T&F: Louisiana Continues Big Spring on Saturday

[NewsCopy]

The Louisiana track and field team set a school record and put six other entries into the program record book on Saturday.

Isabelle Russell shattered her own record in the 5000m, finishing with a time of 16:43.69. Ella Segura became the second fastest Cajun in the event with her time of 16:52.39. That time would've beaten Russell's previous record of 16:52.56.

Juliana Courville had a big day with a pair of entries. She recorded the fifth-fastest 3,000S at 11:06.21 and the eighth-best 800m at 2:13.30. Owen Tauzin finished up redoing the distance records with a time of 32:05.67 in the 10,000m, putting him seventh all-time.

Lawson Jacobs almost broke one of the oldest records in the book, the men's 400m. The freshman's time of 45.91 was just short of Pat Gullet's 45.73 set in 1973, the fourth-oldest outdoor men's record. He also took over the top spot in the Sun Belt Conference by 0.6 seconds as he looks to sweep the 400m in the indoor and outdoor.

The women's 4x400m relay team ended the day with the ninth-fastest time in school history with Quincy Simon

Dang. You know you’re old when you remember Pat Gullet setting the 400M record.

While the diamond sports haven’t been what we were hoping/expecting, T&F seems to have found a resurgence. Especially on the women’s side.
