McDonald and Rose ran their blazing times in the 800 meters at the Bryan Clay Invitational. McDonald ran a career best time of 2:00.98 to win the event in a field of 160 athletes including some professionals. It was McDonald’s first open 800 meter race of the outdoor season and she sure looked sharp en route to her personal best time. It set the Cougar Stadium facility record, set the Bryan Clay Invitational record, and it set the current NCAA lead for the 2022 season. McDonald’s time moves her up to the No. 2 spot on the all-time LSU list, and it rates as the third fastest time in the world this year. Rose ran one heat after McDonald and collected a personal best of her own with a readout of 2:02.74 to finish seventh overall in the event. The 2:02.74 by Rose rates as the third fastest in the NCAA this season and moves her up to the No. 9 spot on the LSU list in the event.

SAC Relays hosted at Hilmer Lodge Stadium. The time bested teammates Alicia Stamey’s previous school record mark of 10:18.28 that was run last season.
