LAFAYETTE- The Louisiana's Ragin Cajuns track team held the first annual Louisiana Classics track meet Friday and Saturday, March 18-19, at Cajun Track.
"This was our first time at home in like three years," head coach Lance Veazey said. "All the friends and family came out and we had a good crowd. I think that definitely played a big part in it."
Top finishers for the Cajuns include Ashley Brooks in the 400 who finished in second, Jasmine Collins and Laura Zaunbrecher who finished second and third in the 800 and Kim Octave who finished first in the 100 meter hurdles. In the pole vault, Andree Vonvillain finished in first with a jump of 3.35 meters.
For the men Scott Lowry took first in the pole vault with a jump of 4.57 meters.
