LAFAYETTE – The Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns Track and Field team returns to action on Saturday when it makes the short trek over to Baton Rouge to compete in the Boots Garland Invitational at LSU's Bernie Moore Track Stadium.

Events begin with the women's discus throw at 9:30 a.m., before running events start at 1:30 p.m. Louisiana will join host LSU in the 13-team meet that also includes Houston, Louisiana Tech, Loyola (Ill.), McNeese State, New Orleans, Nicholls State, Northwestern State, South Alabama, Southern University, Tulane and ULM. Live results will be available here.

Bernie Moore Track Stadium will allow up to 2,800 fans to enter the meet, which is 50 percent capacity at the venue. Admission will be free of charge and spectators will be required to wear face masks in order to attend the meet.

Louisiana returns to action after a successful weekend at Alabama's Crimson Tide Invitational. The Ragin' Cajuns produced a pair of school-records with Chandler Mixon (men's decathlon) and Claire Meyers (women's javelin) posting top-20 national marks in their respective events with Louisiana establishing eight top-5 marks in the school record books.

Kiana Foster (women's 200-meters), Trejun Jones (men's 100-meters), Yves Cherubin (men's 110-meter hurdles) and Nathan Fergusson (men's 400-meter hurdles) will all get a chance to expand on their top marks among Sun Belt Conference athletes. Brooklynne Wilson (women's discus) and Serenity Rogers (women's 100-meter hurdles) enter the meet ranked second among SBC athletes in their respective events for Louisiana with Reagann Leleux ranked in the top-five in the SBC in both the women's 100-meter hurdles and pole vault.

Louisiana's Brock Appiah (men's 200-meters), Tyrell Hargrove (men's 400-meters) and Mixon (men's pole vault) are ranked in the top-five in their events among SBC competitors with Shonita Brome (women's 400-meter hurdles), Taylor Davis (women's high jump), Frankie Griffin (women's high jump), Emoni Coleman (women's 800-meters) and Osayi Omorodion (women's 100-meter hurdles) all scheduled to compete.

The meet is Louisiana's second of the outdoor season at LSU with the Ragin' Cajuns competing earlier this month at the Battle on the Bayou. Mixon recorded three top-five finishes, including an outdoor personal-best in the men's pole vault, while Omorodion posted a pair of second-place finishes. Coleman claimed the women's 800-meters for Louisiana with Rylan Theyard and the freshmen tandem of Tyren Hannah and Haley Salsbury each posting a pair of top-five performances.
