Lamara Distin won the high jump at the LSU Alumni Gold meet with a clearance over 6-4.75/1.95m, topping her season best of 6-4/1.93m from Mt. SAC. The mark is a national lead and registers only two centimeters off her personal best of 6-5.5/1.97m from last April. Distin made three attempts at 6-6.75/2.00m, missing them all.
