The LSU track and field teams are home for the second straight week as they host the LSU Invitational this weekend.
The No. 5 Tigers and No. 3 Lady Tigers outperformed the competition at the LSU Relays last weekend, but they will have a much stiffer test for the LSU Invitational as they face several top teams in a scored meet.
Texas A&M figures to provide the toughest test for LSU, as its men’s team is ranked No. 2 and its women’s team is No. 1. Iowa, Illinois, Connecticut and Army will also be competing in Baton Rouge this weekend.
LSU’s relay teams set the tone in its first action of the outdoor season last weekend, setting two stadium records and nearly sweeping the relay events at the meet.
Three-time NCAA champion thrower Walter Henning will make his outdoor debut for the Tigers in the hammer throw at the LSU Invitational, as he looks to extend his streak of 17 consecutive victories over collegiate competition.
