2024 SEC CHAMPIONS

For the first time since 2012 the Lady Tigers won an SEC-team title, doing so with a dominating performance in almost every aspect of the sport by scoring 126 points. The newest addition to the trophy room marked the 26th SEC title for the women’s program. A total of 14 Lady Tigers contributed to the win, including a team-high 16.5 points from sophomore Brianna Lyston.

Entering the third and final day of the Championships, the LSU women sat in 10th with a total of 11 points from field events the days prior.

The final day of competition started with the women’s 4×100-meter relay team collecting bronze with a new lineup. The order of Lyston, Thelma Davies, Leah Phillips and Tima Godbless clocked a season-best time of 42.49 seconds to add six points to the board. The team’s new SB puts them at No. 4 on the all-time LSU performance list, making this their fastest lineup since the loaded 2019 team.

Senior Lorena Rangel Batres was up to bat next as she started off a very difficult 800-meter/1500-meter double with the 1500m. She posted a strong time of 4:12.78 to finish with silver, posing a threat for gold in the final 200 meters of the race. The San Luis Potosí, Mexico, native went on to finish fifth overall int the 800m with a time of 2:03.36. In total, Rangel Batres tallied 12 crucial points for the Tigers.

The women’s hurdle squad went to work and did not disappoint a soul. In the women’s 100-meter hurdles, the Tigers racked up a total of 19 points with Shani’a Bellamy leading a 2-3-4 finish for LSU with a time of 12.81 seconds (+0.8 m/s). Bellamy was not done as she also led the charge for the women’s 400-meter hurdles with her

time of 56.40 in third. The Tigers finished 2-5-6 in the event an earned 13-combined points in the 400mh.

After putting up an impressive time in the women’s 4×100, the sprinters came back for more later in the day. Lyston earned her second gold SEC medal of the year after clocking a PR of 10.91 seconds (+0.3 m/s) to lead a 1-3-5 finish in the women’s 100 meter. Davies finished third with her new PR of 11.01 seconds, while Godbless finished fifth with her new PR of 11.14 seconds. The women’s 100 meter was the highest point-scoring event for LSU as they totaled 20 of their 126 in that event alone. Lyston’s time of 10.91 moved her up to No. 4 on the all-time LSU performance list, while Davies’ time of 11.01 puts her at No. 9 on the list.

Davies and Lyston were not finished as they came back for more in the women’s 200 meter. As a duo they scored 11 points in the 200m together as they placed third and fourth. Davies tied Sha’Carri Richardson’s No. 3 time in the LSU PL of 22.17 seconds, while Lyston finished the final with a time of 22.37 seconds.

For the fourth SEC Championship in-a-row, Michaela Rose found herself standing on the podium with another gold medal around her neck. The Suffolk, Va., native clocked her second sub-1:59 800-meter time of her career with 1:58.89, which was a meet and facility record. After earning the team 10 points in the 800m, Rose went on to clock a split of 50.81 seconds in the 4×400-meter relay to help the team add four more points to the board.

The first day of action saw freshman Trinity Spooner get the job done with a bronze-medal-worthy finish in javelin. Spooner claimed third place and six

points for the women with her toss of 53.06 meters (174’ 1”) on the second attempt of the afternoon.

Senior Morgan Smalls did it all over the weekend at the SEC Champions, competing and scoring in three jumping events. Her total of 13 points scored was fourth most on the team, and was led by a bronze-medal finish in triple jump with a mark of 13.08 meters (42-11).

THE BEST TO EVER DO IT

Regarded as the best sprint-relay program in NCAA history, the Purple and Gold continued that tradition in 2023 with their best season yet.

The men’s 4×100-meter relay team consisting of Brandon Hicklin, Camel, Da’Marcus Fleming and Godson Oghenebrume put on performances every week for the collegiate and world landscape, hitting full stride as they defended home turf at the SEC Outdoor Championships in Baton Rouge.

LSU’s team clocked the second ever sub38 second relay in collegiate history with a time of 37.90 seconds to claim the SEC title. Their time ranked second in the world behind Canada athletics’ team, whom they’ve beat twice that season in head-to-head races. The collegiate record shaved .34 seconds off of the previous LSU record that was set in 1998, and at that point, was the third top-10 time in LSU history produced by the squad.

“This is what we work for,” said Fleming. “All year we just been getting the stick

around the track and getting faster and faster every week, so it feels good to have that number (37.90) up there right now. Brandon always catches the guy in front of him, Dorian just get the stick and open it up, I put at least two more meters ahead, and Godson closes it and brings it home.”

The Tigers weren’t finished as they were crowned an NCAA Champions in Austin, Texas, as they won with a time of 38.05 seconds. It didn’t come right away, as Texas Tech had initially won and celebrated prior to them receiving a DQ for passing out of the exchange zone. The win had marked the 11th time the men of LSU had claimed the 4x100 at the NCAA Championships.

The 2024 relay squad will be considered the greatest to ever do it collegiately until someone is able to duplicate and out perform what they accomplished. During the season, they ran four top-10 times in the world, five top-10 times in collegiate performance-list history and seven top-10 PL times in the nation for 2024.

2021 NCAA CHAMPIONS

Dennis Shaver’s top ranked LSU men’s track and field team scored 84 points en route to securing the 2021 NCAA Outdoor Track & Field National Title on Friday evening at Hayward Field. LSU won five individual event titles and the 4x100 meter relay at the meet as the Tigers showed their brute dominance over the rest of the field.

“It means a lot because there have been so many times we’ve been second at this meet,” Shaver said after the victory. “To be able to win it is pretty exciting. We came out here and dominated the meet in a lot of ways and that made it special for us.”

