BATON ROUGE -- Three NCAA provisional qualifying marks and 14 individual event titles highlighted the season opening Purple Tiger Invitational for the LSU track and field team Saturday at the Carl Maddox Fieldhouse. "Based on what we were trying to get accomplished at this meet I am very pleased," said LSU head coach Dennis Shaver. "We had a lot of young athletes out there that I think they were a little nervous competing in their first collegiate meet and some even in their first indoor meet. They responded well and I think that was evident in the improvements from the preliminary heats to the finals." Breaking into the record books in his LSU debut was sophomore Alleyne Lett. Running the 60m hurdles for the first time in his career, the transfer from Central Arizona Junior College clocked a provisional mark of 7.88 to take home the meet title. Lett, a Grenada native who will compete in the heptathlon at Arkansas next week, also saw success in the field, jumping a personal best 7.31m (23'11.75")in the long jump. LSU also swept the meet's relay titles, taking home gold in both the men's and women's 4x400 relays and the distance medley relays. Brittany Harris, Tanya Osbourne, Sade Nero and senior Hazelann Regis - an Olympic semi-finalist and Lett's compatriot - combined to take home the women's 4x400 title in 3:43.75. Siraj Williams, Reginald Dardar,Pete Coley and Justin Callis won gold in the men's race at 3:15.74. In the DMR, the Lady Tiger foursome of Grenadian Neisha Bernard-Thomas, Meisue Francis, Osbourne and Ruth Nanyinza won with a time of 11:51.38. Reprinted from oecsathlete.com
