In his first season with the Trojans, Lukasko helped coach Hayley Watts, Troy’s first female pole vaulter to score at the Sun Belt Championships. Three Trojans qualified for the NCAA First Round and two were junior national qualifiers under his tutelage, while several others earned All-Sun Belt Conference accolades.
