BATON ROUGE, La. – The Southeastern Louisiana Track and Field team earned six personal bests and four victories Friday at the Louisiana Invitational Indoor Meet at Carl Maddox Field House.

Thomas Nedow, Thomas Daigle, Parker McBride and Lara Zupanc and Terrell Webb set personal high marks for SLU on the day while McBride, Nedow, Agerian Jackson and Kristian Jackson won their respective events.

Friday's meet was hosted by LSU while Southeastern, Grambling, UL Lafayette, ULM, Louisiana Tech, McNeese, New Orleans, Nicholls and Southern also competed.

Nedow, a junior, won the shot put event with a throw of 54 feet, 0.5 inches (16.47m). The Brockville, Canada native also set a high mark in the weight throw, 51-9.25 (15.78m).
Webb, a sophomore, also set a personal best in the weight throw of 48-0.75 (14.65m).

McBride, a junior, and Daigle, a sophomore, each had their best runs of their careers in the one-mile. McBride, from Dutchtown, Louisiana, won the event with a time of 4:18.21 breaking his personal best by nearly four seconds. Daigle, out of Belle Rose, Louisiana ran 4:21.85.

Lions' newcomer Agerian Jackson won the 600m finishing in 1:22.67. The sophomore transfer from Butler Community College is expected to be a vital piece of the 4x400 team as well.

On the women's side Zupanc, who finished sixth in the Southland Conference Indoor Championships in the pole vault, set a high mark in the event Friday. The sophomore finished with a mark of 11-11.75 (3.65m).

Also for the women, junior Kristian Jackson won the shot put with a throw of 48-8 (14.83m).

"It was really exciting to come away from the meet with such a strong showing," said SLU track and field head coach Corey Mistretta. "We are using these early season meets to knock some rust off after being away from competition for so long because of COVID. So when we can still come away with a handful of personal bests and another handful of victories, it's a sign we are moving in the right direction. I'm looking forward to having a couple of weeks to put some really good training in before get we back to action."

Southeastern will compete again Friday, Feb. 19 at the LSU Twilight in Baton Rouge.
