Track and field: Lobos host Don Kirby Invitational, eying big competitions
“We want to make progress, get some people slowly climbing the ladder on the conference rankings, and get prepared for the conference championships.”
Joe Franklin, head coach of the New Mexico track and field team, had that to say on Tuesday, leading up to the Lobos’ fourth straight home meet of the season.
New Mexico will host the Don Kirby Invitational this Friday and Saturday at the Albuquerque Convention Center.
The goal for the team for the last home meet before the Mountain West Championships is an obvious one — post as many qualifying marks as possible.
Doing so could be a challenge as the field is expected to be the largest the Lobos have participated in this season.