LSU’s six event titles at the NCAA outdoor meet are the second most ever in meet history. Ohio State captured seven in 1936. LSU won event titles in the javelin (Tzuriel Pedigo), 100 meters (Terrance Laird), high jump (JuVaughn Harrison), long jump (JuVaughn Harrison), 400 meter hurdles (Sean ‘Squirrel’ Burrell), and the 4x100 meter relay. LSU led the event wire to wire. After scoring 24 points on the opening day of the meet, the Tigers added 60 more to their final tally on the final day.

We’ll start with the best to ever do it in the long jump/ high jump combo in world history, JuVaughn Harrison. Harrison wowed the crowd and won his sixth straight NCAA title with a clearance of 7’ 7.75” (2.33 meters). It wasn’t a perfect day, but he got the job done and secured his 20th point of the meet for the Tigers. The six NCAA titles rank Harrison No. 3 on the all-time LSU list for national titles won behind Xavier Carter (7) and Kelly Willie (7); it also ties him with Walter Davis. He won the long jump NCAA title with bound of 26’ 10.50” (8.19 meters)

“I’m very proud of my team and what we came out here and did,” Harrison mentioned. “We’ve got a lot of dudes on this team that excel in their events. So to see us score the points we did and win in the fashion we did, it’s something we’ll never forget.”

Sean ‘Squirrel’ Burrell won his first career national

title on Friday with a world U20 record time of 47.85. So let us point out that this has been an event contested since 1900 and no U20 athlete in world history has ever run faster. In fact, Burrell became the first U20 athlete to crack 48 seconds in the event as the previous U20 world record was 48.02 by Danny Harris June of 1984 . The time of 47.85 moved Burrell up to No. 4 on the all-time collegiate list and it ranks as the second fastest time in LSU history behind his coach, Bennie Brazell (47.67). He’s the third LSU 400 meter hurdler to win an NCAA title in the event.

“It’s an honor to just win my event title,” Burrell said. “I run for my city, Baton Rouge is where I grew up. So to become a national champion at this school means the most to me. I kept preaching to myself that I was gonna go sub 48, and I got out today. I knew I could finish strong and when that time popped up I was like ‘oh yeah.”

Terrance Laird scored 20.5 half points thanks to his national titles in the 4x100 meter relay and 100 meters; he also took second in the 200 meters. Laird was worked to the max on Friday as he ran in three races. He started his day off by chasing down Georgia’s Matt Boling for the win; the LSU relay clocked a time of 38.48 in the event. Laird returned to the track 50 minutes later and stunned the crowd with his late race speed to win the 100 meter national time with a clocking of 10.05 seconds. Laird would go for the sprint triple 45 minutes later in the 200 meters and was narrowly beat out for the top spot as he ran a 19.94 to Joseph Fanbulleh’s (Florida) 19.91.

“We had a razor sharp focus coming into this meet,” Laird said of his team’s performance this week. “We got the ball rolling today with the 4x100 meter relay. The whole day was the LSU show. We talked about doing this and we did. Proud of this group.”

Tzuriel Pedigo used some late event dramatics for his NCAA title in the javelin. Entering the sixth and final round of throws, Pedigo sat in seventh with a best throw

of 241’ (73.49 meters). That’s when he launched a massive personal best of 252’ 7” (76.98 meters) to take the lead out of nowhere. Pedigo became LSU’s second ever NCAA winner in the javelin.

“It’s feels great,” Pedigo mentioned. “I’m glad I could represent my team well. I’m glad I got 10 points for my team. I’m just happy I went out there and got 10 points.”

The men’s 4x100 meter relay kicked things off on the final day of competition with a dub in the sprint relay. The lineup went Dylan Peebles, Noah Williams, Akanni Hislop, and Terrance Laird as the unit clocked a 38.48 to run away with the event. It’s LSU’s 10th national title in the event and first since 2016.

Noah Williams turned in a time of 44.93 in the 400 meters to take third and add six points to the LSU point total. Freshman Sean Dixon-Bodie went out and PR’d at his first NCAA outdoor meet with a leap of 54’ 6” (16.61 meters) to take fourth place in the triple jump; the mark is the fifth best in LSU history. The final point scorer of the day for LSU was Damion Thomas in the 110 meter hurdles; he placed eighth with a time of 13.76 for a point. track and field at the men’s NCAA outdoor meet.

This team was loaded with potential and they made the most of it to bring home LSU’s first men’s outdoor national title since 2002; they were ranked No. 1 in 9 of 10 ratings polls released throughout the season and will end up as the top team in the land for the 2021 outdoor season. LSU’s other four outdoor men’s national titles came in 1933, 1989, 1990, and 2002. LSU’s 31 point margin of victory is the largest gap since Arkansas won by 38 points in 1994. LSU’s track and field program as a whole – women & men combined – has now won 32 team national titles. LSU’s 84 team points are the third most in the modern era of track and field at the men’s NCAA outdoor meet.

THE

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 a 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.

Bowerman AWARD

WHAT IS THE BOWERMAN?

Now in its 16th 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.

WHO IS BILL BOWERMAN?

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 runner-up. Bowerman’s athletes were equally as successful as he coached 24 NCAA individual champions, 33 Olympians and 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 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.

Note: This information has been compiled from the official website of the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association at www.ustfccca.org.

LSU AND THE BOWERMAN

LSU’s Kimberlyn Duncan made history in 2012 as she became the first SEC athlete in the The Bowerman’s existence 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, Florida.

LSU’s Sha’Carri Richardson became the first freshman in The Bowerman’s 11-year history to win the award in 2019 at the Grande Lakes Resort in Orlando, Florida. Richardson was announced as the winner of The Bowerman over Florida’s Yanis David and Arkansas’ Janeek Brown. Richardson is the third female athlete from the SEC to win The Bowerman joining the likes of LSU’s Kimberlyn Duncan (2012) and Georgia’s Keturah Orji (2018).

