BATON ROUGE – LSU’s Class of 2014 signee Daeshon Gordon is certainly one of the nation’s top hurdle recruits in the wake of a brilliant senior season at Northeast High School in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and she will now compete on an international stage with Jamaica at the IAAF World Junior Championships to be held later this month.

It has still yet to be determined which event Gordon will be selected for participation at World Juniors as she is the reigning gold medalist in the 100-meter hurdles and silver medalist in the 400-meter hurdles with her performance in the finals at the recent Jamaican Junior Track & Field Championships held on June 15 at the National Stadium in Kingston.
