LAFAYETTE – The Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns track and field team returns to action on Saturday when it travels to Lake Charles to compete at the McNeese Spring Time Classic at the Bill and Lena Henning Track and Field Complex.

The Ragin' Cajuns compete in Lake Charles for the second time during the outdoor season after opening at the McNeese Cowboy Relays/Bob Hayes Louisiana Challenge on March 9. Louisiana claimed six first-place finishes in the meet with Richard Delphin (men's hammer throw), Kimmie Rushford (women's pole vault) and Maliya Crouch (women's discus) posting top-5 marks in school history in their respective events.

Rushford (12-6 ¼) and Damon Guidry (7-0 ¼, men's high jump) will look to improve on their Sun Belt Conference-leading marks. Tyler Hughes, who clocked a season-best time of 14.19 in the 110-meter hurdles at the McNeese Cowboy Relays, is ranked second overall in the Sun Belt Conference.

Delphin enters the meet ranked No. 3 in the hammer throw among SBC athletes with Frankie Griffin (women's high jump), Reagann Leleux (women's pole vault) and Shaquille Singuineau (men's shot put) ranked third in their respective events.

Multi-athletes Franz Beyer, Chander Mixon and Juliette Smith are slated to see extensive action for the Ragin' Cajuns. Beyer and Mixon are each scheduled to compete in the men's 110-meter hurdles, long jump, shot put, discus, javelin and the 4x400-meter relay.
