Cajuns Men's Track Finishes Second at SBC Track Championships

[Benchwarmer]

Virtually all the 3000 meter and up events are dominated by foreign runners, but we ought to be able to score in the 400, 800 and 1500 meter events..

I agree that many schools have recruited foreign runners instead of american kids. I also agree that many of the foreigners win conference crowns, but I have witnesses american kids score points in conference. Kelly's recruits will score points for the cajuns, if not next year definitely in two. The steeple points are wide open in the sunbelt.

I really like Kelly. The fact is, though, that her charges did not come close to scoring a point in this meet, men or women. Granted, it is her first year. We shall see. I do not expect us to ever be strong in those events, but if we can score 2-4 points in each distance event, it will help a lot. I hope I am pleasantly surprised.

One other fact. Louisiana HS track is beyond pathetic in distance events. We did get a decent miler from Catholic-BR this spring, so there is some hope, even though nationally he is not an elite runner. [He is US # 58 in the 1600 and unranked in the 3200. He is also unranked in the 1500 and the 3000.]
