LAS CRUCES, N.M. – New Mexico State track and field and cross country head coach Orin Richburg has announced his retirement after nine seasons coaching the Aggies.
"We certainly appreciate the time that Orin Richburg dedicated as the Aggie Cross Country and Track and Field head coach," said Director of Athletics Mario Moccia. "His student-athletes did tremendous in the classroom and were great examples in the community in his tenure. From an athletic standpoint, we saw positive strides and great individual accomplishment in conference, regional and national competition during his tenure. It is widely known that of the 17 sports that we sponsor, track and field has the most difficult situation, without the ability to compete at home.
