Elizabeth White started Saturday’s Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Invitational with a bang and the New Mexico women’s 4×400-meter relay squad ended it with a school record to highlight the Lobos’ first home indoor meet at the Albuquerque Convention Center.
“The meet started off fantastic with Lizzie,” said UNM head coach Joe Franklin. “When you win any event in college, that is tough to do.”
Coming inches shy of the school record in her first meet, White won the long jump with a leap of 6.22 meters (20′ 5″). The Lobo newcomer was just off Aasha Marler’s school record of 6.
