Ladipo won the men's 400-meter race in 47.56 seconds, one second ahead of Karri Noel from XULA. The Brazilian's time is the sixth-fastest in school history and moves him to fourth on UNO's all-time performance list. It's also among the top 50 times in the South Region this season.
Turner made it back-to-back event wins for the UNO men after clocking a 10.64 in the men's 100-meter dash on Saturday afternoon. His time was almost two-tenths of a second faster than second-place finisher Christian Aikens.
Tronchon was the third Privateer winner at the Strawberry Relays. The sophomore looked well on her way to setting a new personal best before stumbling over the last hurdle. She was able to recover and finish just ahead of Ava-Claire Calais from
Nicholls in 1:07.32. Saturday afternoon marked back-to-back 400-meter hurdles victories in Hammond for Tronchon after winning the same event at the Any Theil Season Opener in March.
