NATCHITOCHES, La. – With another strong podium finish, the Ladyjacks recaptured the lead to close out day two of the 2019 Southland Conference Outdoor Championships on Saturday inside Walter P. Ledet Track Complex in Natchitoches. On Sunday, both teams will look to earn major points and wrap up both outdoor titles. Through a series of strong performances in the preliminaries on Saturday, both SFA teams have set themselves up to grow their scores in tomorrow's finale.
After SFA briefly lost the lead following the women's shot put event, Brittany Innis and Taryn Surratt finished second and third, respectively, in the last scored women's event of the day, earning 14 points for the Ladyjacks to vault them back ahead of Abilene Christian with 65 team points. ACU sits in second place with 62 points, followed by host Northwestern State with 50 points.
The SFA men moved up to a tie for sixth place with 19 points thanks to a fourth-place finish from Kevin Steward in the shot put, a fifth-place finish in the men's decathlon from Conner Wilbur, and a pair of seventh-place finishes by Erick Rotich (3000m steeplechase) and Tanner Parks (Decathlon). SFA trails Sam Houston State (47 points), Abilene Christian (37 points), host Northwestern State (32 points) and Lamar (26 points) with plenty of points still up in the air on the final day of action.
A large part of Saturday's schedule included the prelims of the running events, for which the finals will take place tomorrow. A total of 11 athletes qualified for the finals of events to take place on Sunday, including five dual-qualifiers. In addition, the finals of the men's javelin, women's discus, men's high jump, men's pole vault, men's discus, women's high jump and both the 4x100 and 4x400 meter relays will take place tomorrow.
Competition resumes tomorrow morning at 10:00 a.m with the men's javelin, followed by the start of the running events at noon. Fans can take in all the action via the Southland Digital Network, and can follow live results of each event via the results link on the sfajacks.com schedule page.
