LSU 400 runner too fast, so 2 Hogs settle for PRs

FAYETTEVILLE -- Arkansas sprinters Obi Igbokwe and Eric Janise did The Woodlands High School in Houston proud Friday night at the Tyson Invitational.

Igbokwe and Janise -- who were teammates at The Woodlands -- ran personal bests to take second and third in the 400 meters behind LSU senior Michael Cherry.

Cherry, a five-time All-American and two-time NCAA champion for LSU's 1,600 relay, won in 45.84.

Igbokwe, running in the final heat with Cherry, shot from fourth to second in the final meters and ran 46.16.

Janise won his heat in 46.29 when he overtook Texas senior Byron Robinson at the finish line.
