Lake Charles College Prep's Kalen Antoine won the 300-meter hurdles in 40.04 seconds on Monday, April 28, 2025, at the Region 3A-II track and field championship at McNeese State University. (Rodrick Anderson / American Press) Big points in the field events staked Lake Charles College Prep to an early lead to claim the boys team title at Region 3A-II track and field championships on Monday at McNeese State. LCCP finished with 124 points, while defending Class 3A state champion Glen Oaks was the runner-up with 79 points. The Trailblazers scored 42 points between the high, long and triple jump and led the rest of the field by 22 points before the running events started. Cameron Brazzle and Braylen White (45-3) went 1-2 in the triple jump. Brazzle's career-best jump of 45 feet, 7 ¼ inches moved to the top of the Class 3A rankings. Jaiven Matthews won the high jump with a height of 6-2, while Jordan Dugas was third at 6 feet. William Plaster took third in the long jump (21-9). The Trailblazers went into cruise control on the track. They scored a combined 60 points in the 100-meter dash, 4×200 relay, 4×100 relay, 400 and 300 hurdles to build an insurmountable lead on Glen Oaks to win its second consecutive regional title. Ayden Carter won the 100 with a career-best 10.62-second run, while Kalen Antoine won the 300 hurdles in 40.04. LCCP won the 4×100 (42.57) and 4×200 (1:28.27) relays led by Kai Fontenot, Braylen White, Derrick White and Carter. On the girls side, St. Louis Catholic placed third or better in all four relay events and Hannah Boullion won the 200 (24.93) and 400 dash (56.42), but it wasn't enough to stop Parkview Baptist from winning its second consecutive team title. Parkview scored 107 points, while St. Louis Catholic finished with 89.5. Boullion's win the 400 gave the Saints a 4.5 point lead over the Eagles, but over the next two events – the 300 hurdles and 800 run – Parkview made a 20-point swing to take the lead. The key was a 1-2 finish in the 800 by Lucy Cramer (2:17.44) and Georgia Theriot (2:18.13). South Beauregard's Cebrina Scarlett moved up to No. 2 in Class 3A in the 100 dash with a time of 12.07 seconds.
