History was made in Tennessee.
Louisiana Tech’s track and field teams finished their second indoor competition of the season with several top finishes this past weekend at the Vanderbilt Invitational.
Tech had eight Top 10 finishes by both the men and women. Gregory Ballard started things off great at the invitational by setting a new Louisiana Tech record in the men’s pole vault Friday night. He finished sixth overall with a mark of 16-0.75 (4.90m), which broke a school record that stood for over 30 years.
Tamario Lattin also had an impressive weekend for LA Tech by recording three Top 10 finishes in three separate events, including finishing as high as second place in the men’s long jump on Friday with a mark of 24-6.
