NCAA’s leading weight throwers as a sophomore as she broke LSU’s school record with a top mark of 69-9 ¾. That performance ranked Hinton as the No. 6 thrower in the NCAA ranks for the 2012 indoor season. Hinton also smashed her personal record outdoors in the hammer throw while ending the year with a best of 191-5.

The Lady Tigers also welcome the addition of prep javelin standout Kelsey Carlsen of Rome, Pa., to the squad as she owns a PR of 147-5. Carlsen emerged as an elite prep recruit while winning a silver medal in the javelin at the 2011 AAU Junior Olympics.

Dennis Shaver Head Coach • Ninth Season • 18th Season at LSU • Texas-Arlington, 1979

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 and 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 19962004. 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 studentathletes 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 enter the 2013 season as the three-time defending SEC Outdoor champions after defending their home turf at the 2012 SEC Outdoor Track & Field Championships held at LSU’s Bernie Moore Track Stadium in Baton Rouge.

It marked the seventh time in Shaver’s tenure as head coach that the Lady Tigers have been crowned Southeastern Conference champions as they have now claimed the SEC Outdoor crown in five of the last six seasons after also taking titles in 2007, 2008, 2010 and 2011. The LSU women have added a pair of SEC Indoor titles while sweeping conference crowns during the 2008 and 2011 seasons.

On the strength of his team’s

58 LSU

performance and the emergence of Kimberlyn Duncan and Cassandra Tate as national champions during the outdoor season, Shaver was honored in 2012 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 during his tenure and has been named the SEC Coach of the Year seven times in eight seasons.

The Tigers and Lady Tigers were impressive once again at the NCAA Championships while joining for four NCAA event titles and 43 All-America honors during the 2012 campaign. The program also brought home a pair of NCAA team trophies a year ago as the Tigers finished as the national runner-up at the NCAA Outdoor Championships and the Lady Tigers claimed a third-place finish at the NCAA Indoor Championships for the third year in a row.

In eight seasons under Shaver’s coaching, LSU has now captured 21 top-five finishes at the NCAA Championships between the indoor and outdoor seasons.

Duncan cemented her legacy as one of the NCAA’s great sprinters during a history-making junior season in 2012 as she defended her NCAA Indoor and NCAAA Outdoor titles in the 200-meter dash, becoming the first sprinter in collegiate history to sweep national championships in the event in back-to-back seasons.

Duncan smashed her own lowaltitude collegiate record in the 200 meters with a personal best of 22.19 seconds in the semifinals at the NCAA Division I Outdoor Track & Field Championships held at Drake Stadium in Des Moines, Iowa.

Duncan also earned a reputation as one of the world’s emerging

2 0 1 3 t r a c k & f i e l d M EDIA G U IDE

stars in the 100-meter dash when she became just the fifth collegiate sprinter all-time to break the 11-second barrier in the event by setting the SEC Championship meet record with a run of 10.96 in the SEC final. The two-time NCAA silver medalist is now the No. 3-ranked 100meter sprinter in collegiate history with her performance.

In three seasons under Shaver’s coaching, Duncan has captured five NCAA championships, seven SEC championships and nine All-America honors as one of the most decorated sprinters in the program’s history.

She has also twice been recognized as a finalist for The Bowerman in 2011 and 2012.

Like Duncan, Tate wrapped up the 2012 campaign as a national champion as she recorded a best of 55.22 to take the NCAA title in the 400-meter hurdles. Tate also helped lead the Lady Tigers to a national title in the 4x400-meter relay during the indoor season as she ran the second leg on a team that featured Rebecca Alexander, Siedda Herbert and Jonique Day as they earned the program’s 13th national title in the event all-time with their victory at the NCAA Indoor Championships.

Alexander, Tate and Day also

joined Latoya McDermott on the leadoff leg of the team that set a new school record of 3 minutes, 24.59 seconds en route to a national runner-up finish in the final race of the collegiate season in the 4x400meter relay final at the NCAA Outdoor Championships.

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 now coached 39 athletes to 49 NCAA event titles in a celebrated career that spans 18 seasons at LSU. His athletes have also captured 119 SEC event titles and 411 All-America honors all-time.

