HATTIESBURG, Miss. – Southern Miss had one individual place second and another qualify for an event final Thursday evening at the Sun Belt Conference Outdoor Track and Field Championships in Monroe, La., before rain postponed six events until later this weekend.
Kaya Ludgood came in second in the men's hammer throw with a heave of 60.73 meters, while Emme Bates qualified for Saturday's 1500-meter final with a time of 4:39.80 in a limited schedule of events.
