Meigs sets Loyola program record in men's 3,000-meter steeplechase

JACKSON, Miss. — Connor Meigs won the men's 3,000-meter steeplechase in a Loyola University New Orleans track and field new-era record of 9 minutes, 47.55 seconds Saturday at the Belhaven Invitational.
 

Meigs broke teammate Jace Luckoski's previous mark of 9:55.78 from the Mississippi College Spring Classic two weeks ago.
 

Loyola produced two other first-place finishes. Jordyn Minor won the women's 100-meter dash in 12.09 seconds, and Jacob Kennedy won the men's 5,000 in 16:03.04.
 

Minor's time entered the Loyola new-era record book at No. 3. The junior from Baton Rouge, La., has the Wolf Pack's six fastest times in the women's 100, including a record 12.05 at the 2025 Southern States Athletic Conference Championships.  
 

New-era records began in 1996.
 

Also entering the record book were:

• The men's 4x400 relay team of Ollie Brumfield IV, Landon Dixon, Caleb Curry and Jermaine McGhee, No. 2 with 3:14.07. That's a B-qualifying mark for NAIA nationals.

• Richard Magann, No. 2 in the men's discus with 40.33 meters/132 feet, 3 inches; No. 4 in the shot put with 12.02 meters/39 feet, 5 1/4 inches; and No. 5 in the hammer with 38.12 meters/125 feet, 0 inches. Magann was top five in all three events at Belhaven.

• Jace Luckoski, No. 2 in the men's 1,500 with 4:01.50.

• Jenna Galeas, No. 2 in the women's triple jump with 11.22 meters/36 feet, 9 3/4 inches. She placed second at Belhaven. 

• The men's 4x100 relay team of Jermaine McGhee, Ollie Brumfield, Caleb Curry and Jaden Thomas, No. 2 with 41.33.

It was the third meet of the outdoor season for the Loyola men and the second for the Wolf Pack women. Next for both teams will be the Carl Knight Invite April 2-3 at Nacogdoches, Texas. NCAA Division I Stephen F. Austin is the host.