LSU had been on the cusp of adding to its national championship 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 runner-up 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

“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.”

– Joe alleva, LSU Director of athletics 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.

For his team’s performance, Shaver was named the NCAA Women’s Outdoor Coach of the Year by the U.S. Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association, while also sweeping SEC Women’s Indoor and Outdoor Coach of the Year honors in a vote of the league’s head coaches.

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 a national championship in the 400-meter hurdles and a runner-up finish in the final of the 100-meter 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 secondfastest 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 100-meter 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 hurdles.

Jones, who continues to train with Shaver in Baton Rouge, has become one of the recognizable faces in track and field as the world’s leading sprint hurdler. 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 second-straight Olympic final.

LSU carried its momentum into the 2009 season as Shaver again proved why he is one of the more 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 secondstraight national runner-up finish in the 60-meter dash at the NCAA Indoor Championships.

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 Outdoor 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 an LSU record 19 career All-America 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 third-place finish in the final team standings, an effort that was assisted by the national runnerup efforts by Carter in the 200-meter dash and Brazell in the 400-meter hurdles.

While he enters his ninth season as head coach, Shaver has enjoyed 17 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 1990-91, 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 season.

Shaver is regarded as one of the premier

Coach Shaver and his wife, Connie, at the White House for Champions Day in November 2008 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.

Assistant Head Coach

Mark Elliott Assistant Head Coach • 20th Season • LSU, 1991 A fixture at LSU for nearly two decades, first as an athlete and now as a coach, Mark Elliott begins his 20th season with the program and his eighth as an assistant head coach working with LSU’s middle distance and distance runners, as well as its cross country teams in the fall.

While coaching one of the nation’s elite groups of middle distance runners, Elliott has also proven himself as one of the premier recruiters in all of collegiate track and field while helping the Tigers and Lady Tigers assemble a world-class roster each season in their pursuit of a national championship. In particular, Elliott’s ties to the Caribbean have helped stockpile elite talent in Baton Rouge to provide the foundation for a championship program year in and year out.

Since first joining the program as a student-athlete himself in 1989 and later as a coach in 1994, the Tigers and Lady Tigers have combined to win 22 NCAA championships and 19 SEC championships as the premier combined program in all of collegiate track and field.

Charlene Lipsey has carried the torch for the Lady Tigers in the middle distance events during her collegiate career as she emerged as a national championship contender in the 800-meter run on the strength of her performance as a junior during the 2012 season.

Lipsey slashed more than one full second off of her personal record in the event in a silver-medal winning second-place finish in the 800-meter final at the 2012 NCAA Division I Outdoor Track & Field Championships held at Drake Stadium in Des Moines, Iowa. Lipsey ran her best of 2 minutes, 1.40 seconds in the national final to earn her second All-America honor of the season in her final event of the collegiate season. She also reached All-America status indoors for the first time as a Lady Tiger by taking seventh place in the national final at the NCAA Indoor Championships a year ago.

Not only did Lipsey earn a reputation as a national title threat during her junior season, but she also became the first Lady Tiger since LaTavia Thomas in 2007 and 2008 to be crowned the SEC Indoor and SEC Outdoor champion in the 800 meters in the same season with her sweep in 2012. She even defended her home track by running 2:02.60 in the conference final to take the title at the SEC Outdoor Championships held at LSU’s Bernie Moore Track Stadium.

Lipsey finished the 2012 season within striking distance of LSU’s school record in the 800 meters as she tied as the No. 2-ranked performer outdoors at 2:01.40 and was the No. 3-ranked runner indoors at 2:03.79 on the program’s all-time performance list in the half-mile race.

Lipsey earned All-America recognition for the first time in her career as a sophomore in 2011 as she took home a fourth-place finish in the 800-meter final at the NCAA Outdoor Championships. She ran back-to-back personal bests at the national meet with runs of 2:03.96 in the semifinal and 2:03.73 in the final to highlight a breakout sophomore season.

A native of Hempstead, N.Y., who signed with the Lady Tigers as the country’s No. 1-ranked 800-meter recruit in the Class of 2009, Lipsey is sure to lead LSU’s middle distance squad again in 2013 as she is poised to continue in the championship tradition Elliott has built in the middle distance events.

