LSU athletics will host its first ever student cannonball contest during LSU swimming and diving’s meet against Texas on Friday, Oct. 11 at the Natatorium. The diving meet will begin at 12:30 p.m., and the swim meet will begin at 1:30 p.m.
Competing students will have the chance to win a team-issued swimming and diving backpack, and the deadline to register is Monday, Oct. 7. Hopeful competitors must be an LSU non-athlete student, and they must not work in the athletics department.
To register, students must also submit a sample video of themselves performing a successful cannonball and making it back to dry land.
LSU’s men’s and women’s swim and diving teams are both ranked in the top 25 of the the College Swimming and Diving Coaches Association of America (CSCAA) preseason Division I Top 25 dual meet poll.