Richardson cemented her status as one of the all-time greats in collegiate track and field with her performance at the 2019 NCAA Championships in June at Mike A. Myers Stadium in Austin, Texas. She scored a total of 20 points for LSU to earn High Point Scorer of the Meet honors and lead LSU to a third-place team finish all while setting a plethora of records.

She ran a 10.75, let us repeat that, a 10.75 in the 100 meter finals to win her first NCAA title and set the collegiate record. Only eight women in world history have run faster than 10.75 and Richardson did that as a freshman. The three fastest runners in NCAA history over 100 meters belong to LSU with Richardson’s 10.75, Dawn Sowell’s 10.78 in 1989, and Aleia Hobbs’ 10.85 in 2017.

JuVaughn Harrison became LSU’s third winner of The Bowerman in 2021. Harrison won the award over Oregon’s Cole Hocker and Arizona State’s Turner Washington. Harrison is LSU’s first male athlete to win The Bowerman and he joins fellow LSU athletes Sha’Carri Richardson (2019) and Kimberlyn Duncan (2012) in storied company. LSU’s three winners of The Bowerman, which began being awarded in 2009, are the second most of any collegiate program.

Harrison had the greatest jumping season in collegiate history without a doubt. He did things that, quite literally, had never been seen before. He won four NCAA titles, three SEC titles, went 14-2 in competitions, and set four LSU school records.

His four NCAA titles during the 2021 season came in the unprecedented long jump/high jump double. And he didn’t only pull off that double at the collegiate level either. Although the voting process for The Bowerman only took into account what happened during the collegiate season, Harrison also pulled off wins in the long jump/high jump double at the U.S. Olympic Trials against professionals to earn a berth to the Tokyo Olympics.

SEMIFINALISTS

2008 Women’s NCAA Outdoor National Champions

An Era OF EXCELLENCE

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 124-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.

NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS

After winning five Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association conference championships between 19131922 and capturing three consecutive SIC titles, LSU Track & Field burst onto the national scene with an improbable upset of heavily-favored 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 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 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, Oregon, 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.

LSU Track & Field: An Era of Excellence

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, Indiana. 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 in the event 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 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, Arkansas, 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 lowaltitude 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 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 runner-up 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 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.

The Tigers climbed back to the top on June 11, 2021. In one of the most dominant performances in NCAA Track & FIeld history, the Tigers claimed the 32nd national title in program history by scoring 84 points and winning six event titles.

The six event titles were won by JuVaughn Harrison (long jump/high jump), Terrance Laird (100 meters), Sean Burrell (400m hurdles), Tzuriel Pedigo (javelin), and the 4x100 meter relay team. The six event titles are the second most ever won at the NCAA outdoor meet. LSU’s 31 point margin of victory was the largest since 1994.

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.

The 2024 Paris Olympics was a moment for 14 past and present Tigers to get together and perform on the world stage. LSU had four alumni earn six medals during the 10 days of athletics competition.

Vernon Norwood tied Sylvia Fowles for the most Olympic medals in LSU history with four in his illustrious career. Norwood earned gold in the men’s 4x400 and also earned silver in the mixed 4x400, where Norwood and his USA teammates set the World Record of 3:07.41. Mondo Duplantis collected gold in the pole vault for the second Olympics in-a-row, breaking his World Record for what was the ninth time. Sha’Carri Richardson anchored team USA’s 4x100 to gold and collected silver in the 100. In the men’s 4x100, Nethaneel Mitchell Blake helped Great Britain to bronze. The Olympians at the Paris Games tied the program’s record of six medals at an Olympic meet, previously done in 2004 and 2020.

The Tigers have now won a total of 13 gold medals, 10 silver medals and six bronze medals all-time at the

Olympic Games.

The Tigers brought home six medals at the Tokyo Olympics in the summer of 2021. Mondo Duplantis became the second ever LSU athlete to win an individual gold medal at the Olympics as he cleared a bar of 19’ 9” (6.02 meters) for Olympic gold. Michael Cherry (4x400m relay) and Vernon Norwood (4x400m relay) both picked up gold medals while representing Team USA.

In Rio de Janeiro in the summer of 2016 nine members of the program representing five countries from around the world competed on the world’s grandest stage. LSU emerged from the Games of the XXXI Olympiad with 17 Olympic medals won all-time as 2016 senior Fitzroy Dunkley struck silver as a member of Jamaica’s 4x400-meter relay team.

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-medal-winning 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 secondstraight Olympics that a Lady Tiger led the United States to gold in the event as she followed in the footsteps of Echols in 1988.

Mondo Duplantis won gold at the Tokyo Olympics in the pole vault.

LSU Track & Field: An Era of Excellence

LSU Track & Field was well-represented 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 4x100meter 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 AllAmerican 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 firstplace 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 meet-winning 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.

LSU made its presence felt once again in Olympic competition in 2012 when former sprint stars Richard Thompson, Samantha Henry and Ade Alleyne-Forte won medals at the London Games.

Thompson, a three-time Olympian for Trinidad & Tobago, became the most decorated track and field Olympian in the history of LSU Athletics while anchoring his country to the silver medal in the 4x100-meter relay. 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.

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. 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, North Carolina. 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. More recently he led the LSU men to its fifth outdoor NCAA title in program history in the summer of 2021 for the 32nd team title in LSU Track and Field history.

The Lady Tigers have also won eight SEC team championships under Shaver, including six outdoor and two indoor championships since 2005. The men’s squad won the 2019 SEC outdoor title for the first time since 1990 in Fayetteville, Ark., under the direction of Shaver. He is fresh off of winning the 2024 SEC women’s outdoor title with a point total of 126. Shaver was named the 2020 USTFCCCA Women’s National Coach of the Year and the 2021 USTFCCCA Men’s National Coach of the Year.

