BATON ROUGE, LA - Yanique Booth's NCAA provisional qualifying time was the highlight of Saturday's LSU Purple Tiger Indoor for the Florida Atlantic University track team.

Booth's time of 8.40 seconds in the 60 meter hurdles was good for fifth place and was also a school record in the event. It marks the second consecutive year in which Booth has provisionally qualified for the NCAA Indoor National Championships. Freshman Caitlin Bowne also set a school record in the indoor long jump, leaping 17'6.25, which was good for fifth place at the meet.

Three other Owls set personal records as Krystal McCarty ran a 7.98 in the 60 meter dash, Brandi Prather finished third in the 400 meter dash in 56.89, seven-hundredths of a second off of the school record. In the mile, Christina Dutko finished second in 5:16.08 and Toni Jackson broke the tape in 5:32.55 to take seventh place. Jackson also finished third in the 800 meters, followed by teammates Patricia Gumbs in fourth place and Dutko in eighth.
