Apr 29, 2021 | Track & Field

NEW ORLEANS—The Tulane track and field team travels west on I-10 back to LSU for their final regular-season outdoor meet on Saturday, May 1.

The Green Wave will take on eight other teams at the LSU Invitational at The Bernie Moore Track Stadium.

The meet will kick off at 9:30 a.m. with the discus. The next field events will be the shot put at 11 a.m. and the high jump at 12:15 p.m. The javelin will follow at 12:30 p.m. and then the long jump at 1:15 p.m. Next up is the pole vault at 2 p.m., followed by the triple jump at 3 p.m. The hammer throw will conclude the field events at 3:30 p.m.

The first track event for the Green Wave will be the 4x100m relay at 12:30 p.m. Immediately after that will be the women's and then the men's 1500m run. The 100m hurdles will be next at 1:05 p.m., followed by the women's and then the men's 400m run. Then, the women's 800m run will begin 2:05 p.m., with the men shortly after. The 400m hurdles is up next at 2:25 p.m., leading to the women's and then the men's 200m run. Then the 3000m run for men will start up at 3:10 p.m., followed by the women. The 4x400m relay at 3:40 p.m. will conclude the afternoon and the final regular-season meet for the Green Wave.

This will make back-to-back meets at LSU for the Tulane track and field. The team contended in Baton Rouge two weeks ago for the LSU Boots Garland Invitational. At the meet, Tulane faced off strongly against 12 other schools.

Kyah Loyd will again be competing in the 100m hurdles, after an epic finish of 13.55 last meet. Nastja Modic will be back in the pole vault to try for another top five spot, after her 3.96m finish earned her third at LSU.

Tri Malej has stayed undefeated in the triple jump this season and looks to end the regular-season strong. Malej's current personal record in the triple jump is 13.28m and the Tulane all-time outdoor record.

The meet will not be streamed, but live results will be available.
