With the conference championships in less than two weeks, Lobo track and field team continued to make progress this Friday and Saturday at Longhorn Invitational in Austin, Texas.
“This was an excellent meet for our group of 18 athletes that competed,” UNM assistant coach Rich Ceronie said in a release. “They all made significant progress in the Mountain West rankings.”
Although New Mexico did not send its full team to Texas, the small pack participation still finished with a fifth place (53 points) for the men and an eighth place (28 points) for the women.
Head coach Joe Franklin said earlier on Tuesday the athletes needed to make sure they would make steps towards the conference lists.
