Section B is for the slower entries.

This week, they stunk up the place and should sit for the coming weekend instead of wasting $$ to go to the Texas Relays. They would not have won the parish meet back at ul.

And speaking of this weekend, had points been kept at LSU, here is how the teasm would have finished. Keep in mind that teams from north of I-10 did not bring full teams while the Cajuns ran almost everyone they had in the meet.... save a hurdler and sprinter.

At least it wasn't 3 points for the women and 25 points for the guys, like in the conference indoors.

MEN'S RESULTS
1 LSU 197
2 SE Louisiana 87

you guys can complain about how poorly the track team is but the bottom line is no one cares!!!! no one in the admin gives a rats ass about them. they do not even have a fax machine in the track office. the university runs the track program on a smaller budget than STM does. so quit complaining.

oh! by the way, SLU is the second best track program in the region aside from a few sec shools. and they do it in the field just like we used to. we are working with a $0 budget. combined our coaches are paid under 70,000. our last two womens coaches left to go work elswhere because the high schools could pay more than we did.

so everyone can get off the coaches ass about how we suck. they do what they can. maybe they are not the right people but they do work hard at their job. what lancon accomplished was a miracle and i doubt that there is anyone esle who could get the team to perform the way we did in the early 90s. and that was with a lot of spriters who were not even americans.

i hate seeing the program fall to where its currently at but until we get an AD and a pres who understands how to fully fund all athletics then it will be much of the same.

The only thing that sort of troubled me was the missed recruiting opportunity during the season when the track and field team had no track to call their own.

I see how that reads and let me explain. The year the new track was going up should have been the golden era in UL recruiting. No track of our own but a new track coming allows the recruits to imagine anything under the sun.

Just like football right now, the recruiting tool known as the indoor practice facility will never be as good a recruiting tool as it is right now. There is no recruiting tool as good as a person’s imagination.

I read once where not having a track for a year hurt recruiting. If true I think it a missed opportunity.

they have been using "we will have a new track" for over 10 years and the area coaches know this.

other programs in the state care about track and will continue to kick our butss. they are Northwestern, La Tech, SLU and LSU.

GULF SHORES -- Moments after failing to clear 6 feet, 6 inches on his third and final high jump attempt, Foley's Julio Jones knelt on the mat and cupped his hands to his head. Maybe next year, he thought. Jones, a blue-chip football prospect and one of the favorites to claim the high jump at the 4A-6A state track and field championships Friday and Saturday in Gulf Shores, was expecting to win. His season high was 6-8, but a tweaked hamstring held him back a bit and his fourth-place finish Friday was a disappointment. Then, just like that, it was forgotten. It was time to move on to the next event. Satsuma's Fabian Adams also had a rough day in the high jump, clearing 6-4 to finish tied for fourth with Jones. Granted, the Gators' four-sport athlete and Louisiana-Lafayette football signee had only begun to run track this year, but he was expecting better.

Veasey should be recruiting Bustle right now.

Now that a WBB coach is in the fold, it's now time to focus on the track program. A new coach needs to be named soon so that good acadiana recruits will have a reason to stay home.
