Guidry Claims High Jump Crown At Florida Relays

GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Damon Guidry maintained his top mark in the Sun Belt Conference in the men's high jump, claiming top honors in the event after clearing the bar at 7-0 ¼, to lead the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns track and field team on the final day of the Pepsi Florida Relays on Saturday at Percy Beard Track, located inside James G. Pressly Stadium.

Frankie Griffin earned a seventh-place finish in the women's high jump (5-7) while Kyle Baudoin finished eighth overall in the men's pole vault after clearing the bar at 16-7 ½.

Guidry, ranked No. 4 in the NCAA East Region and No. 7 nationally, joined Buffalo's Brandon Burke for the overall lead after clearing 6-11 on his final attempt. The Crowley native then cleared his season-best on his first attempt before Burke missed on all three attempts at 7-0 ¼.

Louisiana placed two athletes in the top 20 in the men's shot put with Shaquille Singuineau finishing 15^th (52-5 ¼) with Zach Lewis placing 19^th (49-7 ¾).

The Ragin' Cajuns men's sprint medley relay team earned a ninth-place finish after crossing the finish line in 3:29.51, with the men's 4x100-meter relay team posting a time of 41.61 and the 4x800-meter squad finishing in 7:47.63.

Louisiana will return to action on Saturday (April 6) when it travels to Lake Charles to compete at the McNeese Invitational.
