What to Watch for this Week
Men’s 200 Meter Invitational – Friday @ 6:20 p.m.
Last week out Jaiden Reid clocked a time of 20.62 seconds in his 200-meter debut. The junior is looking to lower his No. 4 time in the country as the Tigers close in on the NCAA Indoor Championships. Reid holds an indoor personal-best time of 20.27 seconds that sits at No. 2 in LSU performance-list history, and will be on the hunt to take down the record of 20.20 seconds set by Terrance Laird in 2021.
Women’s 200 Meter Invitational – Friday @ 6:35 p.m.
Senior Ella Onojuvwevwo will be making her season debut this weekend for the women’s 200 meter. Onojuvwevwo holds a legal personal best of 23.11 seconds in the event, which she clocked at the Tyson Invitational last season.
Men’s 60-Meter Hurdle Invitational – Saturday @ 11:00 a.m./2:25 p.m./3:30 p.m.
Another Tiger making their season debut this weekend is Jahiem Stern in the 60-meter hurdles. Stern had a huge season indoors where he claimed All-American status and clocked a PR of 7.55 seconds that ranks second in LSU PL history. A time to watch this season is the LSU record of 7.51 seconds, held by fellow Jamaican Damion Thomas.
Men’s 60 Meter– Saturday @ 11:50 a.m./3:00 p.m./3:55 p.m.
A hot topic of discussion from last week’s meet was the men’s 60 meter. Leading the way was Reid and his season-best time of 6.59 seconds. Junior Joshua Caleb joined the LSU all-time top 10 last week when he produced a time of 6.60 seconds. Along with Reid and Caleb running the 60m will be Myles Thomas looking to get back in form as he’s fresh off a 6.66 second performance at the Razorback Invitational.
Women’s 60 Meter– Saturday @ 12:15 p.m./3:10 p.m./4:00 p.m.
Freshman Athaleyha Hinckson has been rearing into great form so far this season as she’s clocked a PR three times through three meets, doing so twice last time out. She closed her weekend with a new PR of 7.24 seconds, which is also the newest Guyanese national record.
