TRACK AND FIELD

The LSU track and field team closed their one day of action at the Baylor Invitational on Friday, hosted at the Clyde Hart Track & Field Stadium.

The day started off with a pair of javelin-throw wins and a couple of new changes to the LSU record book.

Junior Alexis Guillory was the first up to bat as she bested her previous personal-best toss four times in six attempts. Guillory closed her morning with a new PR of 53.74 meters (176-3) in her fourth toss. The mark of 53.74m moves her up to No. 3 in LSU history, over three meters in improvement.

On the men’s side, Paul Catalanatto Jr. also finished with a win and a PR of 72.27m (237-1). Like Guillory, Catalanatto Jr. improved on his previous PR multiple times on the morning. The mark of 72.27m moves him to No. 6 in LSU PL history and top 15 in the NCAA.

The women’s 200 meter was one of the top running performances for the Tigers this weekend. Junior Aniyah Bigam got it all started for LSU when she clocked a big PR of 22.71 seconds (+1.7 m/s) to finish first among collegiate athletes and second overall. Entering this weekend that time would’ve ranked Bigam No. 4 in the NCAA. A heat later freshman Skyler Franklin clocked a PR of 22.99 seconds shaving just one millisecond off her HS best of 23.00.
