Brumfield sets Loyola new-era record in men's 400-meter dash

HAMMOND, La. — Ollie Brumfield IV set a Loyola University New Orleans new-era record in the men's 400-meter dash Saturday at Southeastern Louisiana University's Andy Thiel Season Opener.

Brumfield's time was 47.93 seconds, and he placed second out of 11 runners. Dallas Hughes set the previous Wolf Pack mark of 48.60 at the 2025 Southern States Athletic Conference Championships.
 

New-era records began in 1996.
 

Loyola's men and women combined for 23 top-five finishes, including four victories. Vivian Bravo won the women's 5,000 (21:56.96), Jace Luckoski won the men's 1,500 (4:03.00), Connor Meigs won the men's 5,000 (15:51.79), and the men's 4x800 relay team of Dylan Brown, Aubrey Gibson, Adam Merkle and Daniel Miller won in 8:55.13.
 

Luckoski defeated 18 others, eight from NCAA Division I, and won for the second time in as many outdoor meets during the 2026 season. He was the 3,000 steeplechase champion at the MC Spring Classic a week ago.
 

Brumfield had one of six marks to enter the Loyola men's record book. Luckoski moved his personal bests from No. 4 to No. 3 in the 1,500, Meigs is No. 4 in the 1,500, Jaden Thomas tied for fifth in the high jump (1.83 meters/6 feet, zero inches), and Richard Magann's marks is No. 2 in the hammer (38.99 meters) and No. 3 in the discus (40.80 meters).  
 

It was the second meet of the outdoor season for the Loyola men and the first for the Wolf Pack women. Both Loyola teams will compete next Saturday in the Belhaven Invitational at Jackson, Miss. That meet will start at 10 a.m. at Belhaven University.
