BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – The Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns track and field team heads back to Birmingham, Ala., beginning Monday when it opens competition at the 2019 Sun Belt Conference Indoor Track & Field Championships at the Birmingham Crossplex.
Â
The championship will begin on Monday at 9 a.m., with the combined events, beginning with the heptathlon. Field events begin at noon with running events starting at 4:15 p.m.
Â
The final day on Tuesday will see the rest of the heptathlon events at 9 a.m., followed by the pentathlon at 9:20 a.m. Field events begin at noon with the final running events starting at 12:30 p.m., and the awards presentation at approximately 4:30 p.m.
Â
A live video stream will be available on ESPN+ beginning at 5 p.m., on Monday and 1:30 p.m., on Tuesday. Live results of the two-day meet will be available at RaginCajuns.com.
Â
Louisiana, which finished sixth in men's competition and ninth in women's events last season, makes its third trip to Birmingham after competing at both the Samford Multi/Open (Jan. 17-18) and Samford Bulldog Invitational (Feb. 8).
Â
A pair of freshmen – Hannes Burger (men's 3,000-meters) and Reagann Leleux (women's pole vault) – posted the top marks among Sun Belt athletes in their respective events. Burger, a second-team All-Sun Belt Conference performer in cross country for Louisiana, enters his first SBC indoor meet ranked second in the league in the mile run, while Leleux set the school-indoor record (12-8 ¼) last month in her Ragin' Cajuns debut.
Â
Damon Guidry (men's high jump), Dominique Williams (men's weight throw) and Juliette Smith (women's pentathlon) all ranked No. 2 overall in their respective events for Louisiana with Kalei Matthews (women's 400-meters), Kimmie Rushford (women's pole vault) and Chandler Mixon (men's heptathlon) all ranked third overall.
Â
Two-time All-Sun Belt performer Kyle Baudoin will look to compete for the men's title in the pole vault after posting the third-best mark (16-10 ¾) among SBC athletes. Franz Beyer, the 2017 SBC champion in the men's heptathlon, will look to regain top honors after missing the entire 2018 season to injury.
