Boudreaux scores 32.5 out of Erath’s 106 points at Cashen

DELCAMBRE - Erath junior Dax Boudreaux may pull off something very few athletes have done in high school sports - run the table, literally.
Boudreaux, who has yet to lose at 1,600 meters this track season, added another win Friday night when he claimed the win in his signature event at the Cashen Relays.
Boudreaux won the 1600 race in five minutes and three seconds. He followed that victory with a win in the 800 and 3200-meter races. Plus, he ran a leg in the winning 4x800 meter relay race (9:08) with Lawson Boudreaux, Braxton Bright, and Cameron Soirez.
Boudreaux scored 32.5 of Erath’s team total of 106 points as the Bobcats won the Cashen Relays, beating second place and district rival Kaplan, who finished second with 81 points.
Host Delcambre finished fourth with 75 points, Abbeville finished 8th with 37 points, and Gueydan was 11th with 6 points.
Boudreaux won the Outstanding Performer Award at the meet.
“In the 1600, you have to come out pretty hard, then relax on two laps, and then on that last lap, you have to kick it in,” Boudreaux said. “The plan is to keep on going and keep on winning to the state meet. I want to go undefeated in the event this year.”
While Boudreaux’s four-event feat was impressive, it was rivaled by Kaplan’s Kennedy Marceaux, who had her track debut this season.
