Toni Lee turned in the best weekend so far in this UL track season Saturday at the Cajuns' own Louisiana Classics meet. Lee swept to victories in both the long jump and triple jump in women's competition and followed with a fifth-place performance in the 100-meter. That effort was easily the highlight of the Cajuns' lone regular-season home meet this spring, one held in spring-like conditions. "The weather was fine," Lee said. "The wind was never too heavy." Lee won the long jump with a 19-4 effort, holding off Southern's Monica Robinson (19-2 1/2), and came back for a 38-8 effort in winning the triple jump. "I was hoping to beat my 19-6 of last weekend," Lee said. "I was hoping for a 19-8, or even 20 feet. In the triple jump, I went 39-1 last week and was trying to do better than that."

Our track and field program is an embarrassment and, regardless of what event we might have won, the Louisiana Classics meet was pitiful. In reference to most events, the only reason we were competitive in some was because the schools competing were by no means power houses. If you look at the times run and the distances thrown or jumped, they are far from impressive.

For several years, I was heavily involved in the Track and Field Association. Looking back I realize that we have now dropped to high school level. What a shame.

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.

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.
