Distance runner Davis Bove broke his own school record
in the mile with a personal best time of 3:56.38 at the Music
City Challenge at the Vanderbilt Multipurpose Facility.
Bove broke the LSU school record only 15 minutes
from where he grew up as a child in Franklin, Tennessee.
Bove ran 3:56.38 and finished seventh in the event that
was one of the fastest in collegiate history. His previous
school record of 3:57.49 came on the same track almost a
year to the date on February 12, 2021. Davis Bove clocked
his second personal best in as many days with a career-best
time of 7:55.95 in the 3,000-meter run to place fourth in
the event. The time moves him into the No. 2 spot in LSU
history.
Alicia Stamey was very productive in the women’s mile
as she ran a personal best time of 4:46.37 to place 14th. The
time of 4:46.37 by Stamey ranks as the 10th fastest in LSU
history.
Eric Coston finished 27th in the men’s mile with a
season-best of 4:08.70, and Adam Wise placed 51st with a

meters.
LSU distance runner Katy-Ann McDonald ran a career
best indoor time of 2:03.73 on Saturday at the Music City
Challenge to finish third in the event at the Vanderbilt
Multipurpose Facility.

up from No. 9 in LSU history to No. 6.

meters in program history with a personal best time

9:49.24 in the 3,000 meters to rank No. 7 in LSU history.
Stamey placed 14th and Stevenson finished 24th. Doria
Martingayle clocked a 10:17.58 in the event as well to
register a personal best.
