Anna LeBlanc, a junior at North Vermilion, is not afraid of a challenge. She thrives on it.
Last year when Abbeville and Erath had runners in the 100-meter hurdles, she knew she would probably never win because they were better hurdlers. Last track season she competed against Anne Marie Broussard of Abbeville and Troynae Walker of Erath, who were seniors that could fly over the hurdles. In all of those races, LeBlanc had to settle for third place.

The North Vermilion Patriot Relays will be held at Bill Gooch Track Complex at J.H. Williams Middle School in Abbeville.
Because work is being done on North Vermilion’s track, the meet had to be moved.
There will be 15 teams competing in the meet.
The field event begins at 3 p.m., and the running starts at 6 p.m.
Competing in the meet will be North Vermilion, Erath, Delcambre, Kaplan, Gueydan, VC, Abbeville, Church Point, Crowley, Notre Dame, Teurlings, Southside, ESA, Ascension Episcopal, and Breaux Bridge.

Gisclair was the winning pitcher for the Lady Bobcats. She allowed two hits and zero runs over five innings, striking out seven and walking one.
