BATON ROUGE, La. – Reuben Booysen destroyed a 21-year-old javelin school record, and several athletes moved up the record books as the South Alabama Track & Field program wrapped up an impressive outing Saturday at the LSU Lurline Hamilton Invitational.
Booysen launched a monstrous throw of 72.45 meters (237-08) to claim the win and shatter the original school record of 69.63 meters (228-05) set by Justin Cummins in 2004. Not only did Booysen set a new program high he also broke a Lurline Hamilton Invitational record and owns the second-farthest throw in the nation this outdoor season.