The 2010 season saw the end of a brilliant career for one Lady Tiger great when Thomas hung up her spikes as a 12-time All-American in her four seasons in Baton Rouge. A native of Philadelphia, Pa., Thomas thrived with Elliott’s coaching as she wrapped up her career as the No. 2-ranked 800-meter runner in program history with PRs of 2:01.40 outdoors and 2:03.77 indoors as a leader of the Lady Tiger middle distance group.

The 2008 NCAA Indoor champion proved to be one of the nation’s best once again during her senior season while earning All-America honors during both the indoor and outdoor seasons. After taking third place in the 800-meter final at the NCAA Indoor Championships, Thomas also won a bronze medal with a third-place finish at the NCAA Outdoor Championships to finish wrap up her collegiate career as a six-time All-America performer in the 800-meter run.

She was also a six-time All-American as part of LSU’s 4x400-meter relay team during her career as a Lady Tiger.

Thomas became the fourth Lady Tiger all-time to win a national championship in the half-mile with her win at the NCAA Indoor Championships in 2008. She is the third athlete that Elliott has coached to an NCAA title in the 800 meters when she joined Lady Tiger greats Marian Burnett (2002) and Neisha Bernard-Thomas (2004) as Elliott’s national champions in the event.

Thomas was not the only LSU 800-meter runner to take the nation by storm under Elliott in 2010 as fellow senior Richard Jones picked up his second

career All-America honor in the half mile with an impressive fourth-place finish in the event at the NCAA Indoor meet. He finished the year ranked among the leading performers in the NCAA by shattering personal bests with top times of 1:46.42 outdoors and 1:47.78 indoors. In fact, Jones became the new LSU indoor school record holder as his title-winning time of 1:47.78 at the SEC Indoor Championships set the new standard.

Jones, who earned his first career All-America honor in 2009 with a fifthplace finish at the NCAA Outdoor meet, also became the third different LSU Tiger in four years to sweep SEC Indoor and SEC Outdoor titles in the 800 meters in 2010, joining Jamaal James (2007) and Elkana Kosgei (2008).

In addition, two other LSU seniors went out as All-Americans in 2010 as James placed sixth at the NCAA Indoor Championships and former Lady Tiger standout Kayann Thompson placed eighth at the NCAA Outdoor Championships.

The 2008 season was also a historic year for Elliott’s crew as he again coached three of his athletes to All-America honors. In addition to Thomas’ NCAA crown indoors and NCAA runner-up finish outdoors, Kosgei also earned a pair of All-America honors with a second-place finish at the NCAA Indoor Championships and a fourth-place finish at the NCAA Outdoor Championships.

Reuben Twijukye received All-America recognition of his own with a fifth-place finish nationally during the indoor season.

Elliott also coached LSU’s distance medley relay team to its first ever AllAmerica honor as the squad of Michael Hendry, Armanti Hayes, James and John Kosgei placed sixth overall at the NCAA Indoor Championships after setting a school record of 9:35.31 earlier in the season.

Not only that, but John Kosgei proved to be LSU’s top distance runner in more than a decade after winning the SEC Commissioner’s Trophy as the top individual point scorer at the 2008 SEC Indoor Championships with a pair of title wins in the mile and 3,000 meters.

LSU’s middle distance group has also dominated the Southeastern Conference in recent years while accounting for 12 SEC titles and 21 All-SEC honors since 2007. Thomas set the pace by winning her four conference titles by sweeping SEC Indoor and Outdoor crowns in 2007 and 2008. Lipsey matched that effort with an SEC sweep of her own during the 2012 season.

The Tigers and Lady Tigers actually made history at the 2007 SEC Outdoor

Assistant Head Coach Championships by finishing 1-2 in the finals of both the men’s and women’s 800 meters. While James and Thomas won gold medals as SEC champions in the event, Twijukye and Tanya Osbourne finished as the SEC Outdoor silver medalists, which is believed to be the only time in the history of the meet that one school has won and finished second in each race in the same season.

