“It Will Always Be LSU vs the World”: Us Athlete Joins Sha’Carri Richardson, Mondo Duplantis and Others in Reacting to Their College Legacy

The Louisiana State University Tigers are one of the most formidable forces in collegiate athletics in the United States. Along with an impressive NCAA record, the LSU houses some of the most prominent track and field stars in the country. LSU athletes like Mondo Duplantis, Sha’Carri Richardson, and Quincy Downing have brought unrestricted glory to the college, some of whom also have represented the USA on global stages like the Olympics.

Now, as another season is upon us, LSU looks at a promising impact with its new state-of-the-art training facility. The 51-time national champion college looks to bring its A-game to the table and the fans expect something thrilling from the likes of Sha’Carri Richardson, Brandon Hicklin, and Michaela Rose.

Sha’Carri Richardson, and Mondo Duplantis show what LSU stands for

In a recent Instagram post, the official LSU track and field account shared glimpses of its athletes’ hard work as they train to make their mark on the national and international stages.

The video clip starts off by stating hard facts: “Everything in the world is a competition“. As the camera pans across the LSU training facility, viewers can hear the resolute words: “It’s talk vs action, dreams vs reality“. The stern words are followed by star track and field athlete Sha’Carri Richardson at an award ceremony thanking her college and training staff who have helped her amass international popularity.

Richardson acknowledges it was these people who encouraged her to work harder and run faster and carve out her own legacy in the sprawling world of track and field.

Once again, the Instagram video shows what being an LSU athlete entails and what is the high benchmark that all must adhere to as part of the LSU Tigers. “Expectations vs achievement“, a small but significant remark helps us comprehend the situation.

Showing small clips of the likes of Duplantis and other LSU athletes who have set world records, the video reminds us that it’s always “…the winner takes all“. A brief clip of Jay Harrison’s facial expressions after breaking the world record reflects perfectly what LSU stands for and who it represents on the global stage.
