LEXINGTON, Ky. – Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns sprinter Hanoj Carter qualified for next month's NCAA Track and Field Championships in the men's 100-meter dash and moved a step closer to advancing in the 200-meters after the second day of the NCAA Division I East Preliminary on Friday at the UK Track and Field Complex.
The final day of competition begins on Saturday with Louisiana's Ricky Theyard, the Sun Belt Conference champion in the men's triple jump, scheduled to compete at 2 p.m. CT. Live results and live video for the three-day meet is available at RaginCajuns.com.
Sun Belt Conference high jump champion Dionte Heath and freshman Damon Guidry will compete for Louisiana at 5 p.m., with Carter slated to compete in the quarterfinals of the 200-meter dash at 6:50 p.m.
