BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – It was quite the conference debut for the trio of Hannes Burger, Reagann Leleux and Shalei Matthews.
The trio each claimed individual titles and helped the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns track and field team to its best performance in recent years as the 2019 Sun Belt Conference Indoor Track and Field Championships wrapped up on Tuesday at the Birmingham Crossplex.
On the men's side, Louisiana rebounded from a disappointing finish a year ago, finishing fourth overall in the nine-team field with 82 points. The Ragin' Cajuns women's team, bolstered by individual titles from Leleux and Matthews coupled with a third-place performance from Kimmie Rushford, secured its best finish since 2015, finishing eighth overall with 50 points in the 12-team field.
