I don't like racing unless I'm in shape, something I haven't been for about 2 years now. Now my wife is due in April, so getting into shape for July could be tough, but hey, maybe I'll give it a shot.
Two names symbolize UL's track and field program: Bob Cole, for those who have been around the program for a long time, and Charles Lancon, for those whose Ragin' Cajun experiences are more recent.
Now both of them are gone, and it's time to put their names where they belong ... over the entrance to the Cajuns' track facility just off Bertrand Drive.
Lancon left us in 2002, in the middle of his 13th year as UL's track coach following an already-legendary three-decade career in the local prep ranks.
Cole retired in 1984 after two decades of running the Cajun program, and spent most of his time since then fishing Toledo Bend and tending his gardens until his health deteriorated over the last few weeks.

JONESBORO, Ark. - Lafayette's Justin Arceneaux came within an eyelash of winning the title of fastest man in the Sun Belt Conference Sunday.
Instead, he had to settle for the best individual performance by a UL athlete in the first conference meet of his career, the league's Indoor Track and Field Championships that concluded Sunday at Arkansas State.
Arceneaux, a product of Northside High, was the runner-up in the 55-meter dash with a 6.36 time. Middle Tennessee's Orlando Reid was also timed at 6.36, but Reid was declared the winner by a photo-determined finish.
Arceneaux, who had the fastest time in Saturday's 55-meter preliminaries with a 6.40, added that effort to his fourth-place finish in Saturday's long jump finals with a 22-11 1/4 leap. Those outings gave him 13 points, almost half of the Cajuns' 27-point total in the men's competition.

UL's current Tack and Field program is an embarrassment!
Well considering it is not funded by the University and can not even pay 3 full time coaches what do you expect. i would like to see you try and give the individual attention each track athlete needs to excell at this level when you only have one full time assistant and a part time distance coach. It can not get done.Originally Posted by CajunRed
