Erath’s Snooks Relays place to watch best-female high jumper

ERATH - An elite track and field athlete does not come around Vermilion Parish too often .
In the last 20 years - the parish has watched greatness only twice and both were by male performers.
In 2008, spectators came watch Barrett Nugent of North Vermilion run the hurdle races (110-and 300-meter hurdles) and the 100- and 200-meter dashes. He never disappointed.
Two years ago, the parish once again saw greatness with Gabe Clement of Kaplan, who ran amazing times in the 400 meter runs.
