BATON ROUGE – The Louisiana track and field outdoor record book had a few more changes in the top 10 after the LSU Alumni Gold Invite in Baton Rouge on Saturday. The Ragin' Cajuns posted seven new top-10 scores and won one event in the highly competitive event.
Sophie Daigle started the day with a win in the women's 1,500 (4:30.61), which was her second lowest time of the season. Not to be outdone on the men's side, Louden Boudreaux placed third with a time of 3:51.88.
The Cajuns got second and third place finishes in the women's javelin by Maria Bienvenu and Marin Barras. Bienvenu took home the silver with a throw of 47.14 meters while Barras placed third with her throw of 44.38 meters. A week after earning Sun Belt Conference Women's Field Athlete of the Week, Jacqueline Pokuaah placed third in the triple jump with a distance of 12.82 meters.
They closed the day with second and third place finishes in the men's 3k. Jacob Marcinkus finished second (9:07.41) while Braden Scalisi was right behind him in third (9:08.41).
Barras' throw moved her into third all-time in the school record books. Jordan Brown is now third in the women's pole vault with her jump of 3.84 meters. Moseisha Bridgen (58.05) and Ta'La Spates continued their sensational spring and moved into second and third in program history in the women's 400 hurdles respectively.
They were also part of the women's 4x100-relay team that moved into seventh in school history with a time of 45.13. Kennedy London, who was also part of the team, clocked in at 13.32 seconds in the women's 100 hurdles, the fourth fastest time in school history. Ashley McMillin's discus throw (44.89 m) moved her to fifth all-time. Trejun Jones finished up the rewrites with his fourth-place finish in the men's 100 meter dash in 10.28 seconds.
