Heimerman earns LSWA All-Louisiana Women’s Coach of the Year, NSU represented in 13 events
NATCHITOCHES, La. (KALB) – Leading the Northwestern State women’s track and field team to a pair of Southland Conference titles, including its first ever outdoor conference championship, earned head coach Mike Heimerman the LSWA All-Louisiana Women’s Coach of the Year, which was announced Saturday.
Heimerman, who fell one vote shy of taking home the All-Louisiana Coach of the Year last season, led a total of 16 women’s athletes or relay teams that made the outdoor All-Conference, including four on the first team and seven more on the second team.
In the past two years, he has led the NSU women to two indoor team titles and the first outdoor team title in program history this season, as well as a second-place finish.
In addition to Heimerman’s superlative honor, NSU also captured 12 spots in individual events and one each on all four relay teams.
Zachaeus Beard, Sanaria Butler and Djimon Gumbs all earned spots on the All-Louisiana team in multiple individual events.
NSU placed the most athletes on the All-Louisiana team outside of LSU.
Beard, who reached the semifinals in the 100-meter dash at the U.S. Olympic trials, grabs a spot on the second team in the 200-meter dash and third team in the 100.
To earn a second team selection in the 200, he clocked a 20.48 at the SLC Outdoor meet to capture the silver.
In his signature event, the First Team All-American ran an impressive 10.03—adjusted for wind—at the Corky/Crofoot Shootout to win the event and post the best time in the conference this season.
Beard also was a member of both relay teams, which both earned second team spots, only behind LSU.
In the 4×100, the quartet of Beard, Cyrus Jacobs, Keontae Gaines and Mikkel Johansson collected a spot at nationals in Oregon on the strength of a 39.25 at regionals in Kentucky and also earned them a spot on the All-Louisiana Second Team.
Beard, Jacobs, Desmond Duncan and Jaysaun Smith also made the second team in the men’s 4×400 relay team, clocking a 3:08.27 at the conference championships.
Like Beard, Sanaria Butler also made the team in multiple individual events as well as both relay teams.
She ran a school-record 52.09 at the NCAA East Regionals in the 400-meter dash, which earned her a spot on the second team.
Butler collected a spot on the third team in the long jump, posting a 20-5.25 at the Bobcat Invitational.
The sensational sophomore also led the NSU women’s 4×400 relay team to a Second Team All-American selection and spot on Second Team All-Louisiana. The team of Butler, Maygan Shaw, Tranasia Jones and Vanessa Balde smashed the school record, running a 3:29.22 to earn a spot at nationals and a spot on the All-Louisiana team.
Butler, along with Shaw, Balde and Lynell Washington collected a spot on the second team in the 4×100 relay after running a 44.43 in front of the home crowd at the Leon Johnson Invitational.
Gumbs’ record-breaking season earned him a pair of first team honors, including one of two NSU athletes to make the first team, which he did in the shot put.
In the event, Gumbs tossed a school-record 66-7 at the Corky/Crofoot Shootout, which earned him the top spot in the conference and the state this season.
Not only did he post a terrific performance at the Corky/Crofoot Shootout in the shot put, he did so in the discus as well at the meet.
Gumbs claimed a third team selection in the discus, tossing a 186-3.
The NSU athlete other than Gumbs to earn a first team selection is senior pole vaulter Madison Brown, who cleared 13-4.25 at the Corky/Crofoot Shootout.
She is joined on the team by friend and teammate Annemarie Broussard, who claimed third in the pole vault, clearing 12-11.5, also recorded at the Corky/Crofoot Shootout.
Joining Butler as an NSU athlete on the All-Louisiana team in the 400 is Shaw, who clocked a 52.59 at the Leon Johnson Invitational on the home track.
Gumbs was not the only member of his family to make the team, as he was joined by twin brother Diamante Gumbs in the discus.
Diamante earned some bragging rights, as he claimed second team to Djimon’s third team in the discus. Diamante launched a 195-2 at the NCAA East Regional in Kentucky, which punched his ticket to Eugene and nationals.
On the women’s side, Kaitlyn Washington also made All-Louisiana in the discus, earning third place with a toss of 170-2 at the LSU Alumni Gold.
In the shot put, Shakera Williams placed second in the state, thrilling the home crowd at the Leon Johnson Invitational, tossing a 48-11.5.
LSU either won or tied eight of the 10 superlative awards, including all five on the men’s side.

Two more candidates join Baton Rouge and Lafayette state Senate races on day 2 of qualifying
Two more candidates qualified on Wednesday to run for open seats in the Louisiana Senate.
One of the vacancies is to represent District 14 in Baton Rouge and the other is to represent District 23 in Lafayette.
Carolyn Hill signed up to run in Baton Rouge on the second of the three-day qualifying period, which closes Thursday afternoon. She is running as a Democrat.
Hill, 42, has a career in policy social work and currently works for East Baton Rouge Parish Schools. She also founded and owns Hill and Hills Associates, a political consulting firm that supports candidates running for office.
