AZUSA, Calif. – The LSU track and field team closed out day two of the Bryan Clay Invitational on Thursday at the Cougar Athletic Stadium, hosted by Azusa Pacific University. Michaela Rose highlighted the day after earning the 800-meter win in back-to-back seasons at the meet.
Rose was the last woman to compete for the Tigers on Thursday, earning the 800-meter win with a closely contested finish.
