LSU Track & Field Wraps Up Fall Training

Track & Field Wraps Up Fall Training
Updated: December 23, 2009, 11:34 a.m. (CT)
by Will Stafford, Associate Sports Information Director Comments

The LSU track and field teams are gearing up for another banner year this spring and are in the midst of a strenuous fall training regimen designed to help them compete against the nation’s best. The Tigers and Lady Tigers form the premier combined program in all of collegiate track and field with an impressive 31 NCAA championships and 46 Southeastern Conference championships all-time.

The last in a nine-part series updating LSU’s progress during the fall training season will look ahead to the 2010 season.

BATON ROUGE – The start of the 2010 season is now less than one month away and members of the LSU track and field program are anxious to compete after wrapping up their fall training programs and heading home this weekend for the Christmas break.

LSU’s student-athletes will reconvene on campus Jan. 6 as they start to put the finishing touches on their preparation for the start of the 2010 season.

“I am very pleased with the intensity that our athletes have brought to training each and every day during the fall. That’s been a point of emphasis for us all semester,” said LSU head coach Dennis Shaver. “They have prepared themselves very well to compete at the highest level this season. I know they are anxious to get it going and see where they stack up against the nation’s best this spring.”

The 2010 season is one of great anticipation for both the men and women at LSU as the teams welcome a host of All-America performers from a year ago back to the squad this season.

The Tigers are sure to be led by a pair of national title contenders as senior Trindon Holliday returns for a final indoor season after being crowned NCAA 100-meter champion in his final appearance at the NCAA Outdoor Championships in 2009. Junior Walter Henning also makes his return as one of the elite throwers in the country following his NCAA runner-up performance in the hammer throw a year ago.

The Tigers return five other All-America performers from 2009, including senior Armanti Hayes (4x100, 4x400), senior Richard Jones (Benicia, CA)(800 meters, 4x400), sophomore Ade Alleyne-Forte (4x400), sophomore Barrett Nugent (4x100) and sophomore Robert Simmons (400 meters, 4x400).

The Lady Tigers also return a wealth of talent from a season ago as seniors Samantha Henry and LaTavia Thomas are sure to lead the way in their final season in the purple and gold.

Henry earned a team-leading five All-America honors in 2009 with her performance in the 60-meter dash, 100-meter dash and 200-meter dash during both the indoor and outdoor seasons. She also ran the third leg on LSU’s 4x400-meter relay team that finished as the national runner-up at the NCAA Outdoor meet.

Thomas anchored the relay to that NCAA runner-up finish during the outdoor season while running a best time of 3 minutes, 28.82 seconds for the season. The former NCAA Indoor champion in the 800 meters also earned a pair of All-America honors in the half-mile run, including an impressive third-place finish at the NCAA Outdoor Championships with a personal-best time of 2:01.56.

The Lady Tigers also welcome back the services of five other All-Americans from 2009, including senior Kayann Thompson (4x400), junior Brittani Carter (high jump), junior Brittany Hall (800 meters, 4x400), junior Kenyanna Wilson (60 meters, 100 meters) and sophomore Rachel Laurent (pole vault).

The Tigers and Lady Tigers kick off the 2010 indoor season on Jan. 22 when they play host to the Purple Tiger Classic at the Carl Maddox Field House.

Track & Field News ranks both Texas A&M recruiting classes No. 1

Track & Field News ranks both Texas A&M recruiting classes No. 1
Aggie women earn an unprecedented third consecutive No. 1 ranking by the magazine







Dec. 18, 2009


Mountain View, California - Earning No. 1 rankings for both its men's and women's recruiting classes in 2009 enabled Texas A&M to become only the second school to achieve the feat in the 15-year history of Track & Field News ranking collegiate recruiting classes.

Texas, in 2002, is the only other school to claim top honors in both the men's and women's rankings in the same year by the monthly magazine.

Amid a season which resulted in a pair of NCAA Outdoor championships for Texas A&M, a first for the program, the Aggie coaching staff was also busy recruiting elite athletes for future seasons.

The incoming A&M class, which has been in fall training on the Aggie campus as they prepare for the indoor track and field season, earned No. 1 rankings from Track & Field News in the January 2010 edition of the magazine.

"Recognition of our recruiting class is appreciated," Texas A&M head coach Pat Henry said. "I believe we have recruited some very good athletes, but success at the next level is dictated by the amount of work you do. The predictions are exactly that, and it's very early to talk about any type of team success."

For the Aggie women this honor marks an unprecedented third consecutive year for the program to be ranked No. 1 by Track & Field News, who correctly predicted an outdoor national championship for the A&M women last season at this time of the year.

