VC Lady Eagles will compete in multiple events at Class A state meet on Thursday

The Vermilion Catholic Lady Eagles’ track team will be competing in different events at this week’s Class A State Track Meet at LSU.
Heading to the state track meet on the boys’ team is Luke McLain in the javelin.
The Class A state meet is Thursday at LSU’s Track Complex.
Two Lady Eagles will be competing in four events at state.
Senior Zoei Thibodeaux qualified to run in the 100-meter hurdles and 300-meter hurdles,, and she is a member of the 4x100 and 4x200-meter relay teams heading to state.
Thibodeaux finished second in last week’s regional meet in the 100-meter hurdles (16.34) and third in the 300-meter hurdles (49.44).
Freshman sensation Kelsey Bomersbach is heading back to Baton Rouge for the second straight year. Bomerbach won the 100-meter hurdles in a record time of 14.57 seconds. It was her personal best time and marked the fastest time ever run by a Vermilion Parish female in the 100 hurdles. She now ranks No. 1 on the parish’s All-Time track list, ahead of Erath’s Troynae Walker of Erath, who ran a 14.78 in 2017.
Bomersbach also now holds the VC school record in the 100 hurdles, breaking Keeyada Robinson’s 14.80 time set in 1992.
The crazy thing is that Bomersbach is not the youngest Lady Eagle competing at state. That honor belongs to eighth grader Claire Trahan. Trahan qualified to run at state in the 400-meter run and is a member of the 4x100- and 4x200-meter relays.
Trahan won the 400-meter race at regionals with a time of 1:02.62.
Members of the winning 4x100-meter team are Khloe Eckelberger, Thibodeaux, Trahan, and Bomersbach. They ran a time of 50.90 seconds.
The same girls won the 4x200-meter race in 1:48.32, four seconds faster than the second-place team.
McLain threw the javelin 173-8 to finish third at regionals. The top throw was 202-9 by Grand Lake’s Justin Lobove.
