BATON ROUGE, La. – The LSU track and field team closed the indoor regular season with the LSU Twilight meet Friday at Carl Maddox Field House.
One of the top moments of the season for the Tigers came on Friday in the men’s high jump competition.
Junior Justine Jimoh had a relatively clean today, missing one attempt on the first height of the day of 2.09 meters (6-10.25) before going on to clear a personal-best height of 2.22m (7-3.25). The new PR ties him for third in LSU performance-list history with Alain Metellus who cleared the height in 1986. Jimoh moves up to fourth in the NCAA with his new PR.
Leah Acosta was the other Tiger to enter the LSU all-time top 10 on Friday with the women’s shot put. Acosta went for 15.22 meters (49-11.25) on her third throw of the morning, almost shattering her previous PR by a full meter. Her winning throw moves her to No. 14 in the SEC this season.