Dominance ON THE TRACK

With 32 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.

storied history.

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. USC broke the record with a 2:59.00 in 2018

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 198495.

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 40 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.

(Above) Fitzroy Dunkley, Quincy Downing, Vernon

and Cyril Grayson ended the 2015 season as NCAA Outdoor Champions in the men’s 4x400-meter relay after running 3 minutes, 1.96 seconds in the national final. Norwood also swept NCAA Indoor and NCAA Outdoor titles in the 400 meters.

(Right) The Lady Tigers wrapped up the 2007 NCAA Outdoor Championships with a bang by successfully defending their national title in the 4x400 relay. Nickiesha Wilson, Cynetheia Rooks, LaTavia Thomas and Deonna Lawrence ran 3:28.07 to win it. LSU has won a total of 42 NCAA relay titles in the 4x100 and 4x400 relays between the men’s and women’s teams.

The Tigers got back to the top in 2021 on the men’s side by winning the fifth men’s outdoor national title in program history. LSU won six event titles at the meet, the second most ever, in one of the most dominant showings in meet history.

With the 2025 season now underway, the Tigers and Lady Tigers are poised to challenge for SEC and NCAA 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.

The Winning Streak

The Lady Tigers’ string of 11 consecutive NCAA Outdoor titles from 198797 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, gutwrenching 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

For more than 30 years, LSU’s men’s and women’s relay teams have been a hallmark of its track and field program at the NCAA Championships. LSU is the only school to ever win both the men’s and women’s 4x100-meter relays in the same year as it has done so five times, winning consecutive championships between 1992-94 and again in 2003 and 2016.

The X-Man SHADES OF JESSE OWENS

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.

LSU’S CARTER MAKES HISTORY AT NCAA CHAMPIONSHIPS

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, California, 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 70-year 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 NCAAtitle-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, Kelly 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 secondplace finish in the final team standings with 51 points for the meet.

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).

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 personalbest 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.

LSU Track & Field was represented by 14 current and former athletes from eight countries around the world as they joined the sports greatest athletes in Paris at the 2024 Olympic Games. Three Tigers secured gold medals - Mondo Duplantis (pole vault), Sha’Carri Richardson (4x100) and Vernon Norwood (4x400) were awarded gold medals in their respective events.

GAMES OF THE

XXXIII Olympiad

The LSU track and field program had heavy representation at the 2024 Paris Olympics with 14 past and present athletes who competed and combined to win six medals. The six medals were the most won at an Olympics Games by LSU alumni, tying the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

The first big moment of the Olympics for the Tigers came from Vernon Norwood and the mixed 4x400-

meter relay team representing Team USA. In the first round of the event, Norwood and his teammates became the first team in world history to ever go sub 3:08 in the event with the World Record of 3:07.41. The team eventually finished with silver a day later as the clocked a time of 3:07.74.

On the same day Norwood earned silver in the mixed 4x400, Sha’Carri Richardson made her first

Olympic-final debut, earning silver in the women’s 100 meter. Richardson clocked a time of 10.87 seconds into a headwind of -0.1 m/s to grab second.

A few days later the reigning gold medalist in pole vault, Mondo Duplantis, looked to soar to gold once again as he took on the final. “The Geauxt” eventually won his second medal in a row at the Olympics with the clearance of 6.00 meters (19-8.25). Duplantis was not done there as he eventually cleared the Olympic record of 6.10 meters (20-0.25) and then moved on and cleared another World Record of 6.25 meters (206), the ninth WR of his brief and illustrious career so far.

Favour Ofili did not get the desired finish she wanted in the 200 meter after a rough go with the Nigerian leaders who left her out of the 100 meter, but she made history as the the first Nigerian woman to make the 200 meter Olympic final since 1996. Ofili clocked 22.24 seconds in lane nine to finish sixth in the final, but was only .04 of a second from the podium as the youngest competitor in the event.

The finals of the women’s and men’s 4x100meter relay teams was next, starting with Sha’Carri Richardson representing Team USA.

The Americans were sitting in third as the baton got to Richardson on the anchor leg. In the driving rain, she put on a stellar final leg to lead the team to gold with a time of 41.78 seconds. The medal was her second of the week, going along with the silver in the 100m. Nethaneel Mitchell-Blake did what he does best and helped Great Britain to another medal in the 4x100. Mitchell-Blake and his nation clocked 37.61 seconds to finish with bronze.

Vernon Norwood came back for more as he ran another stellar leg for Team USA in the 4x400-meter relay final. Norwood split 43.30 seconds on an Olympic-record team time of 2:54.43. This was his second Olympic record of the meet after the veteran helped USA to a World Record in the mixed 4x400.

Norwood’s new gold medal marked his second career-Olympic gold, tying Mondo Duplantis for the most gold medals in LSU track & field history. The medal was his second of the meet and his fourth career medal at the Olympic games, passing Richard “Torpedo” Thompson for the most in LSU T&F history and tying Sylvia Fowles for the most in LSU history.

LSU Track & Field was represented by 12 current and former athletes from six countries around the world as they joined the sports greatest athletes in Tokyo at the 2020 Olympic Games. Three Tigers secured gold medals - Mondo Duplantis (pole vault), Michael Cherry (4x400m relay), and Vernon Norwood (4x400m relay) were awarded gold medals in their respective events. Duplantis was competing for Sweden, while Cherry and Norwood ran for Team USA.

GAMES OF THE

XXXII Olympiad

The LSU track and field program had heavy representation at the Tokyo Olympics with 10 athletes who competed and combined to win six medals. The six medals were the most won at an Olympics Games by LSU alumni besting the previous number of five from 2004 in Athens.

