Men's Track only get 12.5 scholarships per year and women get 18. So unless you can get a top athlete, you don't waste a scholly on someone who likely won't score at NCAAs. Actually, very few athletes get a full ride. Most get partials so you can recruit a few more athletes. But with so few schollys, you're never going to recruit for every event. LSU has usually concentrated on sprinters.
