UL is historically a track school. Not so much the last decade, though we are moving in the right direction again. I would have to check the records, but the Cajuns have had more All Americans in track than in all other sports combined, may 70-80 total; including at least 3 Olympians and 1 American record holder in Hollis Conway. UL is also the only school to ever sweep both relays on the men's side in the Drake Relays.

1500 meters, not 10k. Still as badass regardless.