Mondo Duplantis, the 21-year old phenom that was born to fly, won his first Olympic gold medal on

Tuesday (August 3) at the Tokyo Olympics with a clearance of 19’ 9” (6.02 meters) in the pole vault.

Duplantis became the eighth athlete in LSU track and field history to win a gold medal at the Olympics joining the likes of Glenn ‘Slats’ Hardin (1936/400 hurdles), Sheila Echols (1988/4x100m Relay), Esther Jones (1992/4x100m Relay), Glenroy Gilbert (1996/4x100m Relay), Derrick Brew (2004/4x400m

Relay), Kelly Willie (2004/4x400m Relay), and Richard Thompson (2008/4x100m Relay). While he’s the eighth track and field athlete to win gold, he’s only the second to win an individual gold medal joining the likes of the legendary Glenn Hardin.

Duplantis had achieved many things coming into these Olympics – the world record, European gold, a world medal – but he had never won a gold medal on the senior level at a world meet, but that all changed Tokyo. Duplantis entered with a massive clearance of 18’ 2.50” (5.55 meters) before passing at a height of 18’ 8.25” (5.70 meters). He then cleared a bar of 19’ 0.25” (5.80 meters) and was one of only eight competitors remaining.

Duplantis elected to pass at a height of 19’ 3” (5.87 meters) before the bar moved up to 19’ 5” (5.92 meters). When the bar moved to 19’ 5” only four competitors remained. Duplantis cleared the bar with ease at the height of 19’ 5”, and Chris Nilsen (USA) was the only other vaulter to clear 19’ 5”. So it was the two of them battling it out for gold.

The bar moved up to 19’ 7” (5.97 meters) where both Duplantis and Nilsen got up and over the bar on their first attempts. This was a familiar scene as these two were the final two competitors at the 2019 NCAA outdoor meet where Nilsen actually beat Mondo, but this was a different day. As the bar went up to 19’ 9” (6.02 meters), Mondo cleared the bar with a scintillating clearance with much more room, while Nilsen was unable to get over in three tries. The height of 19’ 9” was the bar that won Mondo the Olympic gold.

Vernon Norwood and Michael Cherry became the ninth and 10th LSU athletes to win gold at the Olympics as members of Team USA’s 4x400 meter relay. Norwood ran in the qualifying heat to advance the Americans with a time of 2:57.7, and Cherry ran in the finals as Team USA won with a time of 2:55.70. Norwood also earned bronze with as a member of Team USA’s mixed relay.

Aleia Hobbs (USA) and Nethaneel Mitchell-Blake (Great Britain) both secured silvers in the 4x100 meter relay. Hobbs ran in the qualifying round and helped USA advance with a time of 41.90, and Mitchell-Blake anchored the Brits to silver in the finals with a time of 37.51.

Each of these athletes added to an already proud tradition for the LSU Track & Field program at the Olympic Games that includes 69 different athletes representing 17 different nations since Sid Bowman became the first to compete for the United States in Amsterdam way back in 1928. Since then, LSU’s athletes have won 23 Olympic medals all-time, including nine gold, nine silver and five bronze medals. Zimbabwe became the 17th country represented by an LSU Track & Field athlete when Mvumvure qualified for the first time in 2016 as other nationalities include Algeria, Bahamas, Barbados, Canada, Grenada, Guyana, Jamaica, Kenya, Liberia, The Netherlands, Puerto Rico, St. Kitts & Nevis, Sweden, Trinidad & Tobago and the United Kingdom along with the United States.

JuVaughn Harrison (pictured above) represented the United States at the Tokyo Olympics in both the long jump and high jump after he swept titles in both events at the U.S. Olympic Trials. He was the first man to compete in both events for Team USA since Jim Thorpe did so in 1912.

LSU Track & Field was represented by 10 current and former athletes from five countries around the world as they joined the sports greatest athletes in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, at the 2016 Olympic Games. Led by Fitzroy Dunkley (pictured, second from left) winning a silver medal with Jamaica in the 4x400-meter relay, LSU’s athletes made three finals appearances with Jamaican teammate Damar Forbes advancing to his first Olympic final in the long jump and Kelly-Ann Baptiste running in the 4x100-meter relay final for Trinidad & Tobago.

GAMES OF THE

XXXI Olympiad

The final event of the 2016 Olympic Games saw LSU senior Fitzroy Dunkley score a silver medal as a member of Jamaica’s 4x400-meter relay team as he teamed with his fellow countrymen Peter Matthews, Nathon Allen and Javon Francis to run 2:58.16 for

second place behind Team USA’s gold-medal-winning 2:57.30. Dunkley split 44.82 seconds on the third leg as he became LSU Track & Field’s 13th Olympic medalist in history while winning the program’s 17th Olympic medal all-time.

It proved a fitting end to the 2016 season for Dunkley as his Olympic success followed his best collegiate season with the Tigers as he was a member of LSU’s NCAA Indoor and NCAA Outdoor champion 4x400-meter relay teams while also being crowned the NCAA Outdoor Silver Medalist in the 400-meter dash.

Dunkley actually made his Olympics debut on the opening night of the athletics program in Rio when he lined up in the qualifying round of the 400-meter dash. It would be another eight days before he returned to the track to score his first Olympic medal in the men’s 4x400-meter relay final.

Dunkley was not the only one of LSU’s 10 Olympians to compete in a final at the Games of the XXXI Olympiad as former Lady Tiger Kelly-Ann Baptiste was a member of Trinidad & Tobago’s fifthplace 4x100-meter relay team and former Tiger NCAA Champion Damar Forbes competed in his first Olympic final in the long jump.

Baptiste, who also lined up in the women’s 100meter dash while making her fourth career Olympic Games appearance, was the closest to Dunkley in adding to LSU’s medal haul when she helped her country run a seasonal best of 42.12 in the women’s sprint relay final. Forbes jumped 25 feet, 8 inches for 12th in the men’s long jump final.

