Baton Rouge, La. – LSU track and field sprinter Favour Ofili ran a NCAA best time of 22.30w on Saturday afternoon at the Boots Garland Invitational that was held at the Bernie Moore Track and Field Stadium. The Tigers registered 11 total wins on the day.
The Tigers had four athletes, two men and two women, that registered top ten NCAA marks on Saturday. Ofili ran her aforementioned wind-aided time of 22.30w in the women's 200 meter dash which ranks as the number one mark in the NCAA so far this season. The blazing time was helped by a 2.6 meters per second tailwind as the race was run with a light rain in the air. The other female athlete to etch their way into the NCAA top ten list was Milan Young. Young ran a personal best time of 12.95 to rank sixth in country to come out as the top competitor in the 100 meter hurdles.

The winning 4x100 relay team included Dylan Peebles, Noah Williams, Dorian Camel, and Terrance Laird.
