Senior claims event and leads pair of Ragin' Cajuns to top-5 finish
AUSTIN, Texas – Senior Claire Meyers broke a 28-year-old record in the women's javelin as she led a pair of Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns Track and Field members to top-5 finishes during the opening day of the 93rd Clyde Littlefield Texas Relays on Thursday at Mike A. Myers Stadium.
Coverage of the three-day event continues on Friday and will be available on the Longhorn Network with live results available at RaginCajuns.com.
Meyers claimed the individual title in the B section of the women's javelin after her throw of 163 feet, 9 inches on her second attempt eclipsed the Ragin' Cajuns school record of 160-1 set by Dorsey Steamer in 1993. The senior was joined in the top-5 of the event by freshman Maria Bienvenu, who finished fifth overall after her mark of 151-2 was the fourth-best throw in school history.
Ta'La Spates (56.42) finished 27th overall in the women's 400-meters for Louisiana with Shonita Brome finishing 29th in the 400-meter hurdles (1:02.69). Kiana Foster, competing in the first of two events for the Ragin' Cajuns, clocked a time of 24.41 seconds in the women's 200-meters to finish 32nd overall.
Brock Appiah posted a time of 21.31 in the men's 200-meters to finish 23rd overall for Louisiana with Tyrell Hargrove finishing 27th overall in the 400-meters (48.05).
Frankie Griffin (women's high jump) and Reagann Leleux (women's pole vault) will open the second day for Louisiana on Friday at 9:30 a.m. before John Joseph competes in the men's long jump starting at 12:30 p.m.
The trio of Serenity Rogers, Kennedy London and Osayi Omorodion (women's 100-meter hurdles) along with Johneisha George (women's 100-meters) will all compete in individual events on Friday for Louisiana with Yves Cherubin and Tahj Whitfield each competing in the men's 110-meter hurdles.
Cole Courtois (men's pole vault – University Elite), Terroll Jolla (men's 100-meters), Trejun Jones (men's 100-meters), Obdarius Ware (men's long jump – Section A), Damon Guidry (men's high jump – Section B) and Rylan Theyard (men's high jump – Section B) will also compete for the Ragin' Cajuns on Friday with the 4x100-meter relays teams set to run in the preliminaries at 1 p.m.
