Track & Field: Roy Wins Again, Simmons Regionally Qualifies

Baton Rouge, La. – Louisiana’s Ragin’ Cajuns competed at the LSU
Alumni Gold meet this past weekend in Baton Rouge, La. The meet
featured several past Olympians and some of the best runners in the
nation. UL’s Chris Roy again won the pole vault. He won the meet with
a height of 5.25m which came up just short of the school record.

Breshaud Woodard finished fourth in men’s 110m hurdles. He was the
highest finisher for the Cajuns the track events. He was the third
best finisher as far as college runners were concerned.

The highest finisher for the women was Taryn Simmons who finished
fourth in the 400m hurdles. Her time of 1:00.04 was good enough to
qualify for the NCAA Regionals.

The Cajuns will be back in action next weekend at the NSU Invitational
Saturday in Natchitoches, La.
