With 30 national championships in the record books, LSU has creat- ed the most balanced track and field program in the nation. the Lady Tigers have set a standard in women’s sports that may never be matched. Between 1987 and 1997 the Lady Tigers won an unprece- dented 11 consecutive national titles, a streak that stands as the benchmark of excellence in women’s collegiate athletics to this day.

However, when considering the HISTORY dominance of the Lady Tiger track RECORDS program in just the parameters of women's track and field, there is no other team in the history of the sport that can compare. Since the inception of the women's NCAA Track and Field Championships in 1982, the Lady Tigers have won 12 (1987-97, 2000, 2003) of the 22 outdoor champi- onships contested, and have finished second at two additional contests (1985 and 2004). The Lady Tigers scored an average of 74.7 points a year during their 11-year outdoor championship run, and completely dominating the field in 1993 and 1994, doubling the team points scored by the respective second-place finishers both seasons. Not to be overshadowed by the accomplishments of the Lady Tigers, LSU's total track and field program has made NCAA history several times as well. In 1989, both the men's and women's programs won NCAA Outdoor titles, marking the first time in history that one school claimed both the men's and women's outdoor national championships during the same season. LSU went on to repeat the feat in 1990, again rewriting NCAA track and field history. 2004 was another banner year for the storied LSU program as it once again made history, becoming the first school to ever sweep both the men’s and women’s national titles at the NCAA Indoor Championships. As the 2006 season approaches the NCAA National Champions have reloaded both sides of the program with a new generation of future All- Americans. These athletes will contin- ue to carry the torch for this storied LSU program.

They won their fourth indoor national championship in seven years in the last event, winning the 4x400-meter relay in a then-school record time of (3:33.63). The Lady Tigers then went 80 miles south of where they start- ed their outdoor streak in 1987 to win their seventh consecutive NCAA outdoor championship. They did it in record breaking fashion, scoring a school record 93 points, to outscore the meet's runner-up by an astounding 49 points. In 1996, the Lady Tigers made history by winning their 10th straight NCAA Outdoor title. Never before had a women's team reached double figures in consecutive titles in any NCAA sport. Led by seniors D'Andre Hill, Kim Carson, and Zundra Feagin, who all 2002 Men’s NCAA Outdoor National Champions brought home individual titles, the Lady Tigers stormed into Eugene, Ore., and took their place in history.