During his tenure at LSU, Elliott has been responsible for the development of many standout distance runners at both the collegiate and international levels, including David Kiptoo, Joseph Tengalei and Passmore Furusa. Tengalei was ranked fifth in the world in the 800 meters during the 1995 season, while Kiptoo finished sixth in the men’s 800-meter final at the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta. Furusa received five All-America honors during his collegiate career at LSU. Elliott has also coached former Lady Tiger halfmilers Marian Burnett (Guyana) and Neisha Bernard-Thomas (Grenada) to berths into the Olympic Games and IAAF World Championships in recent years. After advancing to the 800-meter semifinal at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens, Burnett competed at the IAAF World Championships in 2005 and 2007 before making her second career Olympics appearance in 2008. Bernard-Thomas, a World Championships participant in 2005, advanced to the semifinal round in back-to-back Olympic Games in 2008 and 2012.

Elliott actually served as the head coach for Guyana at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens, Greece, before returning to the squad as the head coach at the 2007 IAAF World Championships. He was also an assistant coach for the country of Grenada at the World Championships in 2005.

Both Burnett and Bernard-Thomas enjoyed tremendous collegiate careers under Elliott.

Bernard-Thomas, who wrapped up her career as the school-record holder in the half-mile race with a collegiate best of 2:01.32, won the NCAA Outdoor title in 2004 before finishing runner-up at the indoor national meet in 2005. She was also the winner at the Central American and Caribbean Championships in 2003. Elliott also guided Burnett to an NCAA Indoor crown with her victory in 2002.

The cross country teams have also enjoyed a measure of success with Elliott leading the way. He coached former LSU distance standout Joseph Simuchimba to the NCAA Cross Country Championships in 2007, his fifth athlete to qualify for the meet.

In 2000, Elliott helped Likhaya Dayile become the first man since Furusa in 1994 to qualify for

the NCAA Cross Country Championships. Elliott also guided the men’s cross country team to a fourthplace finish at the SEC Championships, marking the Tigers best finish at the event since a second-place showing in 1989 when Elliott himself donned the purple and gold. That same year, Susanne Strunz developed into one of the nation’s premier 3,000meter steeplechase threats, finishing second in the event at the SEC Championships and later qualifying for the NCAA Outdoor Championships.

Dayile and Strunz were not the first athletes to achieve success under Elliott’s guidance. In the mid-1990s, he helped transform former Lady Tiger Charlotte Mayock into one of the nation’s top distance runners when she became the first Lady Tiger to earn All-America honors in a distance more than 1,000 meters, placing seventh in the mile at the 1997 NCAA Indoor Championships. Mayock later advanced to the finals in the 3,000 meters at the 1997 NCAA Outdoor Championships and again qualified for the finals in the mile at the 1998 NCAA Indoor Championships.

In the fall of 1996, Elliott helped direct Mayock to a berth into the NCAA Cross Country Championships as she became the first Lady Tiger

LSU

to accomplish such a feat. The women’s cross country team placed fifth at the SEC Cross Country Championships that year, marking the Lady Tigers’ best finish in program history.

A 1991 graduate of LSU, Elliott was a four-time NCAA All-American while competing for the Tigers and was a member of four-straight outdoor national championship teams (two at LSU and two at Blinn Junior College). Individually, Elliott earned runnerup honors in the 3,000 meters at the 1989 NCAA Indoor Championships and was a top-five finisher on three different occasions in a variety of other distance events, including the 5,000 and 10,000meter races. At the conference level, Elliott won the SEC 10,000-meter title in 1989, as well as the SEC Indoor crown in the 5,000 meters in 1990. Prior to his career at LSU, Elliott was a 14-time junior college All-American at Blinn Junior College in Texas.

A native of Spanish Town, Jamaica, Elliott earned his Bachelor of Science degree from LSU in 1991 and his associate of arts degree from Blinn Junior College in 1988. Elliott later added a master’s degree in kinesiology to his resume in 2000. Born on October 21, 1966, in Kingston, Jamaica, Elliott has two children, Breanna and Ashley.

