“It’s GEAUX time!” These are the most common words heard and shouted by anyone sharing a connection with Louisiana State University. And she also entered the camp by putting those three words on her social media. No, she wasn’t a mere supporter of the Tigers. Rather, her accomplishments as a budding track and field athlete in the state of Louisiana earned her that call. She was one of the top prep pole vaulters in the state. Also, before joining the LSU Tigers as a freshman, she was the fourth at the state meet. So what would you expect from such a talent in the coming days? Soaring high for sure! Be another Mondo Duplantis, right? However, Dillon Reidenauer didn’t have that luck.
On February 27, the official website of the LSU Tigers confirmed that freshman Dillon Reidenauer lost her life in a traffic incident on Wednesday night. On X, the official handle dropped the news simultaneously. Beneath it, a fan wrote, “Rest in Peace.”
