BATON ROUGE -- LSU claimed the school's 49th national team championship – tied for the most of any school in the Southeastern Conference - over the weekend when the Tigers' men's track and field team lapped the field with an overwhelming victory at the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships in Eugene, Oregon.
LSU ran away with the 2021 NCAA Outdoor Championships, recording 84 points to finish well ahead of second place Oregon, who scored 53 points.
The 49th national team title for the Tigers ranks first along with Arkansas among SEC schools. All 49 of LSU's national championships have come while members of the SEC, while the Razorbacks won 12 of their national titles prior to joining the league in 1992.
