BATON ROUGE, La. – The U.S. Track & Field and Cross-Country Coaches Association released their third list of national rankings for the 2023 indoor season on Monday. The LSU women’s squad jumped up four spots to No. 7, while the men dropped two spots to No. 27 after a weekend that saw a less than usual amount of student-athletes competing.
Sophomore Apalos Edwards is the newest Tiger to make his way into the top-10 national rankings this week. Edwards made a season’s-best leap of 52’ 11” (16.13m) on his fourth attempt of the afternoon. The Kingston, Jamaica, native landed at No. 10 in the nation after his performance this past weekend.
