The two-time World Ju­nior fi­nal­ist got her win­ning throw in the third round to im­prove on the pre­vi­ous na­tion­al mark of 57.68m she set in the Ken­tucky, US in 2008. Mc Neese State's Ash­lee Smith (48.69) was 19th. Se­moy Hack­ett clocked 23.22 to win the women's 200m semi­fi­nals, ahead of Kai Selvon (Auburn) 23.44. Hack­ett was al­so part of LSU team which was clocked the best time of the day of 43.60 in the sprint re­lay. Flori­da State, with Brit­ney St Louis in the line-up, was fourth in 44.25.

In the men's 4x400m, LSU with Ade Al­leyne Forte was quick­est run­ning 3:03: 95 ahead of Jovon Top­pin's Flori­da in fourth (3:04:27).
