BATON ROUGE, La. – Donald Lamp broke the Louisiana Tech hammer throw program record for the second time this season at the LSU Alumni Gold at the Bernie Moore Track & Field Stadium on Saturday. The Bulldogs came away with six other top-10 marks.
 
The men's hammer was the second event of the day and the first for Louisiana Tech. Lamp qualified in sixth with a throw of 57.13m on his third attempt. He quickly moved into second in the finals with a 59.62m on his fourth attempt. His record-breaking mark came on his fifth attempt, where he launched the hammer 60.44m, breaking his own record by 0.43m. He now holds the top three marks in program history.
 
Already holding a top 10 mark this season, Oscar Smith came away with the seventh-fastest time in program history in the 110m hurdles. Smith finished third at the meet with a 13.55, just 0.01 slower than the second-fastest time in program history.
 
The next two top marks came in the following two events as Osaretin Joy Usenbor and Sabastian Bradley-Reed came away with the second-fastest times in the 400m. Usenbor ran a 52.71 for the 42nd fastest time in the country this season. Bradley-Reed clocked a 45.98 for the 35th fastest time so far this year.

Like they have done all season long, the 4x400 relay teams continued to put on a show. Tyhra Charles, Faith Tarver, Jamara Patterson, and Nia Wiley clocked a 3:33.86 to finish third, narrowly edging Patterson, Usenbor, Jenaia Williams and Wiley's time of 3:33.93 earlier this season for the fifth fastest in program history.
 
Tim Rummelhagen, Bradley-Reed, Cullen Hronek and Valentino Rudolph finished just 0.45 seconds behind the program record with a 3:06.16. It is the 26th fastest time in the country this season. It also marks the third different combination of runners to record a top 10 mark in the 4x400 this season for the Bulldogs.
