Louisiana Rising Stars: A Look To The Present And Future


From Highland Baptist Christian School, Tyler Blissett has been a low-key 1A talent that has shown tremendous potential. During his 7th-grade year, he broke 5-minutes for the mile and ran a time of 10:26 for the 3200m. Not to mention a standout performance by him at the Westgate Tigers Invitational, where he finished 10th with a PR of 16:49. This time is about a whole minute better than what he ran last year, so there is no telling as to how much he will continue to improve later this season.

Personal Bests:

1600m: 4:56.72

3200m: 10:26.98

3 Mile: 16:49



Following up on the girls' side is sophomore Cayden Boudreaux of Albany. During her freshman year, she claimed the 3A cross country champion title as well as claiming two third-place finished at the outdoor track state meet in the 1600m and 3200m. Coincidentally, her two third-place finishes at the state meet are also her best races for those two events. Boudreaux recently opened up her season strong with a time of 19:25 and an 8th place finish at the Episcopal Round Table Run

800m: 2:29.68