Assistant Coach

Debbie

Parris-Thymes Assistant Coach • Eighth Season • LSU, 1995 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 2013 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 16 Lady Tigers to individual NCAA championships and 22 Lady Tigers to All-America honors over the past seven seasons.

In all, 22 Lady Tiger sprinters and hurdlers have accounted for 129 All-America selections as NCAA Championship scorers since Parris-Thymes joined Shaver’s staff in 2005. That includes 16 All-America selections a year ago as LSU followed a third-place finish at the NCAA Indoor Championships with another strong performance in the sprints, hurdles and relays at the NCAA Outdoor Championships to wrap up the collegiate season in 2012.

The Lady Tigers also defended their SEC Outdoor crown by winning their third-straight team title and fifth in six seasons at the 2012 SEC Outdoor Track & Field Championships held on their home track at the Bernie Moore Track Stadium in Baton Rouge. The LSU women have now captured seven SEC team championships since Parris-Thymes joined the staff in 2005.

Lady Tiger sprint star Kimberlyn Duncan cemented her legacy as one of the great sprinters in the history of collegiate track and field with another history-making junior season in 2012 as she defended her NCAA Indoor and NCAA Outdoor titles in the 200-meter dash, becoming the first sprinter in collegiate history to sweep national titles in the event in back-to-back seasons. Duncan smashed her own low-altitude collegiate record in the 200-meter sprint with a personal best of 22.19 seconds clocked in the semifinals at the NCAA Division I Outdoor Track & Field Championships.

Duncan also earned a reputation as one of the world’s emerging stars in the 100-meter dash when she became just the fifth collegiate sprinter all-time to break the 11-second barrier in the event by setting the SEC Championship meet record with a run of 10.96 in the SEC final. The two-time NCAA silver medalist is now the No. 3-ranked 100-meter sprinter in collegiate history with her performance.

In her three seasons in the LSU program, Duncan has captured five NCAA championships, seven SEC championships and nine All-America honors as one of the most decorated sprinters to ever wear the purple and gold. She has also twice been honored as a finalist for The Bowerman in 2011 and 2012.

Duncan’s sophomore season in 2011 was highlighted by earning the title of scoring champion at the NCAA Outdoor Championships as she tallied 20.5 points for the Lady Tigers in their third-place finish. Not only did she win the NCAA Outdoor title in the 200 meters and finish as the national runner-up in the 100 meters for the first time, but Duncan also anchored the Lady Tigers to their 13th NCAA title all-time in the 4x100-meter relay, teaming with Kenyanna Wilson, Semoy Hackett and Rebecca Alexander for the sixth-fastest time in collegiate history at 42.64 in the national final.

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, 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

64 LSU

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 all-time 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 runnersup at the NCAA Outdoor Championships, marking the thirdfastest 4x400-meter relay performance in NCAA history.

Alexander also wrapped up a brilliant two-year career with the Lady Tigers in 2012 as one of the NCAA’s premier 400-meter sprinters as the NCAA silver medalist in the event during the outdoor season. After being crowned the SEC Indoor champion in the 400-meter dash, Alexander earned All-SEC honors as the SEC Outdoor runner-up before winning the NCAA Outdoor silver medal with a run of 51.20 during the national final. She later dropped her personal best to 51.13 to win the gold medal for Team USA with her efforts at the 2012 North American, Central American & Caribbean Under-23 Championships.

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 100-meter 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 100-meter 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, ParrisThymes also coached former Lady Tiger star Nickiesha Wilson to an NCAA title in the event in the 2008 postseason. By winning the event title, Wilson added her name alongside the likes of Schowonda Williams and Parris-Thymes as the only Lady Tigers to be crowned NCAA champion in the history of the program.

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 4x400meter relay during the 2007 outdoor season to put an exclamation point onto the end of a tremendous season.

Her athletes went on to achieve great success in international competition during the summer of 2007, led

by Wilson’s fourth-place finish in the 400-meter hurdles at the IAAF World Championships in Osaka, Japan. Wilson shattered the school record in the event en route to her finals appearance when she clocked 53.97 in the semifinal round to eclipse the previous record of 54.82 set by

Williams in 1987.