In 2011, she won a race to represent District 8 on the state Board of Elementary and Secondary Education. She lost a 2015 bid for reelection to BESE.
In Lafayette, Republican Jesse Regan formally qualified to run for state Senate.
Regan was elected to represent District 3 on the Broussard City Council in 2019. He won reelection in 2022.
Regan is a mortgage lender at Preferred Lending Solutions. He also co-founded DJD Development Group and co-owns Madison Banquet & Reception Centre in Broussard, according to an online biography.
The candidates who signed up Wednesday join four others who qualified Tuesday.
Democrats Quentin Anthony Anderson and state Rep. Larry Selders qualified in Baton Rouge, and Republican state Rep. Brach Myers and Kristopher Harrison, who is running unaffiliated, qualified in Lafayette.
Marvin Gene Mearns, of Mandeville, a longtime editor of The Baton Rouge Advocate, New Orleans Times-Picayune and Houma Daily Courier, died Dec. 21, 2024.
He was 86.
Beloved for his steady and gentle mentorship of generations of Louisiana journalists, Mearns began his 50-year career in journalism covering the state Capitol for United Press International following his graduation from LSU.
After he was drafted and served in the U.S. Army, Mearns returned to Louisiana newspapers. He worked during different points in his career as the St. Bernard/Plaquemines bureau chief for The Times Picayune/The States-Item, as the executive editor of the Daily Courier and as an editor of suburban and metro news for The Advocate.
Born Feb. 21, 1938, in Lake Charles, Mearns lived for many years in Houma and New Orleans and later Baton Rouge. Wherever he was, he remained a fixture in the newsroom, his family said, even after Hurricane Katrina displaced him in 2005.
Mearns, who went by his middle name “Gene,” was an exacting wordsmith with rare editing skills. He could refine reporters’ copy with strong, precise verbs and concise phrases but keep his own fingerprints hidden, retaining the style of the writer.
A calming voice for reporters facing imminent nighttime deadlines, Mearns also exceled at seeing the long view, often giving journalists nudges to dig beneath the daily story.
“Gene had a good nose for stories and a wonderful rapport with his reporters,” said Fred Kalmbach, managing editor for The Advocate. “He also was a great writing coach, with a penchant for sniffing out and eliminating cliches.”
Dr. Micah Hatchett, Mearns’ stepdaughter, said he was a wonderful father and grandfather who gave her the same training in writing that he had given so many young journalists.
Hatchett said journalism and writing were among the “biggest loves” of his life.
“He read the paper every day until the day he died, so that’s the kind of man he was,” she said.
Mearns is survived by his wife, Bridgid Hirt Mearns; Hatchett and her husband, Jesse; and grandchildren, Brice Hatchett, and Luke Hatchett. He is also survived by his siblings and many extended family members and friends.
Services will be held privately at a later date.

Louisiana high school teacher framed by female students for ‘inappropriate messages’ they actually sent: police
Two Louisiana high school students have been charged with fabricating “inappropriate messages” they claimed were sent to them by a teacher to frame him as a sexual predator.
The Lafourche Parish Sheriff’s Office said they launched an investigation on Dec. 18 after two female students at Central Lafourche High School in Mathews — about 45 miles southwest of New Orleans –claimed an unidentified male teacher had sent them X-rated messages.
However, a two-week-long investigation soon revealed that the 15 and 16-year-old students had fabricated the conversations on an online instant messaging platform.
Detectives obtained a search warrant for the girls’ electronic devices and shockingly found that the teacher had not sent any messages to them and that they had created an online profile for him to make it appear that he was having risqué conversations with them.
The students would share screenshots of the phony conversations and share them with friends to make their con seem legitimate, the Lafourche Parish Sheriff’s Office said.
Investigators then determined the teacher was not the predator, as the girls claimed, but was the victim of a serious accusation.
When confronted by the findings, one of the students allegedly admitted to having been involved in framing the educator, police said.
“Our juvenile detectives are diligent and take claims of inappropriate behavior very seriously. They are, however, equally serious about false claims,” Sheriff Craig Webre said.
“Someone’s life can be instantly ruined by a false allegation and I am proud that our investigators were able to get to the bottom of this.”
The girls, who have not been named due to their age, were charged with one count each of false swearing for the purpose of violating public health or safety, cyberstalking, and online impersonation on Monday, according to police.
“Technology has made it very easy for people to try to manipulate the truth, but technology also makes it easy for investigators to ultimately find the truth,” Webre said.
The superintendent of Lafourche Parish School District, Jarod Martin, said he was “shocked and appalled” after hearing one of his teachers was framed and nearly lost his livelihood over the serious, yet fake, allegations.
The superintendent condemned the attack on the teacher and criticized the students’ alleged blatant attempt to ruin his “credibility and reputation.”
“We are committed to investigating all allegations of misconduct in order to provide a safe environment conducive to learning and working for all of our students and staff.”
