Individually, each should contend for national dominance in the events, as Coley is coming off a t h i rd-place finish in the open quarter at the NCA A Championships, while Parham turned heads in the 200 meters at that same meet. Filling in the missing link in the Tigers' relay squads will like- ly be a toss up between junior Marlon Greensword, junior college transfer Anthony Ewers and freshman . Marlon earned All-America honors on LSU's outdoor 4x400 relay team at the NCAA Championships last season, while Ewers has been a solid competitor in both the 200 and 400 meters at the junior col- lege level. Willie comes to LSU as one of the top sprint recruits in the nation. He has dominated the sprints at the high school level and is now ready to test the waters on the collegiate scene.

L Jumps S LSU will be without the services of six-time national champi- U on Walter Davis this season, but with the return of All-American T Traun Smith and the additional of two extremely talented junior R college recruits, John Moffitt and LeJuan Simon, the horizontal A jumps should again be a strength of the Tiger squad. C Simon comes to LSU as the 2002 NJCAA runner-up in the K after winning the national title in the event in 2001. Also a threat in the , Simon is likely to make an immedi- & ate impact at the national level in that event as well. F A two-time junior college All-American in both the long jump I and the triple jump, Moffitt should also make immediate waves on E the national scene in both horizontal jumps in 2003. L After finishing sixth in triple jump at the NCAA Indoor meet, D Smith will look to return to championship form after missing out- door nationals a year ago. Daniel Trosclair will lead the pole vaulting crew that also includes veterans Ben Broussard and Gabriel Caraway. Trosclair, who was an all-conference selection last season, eyes the NCAA NCAA Champion Pete Coley Championships after two seasons of solid performances at the SEC level.

Throws With three All-SEC honorees returning LSU should again be a threat the conference level in throwing events it looks to make waves on the national scene as well. Leading the way for the Tigers is sophomore Matt Vincent. Vincent earned all-conference honors in both the indoor and out- door shot put a year ago and should also be a contender at the con- ference level in the discus and weight throw this season. Junior college transfer Joe Lochridge could be threat at the NCAAs in the shot put and discus after gaining two solid years of experience at Moorpark Community College. Luke Kinnard and Keith Nunez will pace the Tigers in the javelin as both earned all-SEC honors last season and should again challenge for a spot among the conference's elite in 2003.

Decathlon With the departure of 2002 NCAA decathlon champion Claston Bernard, the Tigers will look to freshman Kwami Roberts and sophomore Brad Cook to lead LSU in the multi-events. Roberts' strengths lie in the sprint and jumping events, while Cook's sprinting abilities will likely be his strong suit.

Both will play vital roles on the LSU 4x400-meter relay team.

Hurdles The Lady Tigers return a talented group of hurdlers that is led by four-time All-American . Jones returns for her junior season as one of the nation's top hurdling prospects after recording top-five finishes nationally in both the 60 and 100-meter hurdles last season. Sophomore RaNysha LeBlanc has a chance to make her pres- ence felt on the national scene this season after earning All-SEC NCAA Champion Muna Lee honors in the hurdles as a freshman.

T R A C Track Dominance K

& LSU Men’s Team Won the 2002 NCAA Outdoor Championships F I LSU added another brilliant chapter to its already illustrious E track and field history as the Tigers closed the door on an amazing L 2002 season.Last year LSU added two national championships to its D storied NCAA history, bringing the program's NCAA title count to an amazing 26 championships. The Lady Tigers were crowned the NCAA Indoor champions for the ninth time in school history, while the men brought home their four NCAA outdoor title. In short, with 26 national championships in the record books, LSU has created the most balanced track program in the nation. However, 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 unprecedented 11 consecutive national titles. It's a streak that stands as the benchmark of excellence in women's collegiate athlet- ics to this day. The only Division I women's program with a streak that can rival the Lady Tigers' is the nine consecutive NCAA Soccer Championships won by the North Carolina Lady Tar Heels between 1986-94. Even in men's sports, the Lady Tiger’s streak is impressive.The lone streak that betters the LSU women is Arkansas' 12 straight indoor track and field national championships won between 1984- 95. However, when considering the dominance of the Lady Tiger track program in just the parameters of women's track and field, there is no other team in the history of sports 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) of the 20 out- door championships contested, in addition to finishing second in one additional contest (1985). 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. This tremendous accomplishment marked 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. As the 2003 season approaches the NCAA National Champions have reloaded both sides of the program with a new generation of Pat Henry has coached LSU to 23 NCAA future All-Americans.These athletes will continue to carry the torch National Championship titles. for this storied LSU program.

L S U

T R A The heart of any track and field program lies in its facility. LSU is fortunate enough to own one of the C finest track facilities in America and the world in the Bernie Moore Track Stadium. K The stadium was named in 1971 after the legendary head coach Bernie Moore, who guided the LSU track and field program for 18 years (1930-47) and led the Tigers to their first NCAA Championship in & 1933, as well as 12 SEC crowns. In 1969,prior to its naming after Moore, the stadium was laid with a tartan surface making it one of a F select few all-weather tracks in the United States and a perfect host site for many of the track world's elite I events. A sampling of these prestigious competitions include the 1973 and 1981 NCAA Championships, E the 1982 TAC National Decathlon Championships,the 1982 Decathlon Dual Meet with West Germany, the L 1984 SEC Championships and the 1984 TAC National Junior Olympics. D Further renovation was completed at the Bernie Moore Stadium in 1987,as $1.3 million was spent to lay the nine-lane 400-meter oval track with Rekotran just in time for the NCAA Outdoor Championships in 1987. In addition,the nine-lane infield straightaway -- the first of its kind in the world -- was installed. The facilities improvements and new benefits were seen immediately as 12 NCAA meet records and three collegiate records were set at the national meet that year. With the reputation as one of the finest track facilities in the country firmly intact, the Bernie Moore Stadium went on to serve as host for several more prestigious track and field events, including the 1993 National Senior Olympics and the 1993 USATF National Junior Olympics. In order to keep up with the advancements of the sport the Bernie Moore Stadium once again under- went massive renovations in 1999. That year, a brand new nine-lane 400-meter oval track was laid by Martin Surfacing, the makers of the 1984 Los Angeles Olympic track.In addition, the stadium's signature nine-lane infield sprint straightaway was also resurfaced.The new 400-meter oval now features fine 42- inch lanes, while the infield sprint straightaway sports 48-inch lanes. The Bernie Moore Stadium's field event areas are equally as impressive. The facility contains three dual-directional long/triple jump runways (six pits), a huge high jump apron that can accommodate three simultaneous competitions, a choice of four pole vault directions, two separate shot put areas, a choice of three wind-directional discus areas, two hammer cages and a synthetic javelin runway. These latest renovations made Bernie Moore Stadium the perfect site for additional elite track and field competitions. Most recently, LSU played host to the 2002 NCAA Outdoor Championships that saw the Tiger squad win their fourth NCAA Outdoor national title in school history.

The 2002 NCAA Championships were held at Bernie Moore Stadium.
