After being named SEC Women’s Runner of the Week for the second week in-a-row, junior Favour Ofili will be looking to continue her dominance at the LSU Twilight. Ofili is set to run in the 60 meter a week after setting a personal best with a time of 7.15 seconds. That time sits at fifth on the all-time LSU performance list, only .08 seconds away from Aleia Hobbs’ program record 7.08 seconds. The women’s 60-meter prelims will start at 1:20 p.m. and will also have freshman Brianna Lyston, who is inching closer and closer to joining Ofili in the top-10. The finals will begin at 3:20 p.m.