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 All-American, 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

Assistant Coach

LSU

Todd Lane Assistant Coach • Sixth Season • Luther College, 1995 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 sixth season as a member of LSU’s coaching staff in 2013.

The Tigers and Lady Tigers have flourished in five seasons under Lane’s direction as he has coached nine NCAA scorers to 29 All-America honors in four different jumping events since joining the LSU coaching staff prior to the 2008 season. His student-athletes have also captured five SEC championships and 29 All-SEC honors over the last five seasons.

That was certainly evident during the 2012 season as the LSU jumpers accounted for 30 points with their performance at the NCAA Championships while earning six All-America honors in such events as the long jump, triple jump and pole vault.

Damar Forbes certainly lived up to his reputation as a national championship contender in the long jump in 2012 while taking home a pair of silver medals as one of the Tigers’ top scorers at the NCAA Championships.

Forbes earned All-American honors with a runner-up finish at the NCAA Indoor meet before matching that performance with a runner-up finish at the NCAA Outdoor meet for the second-straight season for his third career NCAA silver medal.

Also a three-time SEC runner-up during his collegiate career, Forbes became LSU’s No. 3-ranked performer indoors all-time a year ago after jumping an indoor personal record of 26 feet, 7 ¾ inches in taking the long jump title at the Tyson Invitational. Forbes already ranked No. 3 on LSU’s all-time outdoor list in the wake of his All-America second-place finish at the 2011 NCAA Outdoor Championships when he joined the 27-foot club with a lifetime best of 27-0.

A native of Decatur, Ga., Forbes also made his Olympics debut over the summer while representing Jamaica in the long jump at the 2012 Olympic Games in London. Forbes wrapped up his season with an 18th-place finish while competing at the highest level of the sport.

While Forbes won a pair of NCAA silver medals as one of the nation’s elite long jumpers in 2012, Trinidad & Tobago international Kyron Blaise wrapped up his collegiate career as one of the top scoring Tigers at the NCAA Championships while earning a trio of All-America honors in his final season in Baton Rouge.

After setting a wind-legal PR of 54-1 ¼ in an All-SEC runner-up finish in the triple jump at the SEC Outdoor Championships, Blaise was honored as the NCAA Outdoor bronze medalist a year ago with a third-place finish at the national meet in his final competition in an LSU uniform. Blaise scored a team-leading nine points at the NCAA Outdoor Championships as he also reached AllAmerica 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 sixthplace 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 school-record 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 defended her SEC Indoor crown before earning a pair of 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.

Thomas is one of just six athletes in the history of LSU men’s track and field to capture at least five AllAmerica honors in the jumps during his collegiate career.

Lady Tiger senior Melissa Ogbourne was also among 11 NCAA qualifiers in the jumps in 2011 as she picked up her second All-America honor as a Lady Tiger with a seventh-place finish in the triple jump at the NCAA Indoor Championships.

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 MidAmerican 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 back-to-back runner-up finishes at the SoCon Outdoor Championships.

A native of Iowa City, Iowa, the 40-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 15 years, Turena Johnson Lane, have two children – their daughter, Taylor Grace Lane, born on May 6, 2011, and their son, Miles William Lane, born on Aug. 30, 2012.

Assistant Coach

Derek Yush

Assistant Coach • Sixth Season • Connecticut, 1997

The LSU throws group has flourished in five 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 2013 while featuring some of the top young talent in the NCAA ranks.

Yush coached former LSU stars Michael Lauro, Brieanna Kennedy and Samia Stokes to stellar senior campaigns in their final season with the program a year ago.

Lauro wrapped up his collegiate career in 2012 as one of the most decorated throwers in the history of the LSU Track & Field program, claiming five All-America honors in four seasons with the Tigers. After earning a career-best eighth-place finish in the 35-pound weight throw with his performance at the NCAA Indoor Championships, Lauro also enjoyed his best performance as a Tiger outdoors with a fourth-place finish in the hammer throw at the NCAA Outdoor Championships.

Lauro went out as the No. 2-ranked Tiger all-time with his personal records of 72 feet, 6 ¼ inches in the weight throw indoors and 223-0 in the hammer throw outdoors during his career.

