THIBODAUX, La. – The Nicholls State University men's and women's track and field teams competed in the 37th Annual Victor Lopez Classic and the McNeese Springtime Classic, and both squads turned in program marks.
 
QUOTE FROM HEAD COACH STEFANIE SLEKIS
We have had two excellent meets with a nice two-week training block in between since our outdoor season kicked off at UL-Lafayette. We saw a lot of success across event groups between the two meets with multiple personals bests and four new Nicholls All-Time Top 10 Outdoor Performers marks. I am excited for us to compete Friday at Northwestern State against Southland competition where the Southland Conference Championships will take place in just three weeks."
