Oakdale track begins the indoor season at McNeese
The Oakdale track team under the guidance of head coach Michael Deville kicked off its indoor season with a meet at McNeese on Saturday.
"It was a good experience for young kids," Deville said. "A couple of them had stage fright. Hunter Longino finished fourth, and Garrett Kingan was sixth in shot put out of 20 competitors. James Evins finished eighth in the 55-meter dash, but his first heat time was third overall for qualifying time. Jondasha Davis tied for third in long jump at 16'5" and fourteenth in the 55-meter dash."
Hunter Longino recored a distance of 42'7" in shot put coming in behind Johnny Howell of All American Track, Landon King of Pineville, and Jonathan Crawford of Buckeye. "It felt good to compete and to get back into track," said the sophomore. "But I was a little rusty, but I think the next track meet will be better."
Fredrick Terrell came in at fifth place in the Triple Jump at 32'5" and ran 10.34 in the prelims of the 55-Meter Hurdles. Garrett Kingan finished seventh in the Shot Put at 41'3", and Travian Daily came in two spots behind at 39'8". Phillip Poullard in the finals of the Boys Long Jump finished sixteenth at 17'1". Oakdale as a team ran 1:41.80 to come in 13th in the Boys 4X200 Meter Relays.
On the girls' side, Annisha Moton finished ninth in the Triple Jump finals at 30'9". Coriana Moreaux joined her teammate Jondasha Davis in placing in the Long Jump finals with 15-feet. Moreaux also placed sixth in High Jump with a mark of 4'9". Shadiamond Johnson placed 21st in the Girls 400-Meters running 1:07.96. The girls had two teams in the 4X200-Meter Relays  that finished 11th and 12th places.
The next indoor meet is at LSU on January 21 before returning to McNeese a week later. On February 4 is the LSU Last Chance, and the State Indoor Meet is February 18 back at LSU.
