Bayou Brew 6/1: Ready For Eugene
Plus: Let's keep golfing.
Good morning, Tigers. LSU's women loaded up for the NCAA Outdoor Championships with a dominant Saturday at the East First Round in Lexington. Shawnti Jackson punched three tickets: the 100 meters (10.90, No. 5 in the world), the 200 meters, and the 4x100 relay, while Tima Godbless also qualified in both the 100 and the relay.

Freshman Skyler Franklin ran a personal-best 50.83 in the 400 meters, ranking No. 1 among U20 athletes worldwide, and anchored the 4x400 relay to a heat win in 3:27.50. Princesse Hyman qualified in the discus for the second straight year, Adeyah Brewster advanced in the 100-meter hurdles, and Edna Chepkemoi earned her second consecutive trip to Eugene with a 5,000-meter personal best of 15:53.25, good for No. 2 in LSU history.
What else is mixed into today’s Bayou Brew?
✈️ Heading To Eugene
🏆 Tigers Honored
🐯 And so much more!

🔼 Heading To Eugene. LSU's men punched 11 total tickets to the NCAA Outdoor Championships on a sizzling Friday at the NCAA East First Round in Lexington. The 400-meter trio of Grant Buckmiller (44.87), Malachi Austin (44.87), and Amal Glasgow (45.01) all advanced, with Buckmiller and Austin tying for No. 7 in LSU history.
Jaiden Reid qualified in three events (the 100 meters, 200 meters, and as part of the 4x100 relay), while Matthew Sophia qualified in the 110-meter hurdles for the fourth straight year, and Chad Hendricks earned redemption in the discus after fouling out at last year's regional. The 4x400 relay closed the night by breaking the facility record in 3:00.39.
🔼 Let’s Keep Golfing. Never count the Tigers out! LSU men’s golf was in last place at one point on Saturday, but the Tigers battled back yesterday to finish the day tied for 12th, just three strokes shy of eighth place. With Sunday’s incredible 18-under round performance, the Tigers advanced past the cut line and will play in today’s fourth round of stroke play in Carlsbad.

🔼 Tigers Honored. LSU's Noah McWilliams, Jay Mendell, and Arni Sveinsson were named NCAA Division I PING All-Region by the GCAA. Mendell and Sveinsson earned the honor for the second straight year, while McWilliams received his first nod after posting a 69.48 stroke average with five top-10 finishes. Mendell leads the team at 69.43 with six tournaments at seven-under or better, and Sveinsson ranks 11th in the World Amateur Golf Ranking.