There were three members of LSU’s 2016 men’s and women’s teams who made their Olympic debuts that summer as Dunkley was also joined in Rio by Canadian hurdler Chanice Chase and British sprinter Nethaneel Mitchell-Blake. While Chase competed in the first round of the women’s 400-meter hurdles,

DID YOU KNOW? Former Lady Tiger sprinter Kelly-Ann Baptiste made her fourth Olympic Games appearance when she lined up for Trinidad & Tobago in both the 100 meters and 4x100-meter relay at the Rio Olympics. Baptiste made her Olympics debut as a teenager at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens, Greece.

Mitchell-Blake advanced to the semifinal round of the men’s 200 meters in his first appearance with Team GB as one of his country’s up-and-coming stars.

Mitchell-Blake actually received international attention just months before when he sprinted to a personal best of 19.95 and captured the title of SEC Outdoor Champion in the 200-meter dash among his three event wins at the 2016 SEC Outdoor Championships. He was just one one-hundredth of a second off of John Regis’ British record of 19.94 in as one of the world’s best sprinters for 2016.

Dunkley, Chase and Mitchell-Blake were not the only LSU athletes to compete in their first Olympic Games in Rio as former NCAA 800-meter champion Natoya Goule joined her Jamaican teammates and former Tiger sprinter Gabriel Mvumvure lined up in the men’s 100 meters for his native Zimbabwe.

Rounding out LSU’s Olympic roster at the Rio Games was former NCAA Champion hurdler Nickiesha Wilson making her third career Olympics appearance for Jamaica and former Lady Tiger sprinter Semoy Hackett of Trinidad & Tobago. Wilson had run the 400 hurdles for her native Jamaica in Beijing in 2008 and London in 2012, but took to the track in the sprint hurdles for the first time in Rio de Janeiro.

Each of these athletes added to an already proud tradition for the LSU Track & Field program at the Olympic Games that includes 62 different athletes representing 17 different nations since Sid Bowman became the first to compete for the United States in Amsterdam way back in 1928. Since then, LSU’s athletes have won 17 Olympic medals all-time, including seven gold, six silver and four bronze medals. Zimbabwe became the 17th country represented by an LSU Track & Field athlete when Mvumvure qualified for the first time in 2016 as other nationalities

include Algeria, Bahamas, Barbados, Canada, Grenada, Guyana, Jamaica, Kenya, Liberia, The Netherlands, Puerto Rico, St. Kitts & Nevis, Sweden,

Trinidad & Tobago and the United Kingdom along with the United States.

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 AlleyneForte 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 silver 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 second-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 finished second in the race, but was later stripped of its silver medal by the International Olympic Committee.

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 three silver medals from the Olympic Games.

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 AllAmerican senior season with the Tigers, Alleyne-Forte split 45.44 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 United States (2:57.05) on the medal podium.

Also claiming a medal in her Olympics debut was former Lady Tiger standout Samantha Henry as she ran the leadoff leg for the Jamaicans in the qualifying round of the 4x100-meter relay. Jamaica had a silvermedal-winning 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 400meter hurdler Glenn “Slats” Hardin won a silver medal in Los Angeles, California, in 1932 and a gold medal in Berlin, Germany, in 1936, the Tigers and Lady Tigers have won six gold medals, six silver medals and four 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 200meter final in her Olympics debut in London.

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 two 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 eight-man 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 100-meter 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 400meter 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. That silver medal turned to gold nine years later in 2017 when Jamaica was stripped of its medal after one of its runners was later found to have failed a drug test.

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 two-meter 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).

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 117 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 20 collegiate athletes who have recorded a faster time in the 100 meters than Holliday, but none played college football when they set their wind-legal PRs. The bottom line is that no high school, college or professional football player has ever run faster than Holliday during their football career. With this in mind, it is only fitting that Holliday be referred to as the fastest football player in the history of the sport.

ON THE TRACK

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 sixth-fastest 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.

ON THE GRIDIRON

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 also played for the Denver Broncos and Tampa Bay Buccaneers in his five NFL seasons, even returning four kicks for touchdowns for Denver in 2012 and 2013.

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 All-America honors.

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.

DONTE JACKSON

Jackson was the lead leg of the 2017 SEC gold medal 4x100 meter relay squad helping the squad to a time of 38.71. Jackson has tallied four career interceptions, forced a fumble that he recovered and registered a sack as a junior. At the 2018 LSU football Pro Day, Jackson clocked a blazing time of 4.31 in the 40-yard dash to record the fastest 40 time in the history of LSU’s Pro Day.

CYRIL GRAYSON JR.

A 4x NCAA champion and 7x All-American while at LSU in track and field, Grayson Jr. made the move to professional football after running at LSU. Grayson Jr. was a member of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers when they won Super Bowl LV in 2021 with a 31-9 win over the Chiefs.

History of the LSU TRACK & FIELD BANQUET

LSU Track & Field has set aside one weekend to serve as a true celebration of the rich history and tradition of the NCAA’s most storied track and field program as the Tigers and Lady Tigers have welcomed alumni back to Baton Rouge as part of the LSU Track & Field Team Awards and Alumni Recognition Banquet. The event has been held in each of the past nine years.

The program enjoyed a historic evening on the night of April 16, 2010, when it hosted the inaugural LSU Track & Field Team Awards and Alumni Recognition Banquet with a crowd of more than 500 athletes, coaches, family and alumni in attendance at the Crowne Plaza Baton Rouge. In attendance at the inaugural banquet were more than 100 LSU Track & Field alums representing six decades of the most recognized combined program in all of collegiate track and field.

