Baton Rouge, La. – A lifelong dream and promise to himself will come true for former LSU sprinter Richard Thompson on Friday morning as he will graduate with a degree in sociology from LSU. He's a three-time Olympian, multiple time SEC and NCAA champion, and a soon to be college graduate – all of these achievements were the result of lots of hard work and dedication.
The Degree
It's been 15 years since Thompson first set foot on LSU's campus in January of 2005 as a freshman that had a tremendous work ethic.
