Mondo Duplantis — Greatest LSU athlete of all time?

This is something that LSU fans don’t like talking about, because it doesn’t involve football, tailgates, or arguing about recruiting stars:
The most dominant athlete LSU has ever produced didn’t wear pads, didn’t dunk, and didn’t do gymnastics.
It’s Mondo Duplantis — and it’s honestly not even close.
Every other LSU sport gets celebrated for moments. Big seasons. Big games. Big personalities.
Mondo just casually keeps resetting the physical limits of the human race, and we shrug because it happens on a track instead of on primetime.
Every world record Mondo Duplantis has broken:
Indoor
• Feb 8, 2020 – 6.17
• Feb 15, 2020 – 6.18
• Mar 7, 2022 – 6.19
• Mar 20, 2022 – 6.20
• Feb 25, 2023 – 6.22
• Feb 28, 2025 – 6.27
Outdoor
• Sept 17, 2020 – 6.15
• May 23, 2021 – 6.16
• June 24, 2022 – 6.20
• July 24, 2022 – 6.21
• Sept 17, 2023 – 6.23
• Apr 20, 2024 – 6.24
• June 15, 2025 – 6.28
• Summer 2025 – 6.29
• Sept 15, 2025 – 6.30
That’s 14 world records.
Not LSU records.
Not NCAA records.
World records.
Joe Burrow gave LSU the greatest football season of all time. No argument.
Shaq was a once-in-a-generation freak.
Leonard Fournette ran through SEC defenses like they personally offended him.
Angel Reese wins and lets you know about it.
And yes — Livvy Dunn is hot.
All of them are LSU legends.
But none of them are actively changing what humans are physically capable of in real time.
Mondo doesn’t have a “best season.”
He has a long-term habit of breaking his own world record just to make sure nobody else ever gets close.
Football dominance lasts a season.
Basketball dominance lasts an era.
Being hot lasts as long as the internet decides.
World records last forever.
You can argue favorite LSU athlete all you want.
But if we’re talking greatest?
The answer is Mondo.

Mondo was born in Lafayette, LA. Holds duel citizenship with US and Sweden. USA gave him everything and he jumps for Sweden in Olympic and international competition?? Good for him and all, but not very impressed he rides the best pole.

He is the greatest LSU athlete ever. Could be one of the greatest USA Olympians ever, sucks he didn’t go that route.

Except a spot on the Olympic team his first time.
Also track and field is bigger in Europe and you can earn a lot more money.
The Olympics are not the Army.
It’s all corporate/professional bullshite anyway. This isn’t the 60s.

USA takes more from you than it gives. Unless you're on welfare

If you want to answer this with a sneaky good answer as athlete.
Chad Jones because he dominated at an elite level across multiple sports and positions, simultaneously, on national championship teams. He won a BCS football national title and baseball title, earned All-SEC honors as a safety and a game-changing punt returner. He also won a College World Series, hitting .343 and was the closer on the national championship baseball team, with a 2.70 ERA and throwing three straight scoreless, hitless innings to close out the title game. No other LSU athlete combined championships, true multi-sport athleticism, and elite production across different positions like my baw Chad Jones.

Nah, adding a hundredth of a meter so he can keep claiming new records doesn’t do it for me.
