2006 Meet
North Carolina women and LSU men won the team championships, both in very close competitions. UNC, coached by Dennis Craddock, defeating defending champion LSU by a point and a half, 73.5-72.
The LSU men, coached by Dennis Shaver, won the concluding mile relay to come from behind on the last event and defeat Texas and Arkansas by just a few points, and only after those 2 teams had scratched their relay teams. Next, that Laura Gerraughty, coming back from career-threatening treatment on her injured wrist, won the women's shot put on Friday with 60-7 1/4, setting a meet record, an Armory record, and it was the longest put in the country this season. She was named women's Outstanding Competitor.
