Good morning, Tigers. LSU swept the top spots on the 2026 LSWA All-Louisiana college track and field squad, with NCAA 200-meter champion Jaiden Reid named men's track athlete of the year and javelin bronze medalist Jack Larriviere earning field honors.

Freshman Malachi Austin and newcomer Grant Buckmiller took their respective awards, while coach Dennis Shaver was named men's coach of the year after leading the Tigers to a fourth-place national finish. On the women's side, LSU's Shawnti Jackson shared track athlete of the year honors with Southern's Tashina Alase, with Princesse Hyman earning field honors and Shaver sharing the women's coaching award with Northwestern State's Mike Heimerman. Congrats, Tigers!
