Brazil's School-Record Leads Louisiana At LSU Bayou Bengal

BATON ROUGE – Jeryl Brazil established a new school-record in the men's indoor 60-meter dash, shattering his previous mark set two years ago, to lead the Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns track and field team on Friday at the LSU Bayou Bengal at Carl Maddox Field House.

Brazil, who set the record of 6.70 seconds in 2016 before posting a time of 6.71 in the season-opener last month at the LSU Purple Tiger, clocked a time of 6.55 seconds to post the second-fastest time in the country this season.

Brazil's mark was one of six top-five finishes for Louisiana, which was making one of its final tuneups before competing in the Sun Belt Conference Championships later this month in Birmingham, Ala.
