Nelson clinched Second Team All-American honors in the triple jump at the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championships, leaping 50-8.75/15.46 to finish 15th overall. He became the first Ragin' Cajun to earn All-American recognition in the event since 2004. “So I was the last jumper in the flight,” Nelson recalled.

SCOTT — The LSU Shreveport baseball team accomplished what no other program at any level of the sport has done: finish a season undefeated. The Pilots capped off a historic 59-0 campaign by defeating Southeastern 13-7 last Friday to claim the NAIA National Championship. Among the driving forces behind the title run was Acadiana alumnus Ian Montz, who launched a pivotal go-ahead home run in the sixth inning of the championship game. “This is awesome.
