The LSU women’s track and field team jumped four spots Monday in the U.S. Track & Field and Cross-Country Coaches Association’s computer rankings.
The Tigers soared from sixth to second when the third rankings of the outdoor season were released Monday. Coach Dennis Shaver’s men’s team remained fifth.
LSU’s jump in the rankings was fueled by Michaela Rose’s personal-record time in the 800 meters at the Lloyd Wills Invitational. Rose claimed the two-lap race in 2 minutes, 00.34 seconds.
It’s the fastest time in the NCAA this outdoor season and is the third-fastest time in the world this year. It moved Rose into second on KSU’s all-time 800 list.
The men’s 4×100-meter relay team also leads the nation with a time of 38.53 seconds.