The event was established to recognize the current members of the LSU Track & Field program for their outstanding performance in competition, in the classroom and in the community, as well as honor the alumni who have laid the foundation of success enjoyed by the program today.

The second-annual team banquet was held on Easter weekend in 2011 as the event again saw a strong alumni representation on a glorious Good Friday at the Pete Maravich Assembly Center. ESPN’s Emmy award-winning track and field commentator Larry Rawson was on hand to serve as the Master of Ceremonies of the event that year. The event returned to the PMAC for two more years in 2012 and 2013 before moving over to the Carl Maddox Field House in 2014 and 2015. The event is now held at the Renaissance Hotel.

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.

Academic SUCCESS

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 StudentAthletes is responsible for overseeing the educational development and progress toward graduation for all studentathletes. The staff acts as a liaison between the studentathlete 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.”

- LSU head coach Dennis Shaver

University Medal

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, the 2013 SEC Indoor 5k champion, also graduated in May 2013 with her Master of Business Administration while posting a 3.96 GPA in two years of graduate work.

Anna Lyons enjoyed an outstanding four-year career with the Lady Tigers as one of the elite javelin throwers in the Southeastern Conference. On Aug. 7, 2009, Lyons was honored as a University Medal recipient during commencement exercises after maintaining a perfect 4.0 cumulative GPA and graduating from LSU with a degree in kinesiology.

“We are excited about the opportunity to compete at the Bernie Moore Track Stadium. With the installation of a Mondo FTX surface, the same surface used during recent Olympic Games, 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.”

- Dennis Shaver, Head Coach

Bernie Moore Track Stadium

Home OF THE CHAMPIONS

T he heart of any track and field program lies in it’s facility. LSU is fortunate enough to own one of the finest track facilities in America and the world in the Bernie Moore Track Stadium.

Carl Maddox Field House HOME SWEET HOME

Locker ROOMS

Each LSU Track & Field athlete is able to prepare for training or meet day in style with separate locker room facilities for both the Tigers and Lady Tigers. Both locker rooms are fully-equipped with flatscreen televisions installed along the walls and satellite TV for athletes to enjoy as they prepare themselves to compete.

Team Showers

Separate shower facilities have also been provided for both the men’s and women’s teams as part of the renovation project to the Carl Maddox Field House. Athletes can feel refreshed as they go to class if needing to shower after practice or as they head home after a successful meet day.

Assigned Lockers

LSU’s locker rooms are each furnished with 46 full-sized lockers that are individually named for the athletes to which they have been assigned. Athletes have the peace of mind knowing their own personal belongings are secure before, during or after training and competition.

Podium

Coach Shaver has full view of his athletes as he talks training, trips or breaks down competition video for them using state-of-the-art multimedia on multiple flatscreen TVs installed around the room.

Video Analysis

A meeting room on the second floor of the Carl Maddox Fieldhouse is fullyequipped with video analysis technology so that the Tigers and Lady Tigers can analyze their performances over the course of a season. Video is stored on remote servers and can be accessed by athlete name, meet name or season.

Meeting ROOM

Opened in the spring of 2015, LSU Track & Field’s brand new meeting room in the Carl Maddox Field House is the perfect setting for head coach Dennis Shaver and his fellow coaches to address their athletes. Whether going over training and meet schedules, breaking down competition video or meeting ahead of their next road trip, the team meeting room allows coaches and athletes to always staytt on the same page. Brand new graphics were also installed in the fall of 2016 in the team room and both locker rooms that tell the story of LSU’s history at the NCAA Championships and Olympic Games.

A Long Time In The Making

Written By Aaron Hyder

A lifelong dream and promise to himself came true for former LSU sprinter Richard Thompson in May of 2020 as he graduated with a degree in sociology from LSU. He’s a three-time Olympian, multiple time SEC and NCAA champion, and now a college graduate – all of these achievements are the result of lots of hard work and dedication.

The Degree

It’s been 18 years since Thompson first set foot on LSU’s campus in January of 2005 as a freshman that had a tremendous work ethic. Fast forward to May of 2020 and Thompson is set to become a college graduate, something that’s been a longtime in the making thanks to his lengthy athletic career.

“I always thought it was important to come back to school and finish my degree,” Thompson says. “I was fortunate enough to have a successful professional career that lasted over a decade, you know. I cherished all the experiences I had while I was competing worldwide.

“This year has been circled on my calendar for sometime now. I wanted to run in one more Olympics (Tokyo 2020), but I also wanted to have my degree in hand before then. I got in touch with Coach (Dennis) Shaver and we made it happen. LSU was so accepting of me when I voiced my interest to come back and complete my degree.”

Thompson returned to Baton Rouge in the fall of 2019 and began on finishing off his degree while simultaneously training for his last run at the Olympics. Class in the morning, practice in the afternoons, it was just like the good ole days when Thompson was first on campus back in the mid-2000s.

“That’s why I love LSU so much,” Thompson notes. “Everybody here welcomed me back with open arms and made my transition a smooth one. It was a bit of a blessing for me as well as I had the chance to mentor some of the current student-athletes.

“I was able to give them real-life knowledge that I’ve learned over the years. I wanted to encourage them to perform well in the classroom and on the track. What kind of work it takes, you know? It doesn’t come easy, but if you just stick to the plan, good things will happen.”

When you’re an Olympian, a number of people look up to you as a role model whether you like it or not. Thompson knew that and has done his best to give back. The aforementioned advice he’s provided to current LSU student-athletes along with the numerous camps he’s hosted back in his homeland of Trinidad & Tobago are a prime example of that.

“I think anybody that has success has a certain responsibility to those who come after them,” Thompson says. “I’ve always tried to be present for our youth in Trinidad & Tobago. I’ve always put a priority on mentoring and speaking to them when I have the chance. I’ve hosted camps on a yearly basis back home since 2009 and I cherish those opportunities. I understand the impact I can have on them and that is a responsibility I take to heart.”

