Track & Field

We don't need many points on the track if we can get back to that, and we are making progress.

I agree. The Acadiana area has long been a good source of Field talent.

We get back to dominating that, we'll be alright, but I still would love to see us show up in the "prestige" events like the 100 and the mile.

Can't win meets on field events alone....Relays is where you score points at! We lack all relays.... Yes the Field events look to be solid, it's the relays and sprints with a big ? right now.... We made big leaps last year and maybe when a new head coach is named that growth can start again... Love ya Cajuns...

Lancon won 16 conference championships without ever being dominant on the track.100 points in the field, maybe 30 on the track was typical.

I was President of the officials association during that time. We had MANY quality sprinters and middle distance runners. And we had enough talent in the longer distances to at least show up on the board.

Take a look at this

on page 21.

Looks like Lancon had many, top notch relays and sprinters! An ole track coach many years ago told me that in order to have a sucessful program you need field and track positions but more so you MUST have relays......

This shows we did have some killer relays....

Love ya Cajuns......

Yes, we had 'many'.... enough to score those 30-40 points on the track. Last team I remember that was relatively strong on the track was the one with Grady Labbe, et al... That was what? 25 years ago? Bob Cole teams tended to be a bit stronger on the track than Lancon's, but perhaps not quite as deep in the field.
