Loyola track and field competes Friday

NEW ORLEANS – The Loyola University New Orleans men's and women's track and field teams competed for the first time in 2026 on Friday, with six members from the two teams in New Orleans' City Park. It was the second meet of the 2025-26 indoor season as well.

Jaden Thomas took part in the two jump events - the long and triple jumps. Hs placed third in the long jump with a mark of 6.60 meters, 0.5 shy of also breaking into the Top 5 for the program. His fourth-place effort of 12.10 meters in the triple jump was a half-meter away from a Top 5 position in the program's record book as well. 
 

The Loyola tri of Meera Hijazi (12:20.64), Emma Meneses (12:26.83) and Sela Myers (12:55.14) finished 1-2-3 in the 3,000-meter run, and Tenosh Landry ran a 27.12 in the 200 meters to place fourth. Landry's time was a half-second off from a Top 5 placement in the women's record book.
