HAZELANN REGIS LOWERS PERSONAL BEST.  
NEW YORK, Feb 06 (LSUSports) -- The Louisiana State University (LSU) track and field team finished up strong on the second day of the Armory Invitational at the New Balance Tack and Field Center in New York City Saturday as the women's team finished first and the men's team finished second. Senior Hazel-Ann Regis of Grenada and Freshman Xavier Carter broke the school record and the meet record in the men's 200-meter championships with an automatic time of 20.67. Regis won the women's 400-meters with an automatic and meet record time of 51.62. The time is the fastest time in the nation so far this year breaking her previous meet record, and was only three tenths of a second off of the school record time she set last year. Regis was also named the Female Collegiate Athlete of the meet. "My aim today was to come out and break my own record," said Regis. "Once I did that I knew I was on the right track and that I am ready for nationals." "Hazelann setting a new record here in this meet, a record she set last year, just gives you an indication of how good she is," said LSU track and field coach Dennis Shaver. "The competition was not as great this year for her. This year she came out here and did it all on her own. I think that is just a part of her maturity that is taking place." Brooklyn Morris, Neisha Bernard-Thomas, Deonna Lawrence and Hazelann combined to break the meet record in the women's 4x400-meter relay with an automatic qualifying time of 3:31.92. The time was only a second behind the school record of 3:30.14 set last year. Bernard-Thomas also won the women's 800-meters with an automatic and season-best time of 2:05.09. The LSU Track and Field team will be back in action next weekend, as they will go on the road to Nampa, Idaho for the Holiday Inn Team Invitational, February 11-12.
