GRENADIANS LEAD LSU'S STRONG PERFORMANCE  
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. -- In just the second meet of the season, the LSU track and field team assaulted the record books, recording six marks that rank among the top 10 in school history, while also automatically advancing one athlete to the NCAA Championships, and provisionally qualifying four others, Saturday at the Razorback Invitational. "Coming into this meet we trained really hard for three weeks," said LSU head coach Dennis Shaver. "Because of that we knew we would be a little bit tired, but I think this weekend we performed very well, and even showed some signs of greatness, but those were probably even tempered a little bit by the fatigue factor." Not looking tired at all was Grenadian senior Hazelann Regis who became the second LSU athlete, and first Lady Tiger of the season, to earn an automatic bid to the indoor national meet. In her first 400m race of the year, Regis clocked an impressive 52.02 to fend of the field, one that included Olympic gold medalist Veronica Campbell. Also landing in the record books was sophomore Alleyne Lett. Lett, another young athlete from Grenada, finished second in the 60m dash, won the shot put and long jump, won the 60 hurdles as he finished second in the heptathlon with a school record 5,033 points. Alleyne's 1000m (3:05.63), 60h (7.88), pole vault (3.55)shot put (14.05m) and heptathlon performances all stand as Grenada national records. "Overall, I feel this was a great competition," said coach Shaver. "Now we are looking forward to coming back home and getting some things done there." Reprinted from OECSathlete.com
