Celebrating A Century of NCAA Track & Field Championships
LSU’s Hobbs Couldn’t Be Caught In 2018
June 9, 2018
LSU’s women have a decorated history 100 meters at a time.
From 1982 to 2017, the Tigers won 21 national titles at the NCAA Division I Outdoor Track & Field Championships between the 100 (seven) and the 4×100 relay (14).
It had been a long time, though, since LSU saw someone as fierce as Aleia Hobbs in 2018.
Hobbs actually burst on the scene as a junior the year before when she clocked the second fastest time in collegiate history at 10.85. That came at the SEC Relays, where Hobbs came within shouting distance of collegiate record holder Dawn Sowell, another Tiger legend.
