LAFAYETTE, La. - The third and final day of
competition for the ULM track team in the Sun Belt Conference Outdoor
Championships Sunday at the Ragin' Cajuns Track Facility was highlighted by the
first individual win of the meet by a Warhawk competitor.
Marcie Richard registered a season-best throw
of 43.43 meters to claim her second career conference championship in the women's
javelin over UL-Lafayette's Mayme Cook (43.41 m). Richard was the top ULM finisher in the event
three times during the outdoor season, as the senior also had the best Warhawk
throws at the Southern Miss Invitational (March 28) and the Golden Eagle
Classic (April 10).
Teona Glave ran a career-best 2:14.63 in the
800-meter dash to claim fourth place and five points toward ULM's team
total. Glave previously logged a 2:14.80
at the Leon Johnson Invitational April 6.
Richard McKay enjoyed a successful showing in
the men's javelin throw, posting a top attempt of 66.38 meters to finish in
third place. McKay also claimed third at
last season's Sun Belt Championships with a top throw of 67.43 meters.
Clint Broussard's season-high clearance of
6-11.00 in the high jump earned him a third place finish in the men's final. Broussard reached the winning height alongside
Troy's Larry Henry and UL-Lafayette's Sander Maes, with Henry ultimately taking
home the title.
The ULM men's 4 X 400
Relay team of Dimitri Hampton, Jestin Miller, Jamel Sams and Keyon Jones ran a
3:13.46 in the race final to finish in third place.
