HISTORY Elliott RECORDS Assistant Head Coach • 15th Season • LSU, 1991

A fixture at LSU for more than a decade, first as an athlete and now as a coach, Mark Elliott begins his 15th season with the program and his third as an assistant head coach working with LSU’s distance groups and cross country teams in the fall. LSU’s young middle distance corps enjoyed unprecedented success during the 2007 season under Elliott’s watch as the squad featured arguably the top freshmen 800- meter runners in all of collegiate track and field on both the men’s and women’s sides. In addition to earning All-America honors in the 800 meters with a fifth-place finish at the NCAA Indoor Championships, freshman Jamaal James became the first athlete to sweep Southeastern Conference indoor and outdoor titles in a season since Otukile Lekote of South Carolina in 2002. Freshman LaTavia Thomas was equally impressive on the women’s side as she also swept SEC indoor and outdoor titles in 2007, marking the first time that had been accomplished since Florida’s Tamieka Grizzle did so in 2000. The Tigers and Lady Tigers actually made history at the 2007 SEC Outdoor Track and Field Championships by finishing 1-2 in the finals of both the men’s and women’s 800 meters.

LSU TRACK & FIELD An Era OF EXCELLENCE

in LSU track lore came at the 1992 national championships in Austin, Texas. Trailing Florida entering the final day of competition, the Lady Tigers used a team effort to rally and defeat the Lady Gators (87-81) for an unprecedented sixth consecutive national crown. The Lady Tigers again demonstrated their dominance by winning two more national titles in 1993. 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 New Orleans where they started their outdoor streak in 1987 to win their seventh consecutive NCAA outdoor championship.
