February 20-21, Houston

HOUSTON, Texas – Stephen F. Austin State University tried to dethrone Texas State, but the Bobcats prevailed to win their third consecutive men’s and women’s Southland Conference indoor track and field championships here on Saturday. The Texas State women took home their sixth all-time team title while the men were crowned champion for the fourth time in school history.

Texas State compiled 128 points while the Ladyjacks finished with 95.67. Texas-San Antonio was third with 84, Sam Houston State fourth with 81.5 and Texas-Arlington fifth with 68.5.

On the men’s side, SFA finished 24.5 points (119.5-95) behind Texas State for second place. SHSU was third with 93, Texas-Arlington fourth with 69 and Northwestern State rounded out the top five with 68.5 points.

Individually, Lajuana Lovett of Texas State was the high-point scorer with 38.5 points, a Southland Conference meet record. The senior from Hephzibah, Ga., who was the defending athlete of the year in the conference, won the 60-meter dash in 7.47, the 200-meter dash with a time of 24.52 and was on the winning 4X400-meter relay team that ran a time of 3:47.60 to set a meet record. She also finished second in the long and triple jumps with marks of 42-01.25 and 19-06.00, respectively.

There was a three-way tie for the men’s high-point total between Texas State’s Raheem Travis, UTSA’s Justin Youngblood and Sam Houston State’s Courtney Boston as they each scored 20.5 points. Travis won the 400-meters in a time of 48.28 and finished second in the 200 with a mark of 22.00 and was on the winning 4X400-meter relay team which clocked a 3:18.47.

Youngblood took first place in the heptathlon with 5,483 points, provisionally qualifying him for the NCAA Indoor Track and Field championships next month. He was just 17 points shy of an automatic qualifying mark. He was also fifth in the long jump (23-03.25), fifth in the 60-meter hurdles (8.22) and sixth in the high jump (6-07.60).
