Philadelphia, USA – Once again, Louisiana State University got the best of Texas A&M in the women’s 4 x100m Relay at the 114th Penn Relays on Friday (25 April).

The LSU quartet of Brooklyn Morris, Samantha Henry (JAM), Juanita Broaddus and Kelly-Ann Baptiste (TRI) defeated Texas A&M, 42.59 to 42.69, in a race that produced the two fastest times in the world this season.

LSU and Texas A&M were both under the meet record of 42.73 set by LSU in 2003 and moved the schools into third and fifth on the all-time collegiate performance charts.

The triumph was one of three relay victories for the Lady Tigers, who also set a collegiate record in the Shuttle Hurdles Relay at 52.77 and won the 1600m Sprint Medley Relay in 3:46.65 on a warm and sunny afternoon before a crowd of 39,904 at the University of Pennsylvania’s Franklin Field.
