Other LSU Sports

Yes the sprints & hurdles are shorter. There are fewer field events. Most important the track is shorter and tighter (up to 11 laps/mile) making slower times in the long distance events

A number of LSU current and former track and field athletes have qualified for the Olympics. This includes JuVaughn Harrison who won both the long and high jumps. He’s the first American to do so since Jim Thorpe in 1912. https://lsusports.net/news/2021/6/27/track-field-harrison-wins-us-title-in-high-jump.aspx

 

if they dont let shacarrie richardson run her event in the olympics because she smoked weed it will a be fucking insanity.

we gotta stop with this bullshit weed restrictions

running hard every day your whole goddamn life to be in the olympics, the most important moment of your life and some stupid fucks ont let you because of marijuana. its MADNESS

 

I agree BUT if she knows the rules then its up to her to lay off the tree for a bit until the race is over!

 

I hope she gets to do the 400 relay

 

i hope public pressure forces them to fix this idiotic rule

 

The athletes know the rules. Why can't they comply with them?

 

i cant speak for them. they have their own priorities. perhaps after her mom died last week it really stressed her out.

you dont agree, you think this should disqualify her?

 

I think its a dumb rule and it should be changed. Until it is the responsibility is on the athlete to not break it.
