NEW ORLEANS – After breaking a 28-year-old school record and claiming first-place honors at the Texas Relays, Louisiana Ragin' Cajuns Track and Field member Claire Meyers was selected as the Sun Belt Conference Women's Field Athlete of the Week, the conference office announced on Thursday.
Meyers set a school record and claimed first-place honors in the women's javelin at the 93rd Clyde Littlefield Texas Relays after her throw of 163 feet, 9 inches on her second attempt eclipsed the Ragin' Cajuns school record of 160-1 set by Dorsey Steamer in 1993.
