BATON ROUGE, La. – The LSU track and field team will send 43 entries to next week’s NCAA East Preliminaries. Selections and national qualifiers in the combined events were posted Thursday. This year’s meet will take place May 24-27 at Hodges Stadium in Jacksonville, Fla.

The Tigers will be represented in 43 events by 33 individuals and four relays. LSU will have seven athletes in multiple individual events over the week – not including relays – in Da’Marcus Fleming (100/200), Dorian Camel (100/200), Brandon Hicklin (100/LJ), Thelma Davies (100/200), Leah Phillips (100H/400H), Shani’a Bellamy (100H/400H), and Morgan Smalls (HJ/LJ).

SEC Champions competing for LSU next week will be the men’s and women’s 4×100-meter relay teams, Alia Armstrong (100H), Godson Oghenebrume (100), and Michaela Rose (800).

The individual events with the most Tigers competing are the men’s 100 and the women’s 200 with four each. In the men’s 100 meter will be Godson Oghenebrume, Fleming, Camel, and Hicklin. Competing in the women’s 200 for LSU will be Favour Ofili, Davies, Brianna Lyston, and Kennedi Sanders.
