Look for Terrance Laird’s trademark upside-down bib to be the first one across the line in the 200. (BRYAN WAYNE)
LSU’S PROJECTED WINNING MARGIN has varied from chart to chart: 14 in #1 , 44 in #2 , 40 in #3 and now 32 as the Regionals subtracted 4 points from the Tiger total while Oregon added 4. Dennis Shaver’s Bayou Bengal squad is still projected for one of the highest scores in meet history, 85.
LSU remains so good that it could (heaven forbid) lose the services of projected HJ/LJ double winner JuVaughn Harrison and still have a 12-point margin over the host Ducks. Harrison should have company on the top step of the podium, as 2 other Bengals are forecast to win: Terrance Laird (200) & Noah Williams (400). Overall, the LSU juggernaut is predicted to have 13 scorers in 11 different events.
The host Ducks are tabbed for 8 scorers in 7 disciplines, including a trio of winners: Micah Williams (100), Cooper Teare (5000) & Emmanuel Ihemeje (TJ).
