LAFAYETTE – The Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns Track and Field team goes back to nearly full-squad action beginning on Saturday when it travels to Baton Rouge to compete in LSU's Battle on the Bayou at Bernie Moore Track Stadium.

The meet is the first of four during the month of April for Louisiana, which returns to action after a solid showing at the Clyde Littlefield Texas Relays.

Smith will compete in the women's 100-meter hurdles, long jump and javelin while Cecchetti will compete in the 100-meter hurdles and high jump and long jump.

Kiana Foster, the No. 2-ranked sprinter among Sun Belt Conference athletes in the women's 200-meter dash, will look to improve her standing with Emoni Coleman (women's 800-meters) and Shonita Brome (women's 400-meter hurdles) ranked fifth in the SBC in their respective events.

Nathan Fergusson will look to build on his SBC top-ranked time (52.79) in the men's 400-meter hurdles for Louisiana while the tandem of Rylan Theyard and John Joseph are ranked second and third in the SBC in the men's triple jump.