On The Track - LSU

Thompson was an avid sportsman growing up like most kids. He enjoyed all the sports and was active. Soccer was his first love but by the time he made it to high school he knew track was his best bet. That’s when coming to America for college became a reality.

“I started looking at what some of the other Trinidadian athletes had done prior to me,” Thompson remembers. “Ato Bolden (4x Olympian) was somebody who I looked up to and I saw he went to UCLA. To me, going to America where I could get an education and train at the finest facilities was a no-brainer. I knew if I wanted to get to the next level that was the route I had to take.”

LSU was just what Thompson needed. He was surrounded by excellence and for those of you that know how that stuff works, it became contagious. It was a challenge at first for Thompson, but he didn’t let that deter him. Instead, he used it as motivation and learned from those who came before him.

“At LSU there was this environment and culture of success,” Thompson says. “Coming into LSU, you’re expected to be an All-American and win national titles and that’s what I strived for.

“I trained day-in, day-out with some of the best. I mean you look at Kelly Willie, he’s an Olympian, Bennie Brazell, he’s an Olympian, Xavier Carter, he was just a freak of nature. That’s what I went up against everyday in practice and that prepared me for actual competitions. I paid attention to every single thing those guys did and that’s what helped me develop into the athlete I became.”

During his time at LSU he won four NCAA titles, five SEC titles, and set the school records in the 60 meter (6.51) and 100 meter dash (9.89), both of which still stand to this day. His senior season in 2008 saw him go a combined 9-0 between the 60 meter dash and 100 meter dash en route to winning national titles in both events. That wrapped up his collegiate career and just two short months later he would be on the world stage representing Trinidad & Tobago.

“Richard was one of my favorite guys to coach,” current LSU head coach Dennis Shaver recalls. “He was a hard worker and always wanted to get better. He was competitive and also had a great attitude. We took a chance on him and he made the most of it. It was a pleasure to witness his work on a daily basis and as he knows, it’s paid off in the long run –on the track and in the classroom.”

On The Track - Professionally

We have to rewind to a year prior in 2007 before we get to the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Anything below 10 seconds, wind-aided or not, that’s a baseline for letting sprinters know they are the real deal in the 100 meter dash. The first time Thompson went sub-10 was in 2007 at the Trinidad & Tobago Championships. He ran a wind-aided 9.95 to earn silver at his country’s national meet and that earned him a trip to the 2007 World Championships in Osaka. He made it to the quarterfinals of the world championships before bowing out, but he learned invaluable lessons at his first world meet.

“I didn’t make the finals in 2007, but I got to experience track and field on the most elite stage,” Thompson says. “That experience prepared me for what was to come and it even gave me loads of confidence for my senior season back in the NCAA. I knew that I belonged and it fueled me.”

Following his unblemished senior season at LSU, Thompson began his ascent as one of the best sprinters in the world. He ran sub 10 seconds twice in an LSU singlet in 2008 – 9.93 at the SEC Championships and 9.97 at the NCAA regional meet. It wasn’t again until later that summer at the Beijing Olympics that he cracked 10 seconds, and he did it three times in a row. 9.99 in the quarterfinals, 9.93 in the semifinals and just like that he was a finalist in the 100 meters at the Olympics.

“As the 2008 season kept progressing, I kept getting more and more confident,” Thompson notes. “The more confident I became I did not care who I came up against, I just had a belief in myself. Before you know it, I’m on the biggest stage in the world running out of lane five.”

Thompson dashed down the straightaway in a blazing time of 9.89 seconds to claim his first ever individual Olympic medal. He was beat out by Usain Bolt who ran a then-Olympic record of 9.69 seconds.

“I was never a prodigy growing up,” Thompson recollects. “I had to work really hard for what I got. Growing up I always had this dream of being an Olympian, but to say that I believed I was going to win a silver medal in the 100 meters at the Olympics is farfetched. So it hit me full circle when I won silver at the 2008 Olympics and I knew this was something that I could do for awhile.”

Prior to his individual silver in the 100 meters at the 2008 Olympics, Thompson served as the anchor leg on the Trinidad & Tobago 4x100 meter relay team that earned silver with a time of 38.06 behind Jamaica. In 2017 one of Jamaica’s members of the 4x100 test positive for a banned substance which DQ’d Jamaica and granted Trinidad & Tobago the gold medal.

“It’s bittersweet,” Thompson says. “Obviously you’re happy that you’ve achieved the highest feat possible in track and field – an Olympic gold medal. At the same time, there’s a big part of having your national anthem playing as your flag is being raised and we didn’t get to experience that.

“I’m honored and couldn’t be more proud to achieve Olympic greatness. We’ve pretty much had the same group of guys representing Trinidad & Tobago at the Olympics dating back to the 2008 Olympics. We’ve made three finals and medaled twice at those Olympic competitions. I’m very proud of how we’ve carried ourselves and represented our homeland.”

The Trinidad & Tobago relay team has been Olympic finalists every Olympics dating back to 2008 and Thompson has been on every one of those relay teams. The team added a silver medal in the finals of the 2012 Olympics in London.

Thompson is the 10th-fastest 100 meter sprinter in world history with a personal best of 9.82 seconds that he ran in 2014. The fastest man ever to come out of Trinidad & Tobago, he is a six-time national champion in his homeland. He has also won events at the World Cup (2014) and Diamond League (2010, 2012, 2014)

The three-time Olympian (2008 Beijing, 2012 London, 2016 Rio) had aspirations of representing his homeland once more again at the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo. Asked if he’ll make one more go at a fourth Olympics in 2021, Thompson says, “That’s up in the air. I’m enjoying time with my wife and kids and that’s what I’m focused on right now.”
