Hammond, La- The Southeastern Louisiana track and field teams hosted their annual meet, the Southeastern Lion Invitational, on Friday. Slated against twelve other collegiate squads, the Lions and Lady Lions recorded a total of twelve first-place finishes in front of a home crowd at the Southeastern Track and Field Complex.
"Everything that you want in a home meet, we got today," said head coach Sean Brady. "We got a chance to show off our team in front of our home crowd, which we only get to do once a year."
Three Lady Lions paced the women's performances. Freshman Kaelynn Smith claimed the top spot in the women's 100-meter dash with a time of 11.99 seconds.

"We met a lot of our performance goals that we're looking for at this point in the year," Brady said. "I expected them to do well here, at this time, and they did."