Both Kennedy and Stokes were also among the NCAA’s best in their final season as Lady Tigers with a strong 2012 campaign. Kennedy captured her first career All-SEC accolade as the SEC silver medalist in the hammer throw and Stokes won the SEC bronze medal in the discus as they helped lead the Lady Tigers to a defense of their SEC Championship.

Kennedy, who set a PR of 205-3 in the hammer throw earlier in the season, won All-SEC honors for the first time in her collegiate career. Stokes, the 2010 SEC discus champion, recorded a personal best of 181-0 in a third-place finish in the discus at the SEC Outdoor meet. Like Lauro, Kennedy and Stokes wrapped up their careers as the No. 2-ranked Lady Tigers all-time.

Stokes became the first Lady Tiger in 16 years to be crowned the SEC Outdoor champion in the discus throw with her winning mark of 168-5 at the conference meet in 2010.

Former Lady Tiger NCAA champion Danyel Mitchell was the last Lady Tiger to capture the SEC discus crown with backto-back wins at the SEC Outdoor Championships in 1993 and 1994.

Also setting a personal record in a bronze-medal-winning performance at the 2012 SEC Outdoor Championships was former Tiger standout and four-time NCAA Championship qualifier Aaron Moore as he threw 229-6 for third place in the men’s javelin final.

Returning to the squad in 2013 are three SEC medalist and seven athletes who were coached to the NCAA Championships in each of the four throwing events outdoors.

Among those making their return are SEC silver medalist Annie Simoneaux (javelin) and SEC bronze medalists Tori Bliss (shot put) and Karen Henning (hammer throw).

Yush also coached Lady Tiger junior Denise Hinton to a school record in the women’s 20-pound weight throw during the 2012 indoor season as she made her first NCAA appearance as a sophomore with the NCAA’s No. 6-ranked performance on the year at 69-9 ¾.

Leading a young throws squad for the Tigers in 2013 are sophomores Rodney Brown and Jeremy Tuttle, who ranked among the top freshmen in the NCAA as rookies a season ago. Brown quickly established himself as one of the NCAA’s top young discus throwers while posting a best of 190-8, while Tuttle set PRs of 188-9 in the hammer and 227-6 in the javelin outdoors.

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.

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 15 top-five finishes at the NCAA Championships between the indoor and outdoor seasons since 2008.

66 LSU

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 12 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 finish in the javelin at the NCAA Outdoor Championships while posting a PR of 234-7.

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 200107, 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 titles 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.

Assistant Coach

LSU

Bennie Brazell

Assistant Coach • Second Season • LSU, 2011

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’s addition paid immediate dividends in LSU’s performance a year ago as 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 ended just two points shy of winning a national championship to wrap up a heralded 2012 campaign. The men also earned a strong second-place finish at the 2012 SEC Outdoor Championships held on their home track at the Bernie Moore Track Stadium.

The Tigers competing in the sprints, hurdles and relays accounted for 42 of the team’s 75 points scored at the NCAA Championships between the NCAA Indoor and NCAA Outdoor meets a year ago.

The highlight of the 2012 season came in the 4x100meter relay final at the NCAA Championship when the Tigers captured their eighth national championship in the event.

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 run of 38.38 seconds to dominate the field.

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 All-America 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 an eighth-place 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, later swept sprint silver medals and anchored Team USA to a gold medal in the sprint relay at the IAAF World Junior Championships held during the month of July in Barcelona, Spain.

LSU’s 4x400-meter relay team also proved itself as an NCAA title contender in 2012 as the Tigers swept bronze medals in the event with their performance at the NCAA Championships.

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 AlleyneForte 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.

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 4x100meter 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 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.

While Brazell came up just 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.

The Lady Tigers captured their fifth SEC Outdoor Championship in six seasons in 2012.

Duncan Cements Legacy as NCAA Sprint Great

Lady Tigers Shatter School Record in NCAA Relay Final

After emerging as one of the world’s top young sprint stars with her performance as a sophomore in 2011, LSU’s Kimberlyn Duncan cemented her legacy as one of the NCAA’s greatest sprinters by defending her NCAA 200-meter titles in record-setting fashion. Duncan became the first sprinter in collegiate history to sweep NCAA Indoor and NCAA Outdoor titles in the 200-meter dash in back-to-back seasons, while also finishing as the NCAA silver medalist in the 100 meters for the second year in a row.

