Track and Field: Lobos' season only getting better

Robert Maler | February 15

A handful of Lobos set personal and school records, while a former Olympian set a new track record at the Don Kirby Invitational over the weekend. Georganne Moline, who finished fifth in the 2012 Olympics in the 400 meter hurdle, competed in the women’s 600 meter run on Friday. The extra 200 meters didn’t seem to faze her, as she cruised to a first place victory, setting a new Albuquerque Convention Center record with a time of 1:26.70. New Mexico saw several athletes register performances that likely earned them a trip to the national championships. Head coach Joe Franklin said qualifying was very positive and important.

Liam Cary-Eaves | February 15

The sun was shining, the thermostat read mid-60s and the New Mexico players dressed in turquoise uniforms were all smiles during what felt like a midseason day at Santa Ana Star Field on Friday. UNM head coach Ray Birmingham said on baseball media day that the goal remains the same: to put another Mountain West championship year on the outfield wall. This year, Birmingham has a lot of confidence as the baseball season is set to begin in Hawaii on Friday, he said. The big thing that Birmingham said stands out is the atmosphere in the locker room.
