Cherubin, the silver medalist in the men’s 110-meter hurdles at the Sun Belt Conference Championships, earned honorable mention All-America honors for Louisiana after finishing 20th overall in the 110-hurdles at last month’s NCAA Division I Outdoor Track and Field Championships. Cherubin qualified for the national meet after recording a school-record time (13.65) to finish 12th overall at the NCAA Division I East Preliminary in Jacksonville, Fla.
Fergusson claimed top honors in the men’s 400-meter hurdles at the SBC Championships in May and qualified for the NCAA Division I East Preliminary. Fergusson posted the fifth-best time (51.47) in the 400-meter hurdles in Ragin’ Cajuns history this season at LSU’s Battle on the Bayou.