Duncan broke her own low-altitude collegiate record in the 200 meters when she blistered the Drake Stadium track with a run of 22.19 seconds in the semifinal round at the NCAA Outdoor Championships. With her national championship victory, Duncan ran her streak to 18 wins in a row in 200-meter finals against collegiate competition between the indoor and outdoor seasons.

The women’s 4x400-meter relay final at the 2012 NCAA Outdoor Championships proved to be one for the ages as both LSU and Oregon set meet records in a historic race to the finish. While running with a foursome of Latoya McDermott, Rebecca Alexander, Cassandra Tate and Jonique Day, the Lady Tigers joined the Ducks in the most competitive relay race in collegiate history. The Ducks won the NCAA title with a run of 3:24.54, while the Lady Tigers followed as the national runners-up with a new school-record time of 3:24.59. Both teams eclipsed the previous NCAA Championships meet record of 3:25.26 set by the LSU Lady Tigers with their win in 2004. That also stood as LSU’s previous school record in the event.

Duncan Rides NCAA Titles to Bowerman Ceremony With her performance as the leading sprinter in the NCAA ranks during the 2012 season, Duncan received her second invitation in as many years to attend the Bowerman Ceremony as a finalist for the premier individual award in collegiate track and field. Duncan joined Arizona’s Brigetta Barrett and Oregon’s Brianne Theisen as a finalist for The Bowerman, which is the Heisman Trophy of collegiate track and field and presented annually to the nation’s top men’s and women’s athletes in conjunction with the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association National Convention. The 2012 Bowerman Ceremony was held on Wednesday, Dec. 19, as part of the convention in Orlando, Fla.

Tate Crowned NCAA Hurdles Champion in Senior Season Cassandra Tate joined Duncan as a national champion while leading the Lady Tigers at the 2012 NCAA Outdoor Championships as she became the fourth Lady Tiger in program history to win the gold medal in the 400-meter hurdles. Tate capped her most successful season as a Lady Tiger with a personal-best performance of 55.22 in the national final to outlast UCLA’s Turquoise Thompson (55.28) and claim the title as NCAA champion. While shattering her previous personal best of 55.97 with the fourthranked performance in school history, Tate joined the likes of Schowonda Williams (1988), Debbie Parris (1993, 1994) and Nickiesha Wilson (2008) as the winner of the 400-meter hurdles at the NCAA Championships.

Duncan became just the fifth women’s sprinter in collegiate history to break 11 seconds in the event with a national-leading run of 10.96 (+1.9) in claiming her first career SEC 100-meter title. She eclipsed the previous SEC meet record of 11.03 set by Olympic silver medalist Kerron Stewart of Auburn in 2006.

Former Tiger Thompson is LSU’s Most Decorated Olympian After winning a pair of silver medals in his Olympics debut in Beijing at the 2008 Olympic Games, former Tiger sprint star Richard Thompson became the most decorated Olympian in the history of LSU athletics when he anchored Trinidad & Tobago to the bronze medal in the 4x100-meter relay at the Games of the XXX Olympiad in London. While anchoring a team that also featured Keston Bledman, Marc Burns and Emmanuel Callender, Thompson claimed his third career Olympic medal after winning silver medals in the 100-meter dash and 4x100-meter relay in 2008. Thompson is the only LSU athlete regardless of sport to win three Olympic medals for his career as one of the world’s leading sprinters.

Alleyne-Forte Wins Bronze Medal in Olympics Debut In the wake of an All-American senior season with the Tigers, Ade Alleyne-Forte made his Olympics debut for his native Trinidad & Tobago as a member of his country’s 4x400-meter relay team.

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 70 relay titles and 72 individual titles in the University division at the Texas Relays, and the squads will be looking to add to their impressive resume in 2013.

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 66 Championship of America relay titles, while having 63 athletes crowned University champions throughout the storied history of the meet.

The Lady Tigers are the winningest program in meet history as their 44 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.

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.
