 UL - Louisiana’s Ragin’ Cajuns track and field team is set to host their first outdoor meet of the season Friday and Saturday.

The Louisiana Classics is set to begin Friday with the high school portion of the meet before the collegiate portion begins on Saturday.

The Cajuns have competed in two outdoor meets so far this season. The Cajuns began their outdoor quest at the Northwestern State Relays, March 7. Due to the fact that it was just after the indoor season ended many top Cajuns did not perform. The following week the Cajuns competed at the McNeese Relays where weather kept many of the sprinters out of competition. The weather will be favorable this weekend and it should make way for a majority of the team to compete.

After the Louisiana Classics that Cajuns will compete at the LSU relays March 27 and 28.

I walked over to the Track during the baseball game yesterday and was surprised to see at least one Bejing Olympic medalist, TEAM USA athletes and about 10 All-Americans running up and down Cajun Track. Oh and yes, LSU's track team and their full coaching staff.

WHERE in the Sam blazes was the PUB on this? BEFORE AND AFTER????

And where did those results times come from? Certainly not from yesterday.
