Weather won't be a problem at LSU this weekend but Garvey believes the indoor track will handicap the team. The outdoor tracks are usually 400 meters. It's much harder. You have to run different events and it's harder to pass other runners. According to Garvey, indoor tracks were developed due to northern climates.
Cold weather freezes the ground and the track, limiting a runner's ability.
Garvey is looking forward to getting a glimpse of his team in warmer weather. There is no need to rush into it. Along with Loyola and LSU, McNeese State, UNO, Southeastern, University of Louisiana-Lafayette and a few junior colleges will be competing. It will show us how we do in southern Louisiana competition.