The Aggie women are the first women's program to have three straight No. 1 rankings. Stanford men produced a three-year No. 1 streak from 1997 to 1999. In 2006 the A&M women earned a No. 2 ranking and then achieved No. 1 status in 2007, 2008 and 2009. Prior to 2006 the Aggie women had a No. 5 ranking in 1998.

Following the Aggie women in the 2009 rankings were 2. Michigan; 3. Arizona State; 4. Kansas; 5. Texas Tech. Receiving honorable mention: 6. Stanford; 7. Oregon; 8. Virginia; 9. USC; 10. LSU.





A No. 1 ranking for the Texas A&M men was its first mention in the top five since 1995, when the Aggies ranked No. 2 behind Tennessee.

Finishing in the 2009 rankings behind Texas A&M were 2. Texas; 3. Oregon; 4. California; 5. Wisconsin. Honorable mention went to: 6. Duke; 7. Kansas; 8. UCLA; 9. Virginia; 10. LSU.

Also in the January issue of the magazine is an early prediction on the outcome of the NCAA Outdoor Championships at historic Hayward Field in Eugene, Oregon. The Aggies will be seeking to defend their first-ever national titles at the University of Oregon, the program that placed second in both the men's and women's team scoring in Fayetteville, Arkansas, this past summer.

Track & Field News predictions expert John Auka has the A&M men scoring 64 points to finish ahead of Florida (63), Oregon (46), Arizona State (42) and Florida State (40).

Also predicting event winners, the Aggies are tabbed to claim victory in the 400 with newcomer Tabarie Henry and the men's 4 x 400, where an A&M squad has been runner-up the past three years at the NCAA Outdoor meet.

In the women's team predictions, T&FN expert Jack Pfeifer has the Aggie women reaching a total of 63 points to finish ahead of Oregon (57), LSU (43), Virginia Tech (42) and BYU (38).

Event winner predictions from Pfeifer include Porscha Lucas repeating as the 200 champion along with Jessica Beard claiming the 400 after she was runner-up at NCAA Indoor and Outdoor meets last season. The A&M women's 4 x 100 relay are tabbed to win a fourth consecutive crown in the event after breaking a 20-year-old collegiate record with its 42.36 victory this past summer.

The A&M men's recruiting class is highlighted by Tabarie Henry, who placed fourth in the 400 at the World Championships in Berlin this past summer and sports a personal best of 44.77 seconds. In 2008 Henry represented his native country of U.S. Virgin Islands at the Beijing Olympics, reaching the semifinals of the 400.

In addition the men's recruiting class includes Wayne Davis II, a prep All-America from North Carolina who set the World Junior record and U.S. high school record in the 110 hurdles at 13.08 seconds while winning the 2009 Pan-Am Junior title in his parent's native country of Trinidad & Tobago.

Other members of the 2009 A&M recruiting class include Curtis Mitchell, two-time California junior college champion in the 100 (10.31) and 200 (20.58) who placed fourth in the 200 at the World Junior Championships in 2008; Demetrius Pinder, runner-up in 400 (47.02) at 2009 NJCAA Indoor Championships; Sam Humphreys, who produced the third-farthest javelin throw (230-8) among preps in 2009; C.J. Brown, the Texas 5A state champion in the 1,600 (4:10.98); Joe Snelick, Texas 5A state runner-up in the 800 (1:53.49); James Bonn, Texas 4A state third place finisher in the 800 (1:53.04); and Casey Strong, a shot put (58-9.75) and discus (175-9) thrower.

Headlining the women's incoming class is Jeneba Tarmoh, a World Junior 100 champion in 2008, along with Natasha Ruddock, a NJCAA national champion in the 60m hurdles indoors and 100 hurdles for Essex County in New Jersey. Tarmoh has personal best marks of 11.21 and 22.94 while Ruddock has produced marks of 8.13 in the 60 hurdles and 13.15 in the 100 hurdles.

The women's class also includes Donique' Flemings, a double Texas 4A state hurdle champion with top marks of 13.58 in the 100H and 58.66 in the 400H who earned prep All-America honors in both events in 2008; Sasha-Kay Matthias, a double NCJAA champion in the long jump in 2009 with career best marks of 20-2.5 and 40-6.25 in the long and triple jumps; Jennifer Edwards, who finished third in shot put at Texas 5A state meet and has a marks combo of 46-3 shot and 141-0 discus; Bonnie Richardson, who won Texas Class A state team titles two years in a row as lone competitor for Rochelle HS; Taylor Rosser, Texas 5A state champion in the shot put who produced marks of 46-8 in shot and 144-0 in the discus; Chandrell Stephens, an 11.56 / 23.96 sprinter who won the Texas 4A 200 title and was runner-up in the 100 in 2009; and Tara Upshaw, Texas 5A state runner-up in the 3,200 (10:37.85).
