Flau’Jae Johnson joined them on the First Team.

John Meyer also qualified as he finished in eighth in the shot put. The women’s team will compete today.
🔼 Back In The Boot. Men’s basketball head coach Matt McMahon has announced the hiring of David Patrick as associate head coach! Coach Patrick served as the head coach of Sacramento State for the last two seasons. He comes to LSU with nearly 20 years of coaching experience. He helped bring LSU a top five recruiting class in 2013 and 2015 that included players Ben Simmons, Antonio Blakeney, and Brandon Sampson.
